SBS first spoke up on the issue and officially apologized for the lack of realism as many viewers felt a practicing doctor would never wear the nail art seen on the actress' hands. Several hours later, Park Shin Hye also apologized via Instagram and part of the apology stated, "I will be greeting viewers with clean nails on the remaining 4 episodes. I will need to remove it if the choice I made to cover up my insecurity became a hot issue on online communities. I will remove it. It is not a big deal."

However, she soon edited the second and third sentence, which was criticized for its tone. Part of her apology then read, "I have removed it because the choice I made to cover up my insecurity has concerned many viewers. I apologize." 

Despite the minor changes to improve her apology, Park Shin Hye ultimately deleted the post entirely as netizens were still displeased with her nail art as well as her apology.
