PD Didn't Mean It: Apologizes for Calling Produce 101 'Wholesome Porn'

[thebrassteapot.livejournal.com]

A follow-up to this post.

After receiving backlash for his recent interview with High Cut Magazine regarding Produce 101, PD Han Dong Chul released a statement on July 22 KST, “I am shocked and apologetic for the big misunderstanding caused by the words that I just used for expression. The way the words were misunderstood does not reflect my original intention...I am sorry for causing trouble because of my error in not thinking more carefully about what I say in reflection of what the original intention is. In light of this incident, I promise to be more cautious about my words.”


According to Mnet, Han Dong Chul meant to describe the show as “such powerful content that you can’t take your eyes off of it.”
...but instead he said the following:
“If a program is solid and organized well, people regardless of gender watch. The issue is with quality. The reason why we did the female version first is, I don’t know how to express it. It was from the thought that we needed to create wholesome pornography for males. (laughs) If you look at the contestants, they look like your younger sister or niece but aren’t they cute? I wanted to make that style of pornography. The male version will likewise be made to be pornography for females. In the past, they called Rain’s performance videos pornography for women. The male version of ‘Produce 101′ will satisfy that kind of fantasy. If it’s also fun then males will also watch. The male version has destructive power so I think it will be much more fun.”

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

"released a statement"? So... someone else probably wrote this shit for him? Either that, or the sarcasm is strong with this one.

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm sure we just "misunderstood"
Poor you

[pourtant.livejournal.com]

the worst thing about this isn't what he said, it's that what he said out loud is probably exactly what a lot of people in this industry in charge of creating and promoting these groups are thinking.

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

mte

like you're a gross piece of trash dude, but I'm 100% certain you're a low rung piece of trash in this disgusting industry

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

Sir you pretty much gave a look into what you personally get off from.....so yeah, you're fucking scum.

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's all just a big misunderstanding 😠

[yixingsforehead.livejournal.com]

i just watched the pick me mv for the first time earlier this week (after seeing ioi's weekly idol stunt), it was quite uncomfortable tbh. (it's not the only kpop vid like that, but still.)
i mean it ain't no porn, but it definitely has clear references to porn style shots, up the skirt, etc. i didn't read his interview or apology at the time, but i was like "damn, korea knows how to sell sex without it being sex".
i was wondering if i should check out the actual show, but no. after this i ain't giving them my attention for sure. people might judge the specific pd, but it's the whole production crew i guess. he's not alone.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

and he will still get jobs after this....

LOL FUCK NO

[gladdus.livejournal.com]

Firstly, there's no way his disgusting comment could be ~misunderstood~. He worded his thoughts very, very clearly.
Secondly, 'I'll be more cautious' is not an apology. Fuck this dude. I hope he falls into a shredder or something. And the worst part is that he'll still have a career after this...

[bluemaid86.livejournal.com]

"I'll be more cautious with my words" in other words i'll be more careful about revealing my dirty tendencies

But he's already made his tendenices clear so being cautious ain't gonna help him none. There was nothing to be misunderstood in his statement, nothing at all so idk who he's trying to fool. Ofc he'll keep his job so meh

[stephantasm.livejournal.com]

IDG when people apologize for being honest. Don't apologize, stand up in being a piece of shit. You're a cis, straight dude, you're gunna keep getting those perverted coins in your pocket regardless of an apology.

[love-quake.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. Sure, PD, SURE.

[thebrassteapot.livejournal.com]

anyway, i just wanted to put a face and name to the creeper

there were rumors (denied by mnet of course) that he was actually resigning, netizens also blame him for a lot of the shady editing on smtm and unpretty rapstar so it seems he's not exactly well-liked even before now.

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

he can apologize by jumping off a cliff

[pastelpinklace.livejournal.com]

Fire this fucker
