The creators of the Wavve original lesbian dating reality show 'ToGetHer' have decided to put a halt on releasing new episodes temporarily due to the growing controversy surrounding one of the cast members, Ri Won.

On May 1, Display Company, the show's producer, issued an official apology statement to the audience, acknowledging the current issues. They expressed regret over the concerns arising from recent developments related to the program.

The production team revealed that the controversy had quickly spread through online platforms and media, leading to doubts about the show's integrity and direction. They were deeply troubled by the negative impact of online harassment, such as targeted attacks, offensive comments, inappropriate messages, misinterpretations, and baseless accusations, which not only affected the cast but also the show, its viewers, and the wider LGBTQ+ community.

The focal point of the controversy revolves around claims that Ri Won had previously worked in a sexually explicit broadcasting role and identified as heterosexual. Moreover, there were allegations that she suggested an inappropriate overseas trip to a fellow cast member, Han Gyul. Ri Won has denied these accusations, labeling them as false.

The producers strongly refuted claims suggesting that they were aware of Ri Won's background before casting her. They clarified that every cast member had undergone a verification process and denied recruiting individuals with inappropriate intentions. Although there were initial suspicions, the evidence did not conclusively link to Ri Won during internal discussions. Ri Won herself addressed the claims during an interview, leading to the production team's decision to retain her based on insufficient evidence.

Regarding the allegations of the proposed trip, the team mentioned that the matter was discussed in a group meeting in early April, during which Ri Won reiterated her denial. They stressed the absence of concrete evidence to support the accusations and expressed the importance of halting further speculation until substantial proof emerged, which would prompt immediate and suitable action.

To address these issues, the team announced the postponement of episodes three and four, originally set to air on May 2, for an internal evaluation and restructuring period.

The producers stated their commitment to editing the show in a manner that preserves its emotional authenticity, incorporates public feedback and criticism, and respects the genuine experiences of the cast members.

Display Company, recognized for producing the LGBTQ+ dating series 'His Man,' reaffirmed its dedication to handling the project with sincerity and dignity, emphasizing that 'ToGetHer' should not be reduced to a spectacle revolving around past controversies.

In conclusion, the company expressed appreciation for the viewers' support and pledged to steer the show onward with honesty and accountability.
