The Wavve's original reality dating show 'ToGetHer', which centers around lesbian relationships, is currently facing a series of controversies.
Most recently, an issue arose when viewers claimed that participant Ri Won had previously worked as a broadcast jockey (BJ) and conducted content that was deemed provocative during live streams. In response, Ri Won admitted to the allegations through her social media, acknowledging her past actions and apologizing for any trouble caused to her fellow participants and the show's production team.
Following this, another participant on the show, Han Gyul, took to her social media to allege that Ri Won had made an inappropriate proposal to her. Han Gyul clarified that their relationship was purely platonic and detailed the encounter with Ri Won asking her on a trip overseas, which eventually led to an uncomfortable invitation for a 'meal date'.
The term 'meal date' used by Han Gyul is known in the broadcast jockey industry as a date arranged with a sponsor. This revelation sparked further outcry from netizens, amplifying Ri Won's initial controversy.
In response to Han Gyul's claims, Ri Won defended herself on social media, expressing regret for her past as a broadcast jockey and denying the accusations made by Han Gyul, affirming that she held no ill intentions towards her.
Ri Won also shared a communication exchange between her and Han Gyul, attempting to clarify the situation. She ended her statement by vowing to step away from the media once the program concludes.
As the show continues to navigate these controversies, it has been announced that the 'Repeat Restaurant' episode featuring Anyang will undergo a reshoot due to misinformation presented by a civilian participant.
