Is WGM the one to blame for the mess Oh Yeon Seo is in?


I feel like I need to tag this with 'Same Old' soon because the media is just not letting it go. At this point, I feel like the media/companies/producers are just plugging their ears and refusing to hear what viewers have been reiterating over and over and over and over because if you've been following this at all, every best reply has basically been a rewording of the other and yet producers are still not seeing what the problem is and asking questions about what went wrong in all the wrong directions.

Article: WGM's Oh Yeon Seo crisis, the producers were the ones that fanned the fire

The article basically pinpoints the WGM producers as the real issue behind this mess, saying that because they stuck their nose into what was essentially an issue Oh Yeon Seo and Lee Jang Woo alone should have resolved, they turned it into something bigger than it really was, digging their own grave in the end by trying to play the role of mediator when it wasn't their position to.

1. [+394, -16] Acknowledging the dating rumors and leaving the show -> no problem. Rejecting the dating rumors and staying on the show -> no problem. Acknowledging the dating rumors and saying you'll wait for the verdict of WGM and then going back on your word and saying you're still getting to know each other and then going back on your word again and saying you're not dating at all while crying and explaining yourself on TV -> there's a problem.

2. [+339, -56] Jang Woo is the amazing one. He's hiding under his shell like the cowardly turtle he is.

3. [+228, -31] No, Oh Yeon Seo's reps remain the problem. From the get go, she knew that WGM was a show that only took single celebrities so she should've started anything by apologizing to the viewers and the producers for essentially breaking the law of the program, whether or not she intended to. She was the one that brought the WGM producers into this by acknowledging the dating rumors, confirming them, and saying she would wait for the verdict of the WGM producers. Then barely two days later, she changed her stance without explanation. She should've just withdrawn from the show herself the first time she admitted to the dating rumors while apologizing to her partner and the staff. The third issue is that she says she is only of a junior/senior relationship with Lee Jang Woo and yet the pictures clearly show them on a date, kissing hands, and hugging. Is she taking us for fools? There is not one junior/senior relationship in real life that does any of those things together.
