The staff members of 'SNL Korea' have issued an officially apology to SM Entertainment, SONES, members of Girls' Generation, as well as the viewers for their recent episode, hosted by Wonder Girls, that discomforted many viewers.


In one of the skits titled, 'The 5th Army President,' members of Wonder Girls were seen depicted as military generals who took the throne for their numerous years of being the number one girl group for soldiers. 
As a part of the skit, SNL crew members were seen burning and stomping on photos of Girls' Generation, infuriating Korean SONES. The skit also made it seem as though the only reason Girls' Generation was able to take the number one spot was only because Wonder Girls left for America.

In response to the angry fans, 'SNL Korea' posted an official apology to SONES and SM Entertainment via Facebook. 


They wrote, "We would like to address the scene involving Girls' Generation that aired during the 'The 5th Army President' digital skit of yesterday's episode hosted by Wonder Girls. While trying to illustrate Wonder Girls' history in a drama format, we couldn't avoid mentioning the most popular group Girls' Generation.
