In the teaser video for Mnet's new content channel M2, Yewon mentioned her past controversy with Lee Tae Im, even admitting at one point that she is "jealous of [Lee Tae Im]." 

Yewon reflected more on herself after seeing Lee Tae Im on a recent airing of 'SNL Korea,' which she had used as a platform to deliver an apology. Lee Tae Im had said, "[The controversy] is 100% my fault. Everything is unconditionally my fault. I really wanted to use this opportunity to apologize to Yewon who is probably still suffering."

After watching Lee Tae Im on 'SNL Korea' and hearing her apology, Yewon had sent Lee Tae Im a text message. She explained, "I sent [Lee Tae Im] a text telling her, 'This is Yewon. If you have the time, please give me a call. I'll be waiting.' And she contacted me at night." 

Yewon continued, "Her voice was bright. And she told me, 'I'm alright. Why aren't you on TV?' So I thought, 'Ah, what a relief. Unnie must be much better,' and even felt a bit jealous."

Yewon continued, "I saw that video clip and it's the first time I really saw myself. When I replied in such a brusque manner, there was a side of me that I wasn't really conscious of [at the time]. I realized belatedly that 'Ah so that's how I had acted.' Even looking at myself I just went, 'Ha...' I was like, 'Wow, why did I do that?' I think my emotions got ahead of me and I said those things without really thinking. If I were able to go back to that moment, I think I would say, 'I'm sorry.'"
