A line said by actress Oh Yeon Seo on SBS drama 'Come Back Mister' has now been deemed okay for broadcast after becoming a topic of controversy among viewers.

The line in question was used during episode 8 of the currently airing drama, where the actress said, "Isn't the first thing for an un-loved person to do to reflect on himself? But they always try to blame others, these immature men. They ought to go hold up their penis for punishment or just commit suicide." 

Many viewers expressed discomfort about the line in question, wondering whether such sexual language should be allowed on a public broadcast. On April 6, the Board of Broadcasting Review met to discuss the topic at hand and concluded, "The fact that a female character, who in fact is a male character in the guise of a female, used the word 'penis' once can hardly be seen as sexually inappropriate." 


Prior to the board's meeting, SBS staff took to their website to apologize on behalf of the drama for the controversy they caused. 

We're glad to see the topic settled, so we can all just go back to enjoying the drama again!
