The producers of the Netflix original talk show 'Risque Business: Japan' spoke up following the various controversies that surfaced as soon as the show aired.

Producers Jung Hyo Min and Kim In Sik, who directed the program, interviewed with media outlets at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of May 2. Producer Kim In Sik shared, “I expected various reactions,” and Producer Jung Hyo Min added, “We had to carefully observe the various reactions.”

Regarding the AV-related controversy, Producer Jung said, "Of course, this is the part I was most contemplated about and had meetings about. It is illegal to produce and distribute AVs in Korea. But is it illegal for individuals to watch AVs? I know that it is not illegal to watch them in Korea. However, production is legal in Japan. Globally, there are many countries where it is legal to produce AV."

He continued to share, "Listening to the story of individuals in that industry is not a legal issue in itself. Rather than discussing whether this industry is right or wrong, we focused on the sense of responsibility each individual has in the industry, and a sense of professional mission, and we tried to maintain a neutral attitude as much as possible."

Regarding the buzz on Shin Dong Yup, who is being asked to leave the entertainment programs due to his appearance on 'Risque Business,' the producers expressed their regret, saying, "We did not expect this at all." Producer Jung apologized to Shin Dong Yup, saying, "We weren't able to talk about this even when we were filming the Taiwan episodes just yesterday. I feel really sorry."

Meanwhile, Shin Dong Yup also expressed his position regarding this controversy at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards held last month, saying, "I am a very curious person so I love trying out various things. I like funny things as well as sexual things. I try to take on challenges constantly."
