Starship the released an official statement to clarify the rumors. The statement read, "Shownu was in contact with the woman in question prior to her marriage. The woman got married recently around August, but our agency confirmed that Shownu did not know at all because the woman did not tell Shownu. Her husband contacted the agency, so we met up with him, and the whole story was explained. Afterwards, Shownu, who belatedly found out about her marriage, no longer contacted this woman at all. Shownu revealed that he would not get involved in the matters of a married couple’s relationship, and a text was sent via the law firm to confirm this stance. Regardless of the situation, we express apologies for causing emotional pain to the involved individuals and bringing trouble to fans. Furthermore, as an agency with the duty to protect our artists, we ask for your understanding of the possibility that we may inevitably take legal action regarding excessive misunderstandings and speculations."

- [+2,351, -726] ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ he didn't know?
- [+1,144, -203] Isn't Shownu the victim? He's saying he didn't know she was married and stopped contacting her after he found out. Plus his private life has been exposed now too. I don't think there's any reason to swear at him.
- [+1,021, -207] But if he didn't know she was married then he didn't do anything wrong right? If he really didn't know isn't this a violation of privacy?
- [+819, -138] But if she's cheating on you isn't Shownu the victim?
- [+1,178, -758] If he really did something wrong then we should rightly swear at him but how is it that Han Seo Hee is always in the middle...
- [+668, -258] But is it an affair if he didn't know?
- [+421, -71] So if he didn't have an affair isn't this a serious violation of privacy? Does she have the authority to expose someone like this? I think there's nothing else to do except sue her at this point.
