 'Project 7' side, 'Require even a copy of it'' Controversy over power abuse 'Misunderstanding of self-identification procedures' (Full Story)
JTBC 'Project 7' expressed its position on the controversy over power abuse.

The production team said on the 4th that "Project 7" is the first audition to create a global idol that has been assembled and strengthened by fans, so the first competition requires an identification process because on-site voting is carried out. "We informed the audience in advance of the inconvenience caused by the identification process and the reason, but found that there was a misunderstanding in the process." he said.

Netizen A tried to participate in the audience of 'Project 7' on the 1st, but revealed that the production team requested ID, address authentication, cards with names, selfie photos, and registered copies. Netizens also said 'Gabjil' due to excessive demands for personal information.

As public opinion deteriorated, the production team explained that they checked their ID cards at the same time as they wrote the consent form, checked their address or phone number if the applicant's date of birth and the contents of their ID card were different.

The production team "Most of the audience entered after completing the confirmation in step 1, but it was confirmed that there was about one case that reached step 3"Before, the production team directly managed the audience's position, but in this case, the number of applicants was excessive, and the position management was entrusted to other survival studio management companies, and it seems that there was a misunderstanding in the process."

In the meantime, "I apologize for the fact that there was an audience that felt somewhat uncomfortable."I will be more careful not to cause such misunderstanding in the future."," he added.

Next, the full story of the production team's position.

Thank you for your interest in 'PRODUCT 7(Project 7)'.

We fact-checked excessive personal information and matters related to self-authentication.

First of all, since Project 7 is the first audition to create a global idol that has been assembled and strengthened with the power of fans, the first competition requires an identification process because on-site voting takes place.

In this regard, we informed the audience in advance of the possible inconvenience caused by the identification process and why, but we found that there was a misunderstanding in the process.

1) Check ID at the same time as you fill out the consent form

2) Check the address or phone number if the date of birth and the contents of the ID card you have are different

3) Since then, additional mobile phone certificates or photos have been carried out step by step.

Most of the audience entered after completing the confirmation in step 1, but it was confirmed that there was about one case that reached step 3.

Previously, the production team directly managed the audience's position, but in the case of this site, the number of applicants was excessive,

We entrusted the position management to other survival rust prevention management companies, and it seems that there was a misunderstanding with each other in the process.

We apologize for the occurrence of an audience that felt somewhat uncomfortable.

'Project 7' is a program created by the power of world assemblers, so we will be more careful not to cause this misunderstanding in the future.

Thank you.
