On the 3rd, a citizen reportedly filed a complaint with the Anseong Police Station for violating the Cultural Heritage Act against the KBS2 drama 『Namju's First Night』.
Andong City Hall also filed a complaint with the Andong Police Station after confirming the Cultural Heritage Restoration Act.
In response, the Andong Police Station's investigation department filed a formal case (reception number 2025-○○) based on the complaint submitted through the National Newspaper and related evidence, and allocated it to the investigator to expedite the investigation" he replied.
Earlier, KBS2's new drama `Namjoo's First Night' starring actors Seo-hyun and Ok Taek-yeon was found to have damaged cultural assets while installing filming props at Byeongsan Seowon Mandaeru in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, causing public outrage. In response, KBS said on the 2nd that it is sincerely sorry that it caused viewers concern over the incident. At the end of last year, the production team received permission to film in advance at Byeongsan Seowon in Andong, and in the process of installing props, they received complaints from visitors at the site about how to nail cultural properties and hang props. Regardless of the reason, KBS apologized for the situation that occurred at the scene, saying, "We are sorry to realize the seriousness of the situation."
"We are currently discussing the best way to identify and recover from the situation." Regarding the situation at the time, the drama official is in talks with the officials of Byeongsan Seowon to check the site and to discuss the procedure for restoration. In addition, we will actively discuss measures to prevent recurrence and additional possible damage in the future. KBS once again said, `We sincerely bow down and apologize to everyone for all this incident related to the filming of the drama,' but the public's anger did not go away easily.
