On the 29th of last month, MBC 'The Phone You Called Now' (played by Kim Ji-woon, directed by Park Sang-woo and We Deuk-gyu) production team apologized for causing concern with some sign language scenes through the viewer bulletin board. They take seriously the criticism that inappropriate handling of sign language resulted in caricature of farmers and Korean sign language" he said.
'Jijeon's side 'The phone you called now' is a work designed with an important theme of 'communication' between people, and there was no intention of caricature or mocking the sign language, a valuable communication tool for farmers. However, I humbly admit that the production team lacked efforts to more carefully examine and reflect the difficulties faced by farmers and Korean sign language in the process of producing the work. In the future, while completing the work, I will make every effort to prevent the same mistake from being repeated.
The movie depicts a secret romance thriller between a show window couple in their third year of marriage, which began with a threatening phone call. Hong Hee-joo (Chae Soo-bin), the main character in the play, is a sign language interpreter who suffers from suffocation. Among them, the scene that has been pointed out by viewers is the first episode, which was broadcast on the 22nd, and when Hong Hee-joo made a transmission error while interpreting the landslide, the sign expressing 'san' was repeatedly played, and anchor Na Yu-ri (Jang Gyu-ri) used the 'san' sign as a laughing scene by interpreting it as a finger swear word toward Hong Hee-joo.
After the broadcast 'The phone you just dialed' was criticized. Reasons for disparaging sign language, a means of communication for the deaf. The sign language club of Chung-Ang University also said about this scene in 'The phone you just called is'San's sign language is not only different from that of the finger, but has been consumed as a joke by a blue man, and is a sign language like trauma to a farmer.'Discrimination, ridicule, and hatred beyond disrespect to farmers and signers'.
The side of 'Jijeon' is an important subject that plays a decisive role in the two protagonists' communication by opening up their long-closed hearts in the drama 'Sure is 'The Phone You Called Now'. Through the process of understanding each other's language and reaching communication, the two will try to remain as works that convey the value of sign language, an important communication tool connecting people. "Please continue to watch the work with interest, and if there is anything lacking, please point it out. I apologize again with my head down."
