On August 22, an SBS representative revealed to OSEN denied previous reports stating that the show had deleted the trailer to its FIFTY FIFTY episode due to the massive backlash following its airing.
We didn’t delete the trailer due to the controversy. We usually take down the trailers for episodes after airing them. It is being reported that we deleted it because of the backlash, but this isn’t true.
