We sincerely apologize and promise to be more cautious in the future.” The scenes containing the mentioned dialogue were also completely removed from the drama. They issued an apology, saying, “ We never intended to trivialize historical tragedies. They stated, “ We should have mentioned it from an accurate perspective of historical facts, but we failed to carefully consider it.” The production team of “Bora! Deborah” eventually acknowledged their lack of caution in the dialogue. Even the actors who failed to recognize the problem when reading the script are being criticized. Korean netizens strongly criticize such gossip-like remarks that trivialize such tragedies.

It is regrettable that the controversy only ended with a brief apology of “We failed to pay meticulous attention” and the deletion of the controversial footage. Now, ENA Thursday-Friday drama “Bora! Deborah” committed the same mistake, and took it even further by comparing a historical tragedy to the importance of appearance.
