Baek Ji-young and her husband also bowed their heads, saying, "We feel even more sorry than the production team for our careless oversight." The couple added, "We will strive to be more considerate of our viewers' feelings than simply focusing on the success of our content. Additionally, we apologize to Coupang for using the Freshbag without properly checking the correct usage guidelines."
