SHINee's Jong Hyun's sister says, "We've been hiding for a long time, but let's overcome this together from now on"... Launching psychological counseling project for young cultural artists
"Late Jong Hyun association suspicion" TV series "The 'Run with Song-jae on your back' side has drawn a line under allegations that it is reminiscent of the late Jung-hyun, a member of the Korean boy group SHINee. The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Run with Sungjae on Your Back' is based on the story 'What if you get a chance to save your guess?' (played by Byun Woo-seok), a moment when he gave up his will to live, and the death of the famous artist 'Ryu Sung-jae' (played by Byun Woo-seok), who kept him alive, led to the death of a desperate fanatic fan, 'Im Seol' (played by Kim Hye-yun). (played by Kim Hae-yun), who is desperate after the death of famous artist Ryu Sung-jae (played by Byun Woo-seok), travels back in time to the year 2008 in order to keep her alive. However, it was surrounded by controversy as it reminded the viewer of the late Jung Hyun, who suddenly passed away in 2017. The fact that the show takes place in 2008, when 'SHINee' debuted, and the fact that the first broadcast date is the late JungHyun's birthday, were seen as problematic. In response, the 'Run with Sungjae on Your Back' side explained that 'Sungjae's debut year is 2009 and the drama is based on the web novel 'Tomorrow's Best',' and that the drama was not created with a specific person or situation in mind. The drama is based on the web novel 'Tomorrow's Best'. He continued that the drama was set 15 years in the past, unlike the original story, which was set six years in the past, and that "during the planning process, we decided that the setting of six years in the past in the original story was not appropriate to depict the two protagonists' lively times or to show the difference in time periods, so we decided to set the drama 15 years in the past in 2008, which clearly shows the contrast in time with the year 2023. The background was set in 2008, 15 years before 2023, which clearly shows the historical contrast. Regarding the suggestion that the first broadcast date was 8 April, the birthday of the late Jung-hyun, he clarified, "It was decided sequentially according to the organising order of the existing tvN Monday-Tuesday drama block, and we inform you that it is practically impossible to intentionally set the date. Meanwhile, 'Run with Sonje on Your Back' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50pm.", are viewers being too suspicious? ... Impossible connections seen from explanation
