Mnet releases official statement about conflict between 'Superstar K7' and contestant

Mnet representatives stepped forward to give an official statement regarding the recent strife between 'Superstar K7' contestant Shin Ye Young and the program's production team. Earlier last week, Shin Ye Young had ranted on her Facebook about being the victim of 'evil editing' on the program, leading her to earn a negative reputation in the public's eye. 

On November 16, Mnet relayed, "The production crew and Shin Ye Young are talking things out. The misunderstanding between the production crew and Shin Ye Young will be resolved through communication. What the professor said to Shin Ye Young may have been hard for her to discern as truth as an audition participant," referencing what Shin Ye Young had written on her Facebook, and added, "But after checking with the production crew, what the professor said was false. We will work with Shin Ye Young to determine the truth and discuss the proper recourse. If need be, we will consider taking legal action.

"Superstar K's filming progresses as a program with a realistic element. There were no forcible filming but we deeply regret not being more considerate of Shin Ye Young's struggles adjusting to the filming environment. We will try our best to resolve this issue quickly." 

Shin Ye Young had revealed on her Facebook recently that she was recommended by the professor at her school to sign a contract with a newly-established agency run by a high-ranking Mnet official. When she declined the recommendation, Shin Ye Young explained that the professor had told her she may be at a disadvantage on the show. She also claimed that she was the victim of manipulative editing, which had spawned into a controversy.
