An official apology was made due to the controversy over the unlicensed acupuncture in 'Haeundae Lovers.'
Before the airing of the 5th episode of the KBS drama 'Haeundae Lovers' on the 20th of August, the production team made an official apology through subtitles.
The production team revealed, "We sincerely apologize for the scene that included the practice of unlicensed acupuncture. We stress that since the practice of unlicensed acupuncture can be very dangerous, you should go to licensed acupuncturists for treatment."
In the 3rd episode of 'Haeundae Lovers,' Go So Ra (played by Jo Yeo Jung) had told Lee Tae Sung (played by Kim Kang Woo) that acupuncture would help him with his insomnia, therefore placing acupuncture needles into him. The viewers had pointed out that this was a breach of the laws of medical practice.
On the other hand, in this drama 'Haeundae Lovers,' Lee Tae Sung lost all of his memories and does not remember his social standing.
