Addressing the criticism BoA received for her role as Oh Yu Ra, Park Min Young expressed understanding of the challenges of joining a drama midway.

She noted that it's difficult for any actor, even veterans, and emphasized the challenging nature of BoA's role.

Park Min Young hoped that viewers could see beyond the acting and appreciate the effort both she and BoA put into their performances.

Furthermore, Park Min Young highlighted the positive aspects of having captivating villains in the drama, and she suggested that BoA's addition could be a buildup for another surprise in the storyline.

Overall, Park Min Young encouraged viewers to see BoA's contribution to the drama in a positive light.

Read her statement below:

"I don't want to defend or take sides, but personally, I think it's difficult for anyone to join a drama midway. It's hard even for veteran actors, and joining a popular drama midway is even harder. She took on a really difficult and challenging role, and I hope people can see beyond the acting and appreciate it as something beautiful. BoA and I are the same age, so just looking at her, I think, 'We've both endured a lot.' I did my best during filming, and I hope people can recognize that she did her best too. Fortunately, we have a lot of captivating villains in the drama, and with BoA's addition, it may feel frustrating, but I think it can also be a buildup for another surprise. I hope people will see it positively."

On March 12, Yeri posted a photo on her social media, showing herself with a woman believed to be Kim Sae Ron. The two were seen affectionately linking arms, reminding fans of their close friendship.

But what really caught attention was the message Yeri shared alongside the photo. She included lyrics from Jennie’s song "Slow Motion (feat. Zico)", which has gained meaning after Jennie revealed she wrote it "for one special friend."

Yeri specifically highlighted this line:

Seeing Yeri’s emotional post, fans left messages of support, saying:
"This is so heartbreaking..."
"Yeri and Sae Ron had such a precious friendship."
"We miss you, Sae Ron."

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family recently made shocking claims through the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute. They alleged that she had been in a six-year relationship with Kim Soo Hyun since she was 15 years old and that her former agency, Gold Medalist, initially covered the ₩700 million KRW (~$530,000 USD) for her DUI accident, only to later demand repayment after her contract ended.

It was also claimed that Kim Sae Ron had posted an old photo with Kim Soo Hyun in an attempt to get in contact with him or his agency, as they had allegedly cut her off.

However, Gold Medalist firmly denied all allegations, stating, “The claims made by Garo Sero Institute regarding actor Kim Soo Hyun are completely false.”

As more details continue to unfold, fans are remembering Kim Sae Ron for the person she was, not just the controversies surrounding her. Yeri’s post has reminded everyone of the beautiful friendships she had in the industry.
