“Please refrain from mentioning him” 'Single’s Inferno 5' contestant Lim Subeen's agency CEO publicly calls out Kim Mingee

'Single's Inferno 5' star Lim Subeen's agency CEO directly criticized Kim Mingee in public.

On the 20th, Lim Subeen's agency CEO Lee Seojun tagged Kim Mingee's Instagram account on his Instagram Story and wrote, "Hello, Mingee-ssi. What is your intention behind using this footage without any prior discussion or sharing with our company? I only became aware of it through fan reports, and honestly I was quite surprised." He continued, "From now on, we ask that you refrain from mentioning our actor, Lim Subeen."

The scene that sparked the controversy is a footage from a recent YouTube video uploaded by Kim Mingee titled, "Decorating 11-pyeong two-room apartment with Kim Mingee's aesthetic." In the video, Kim Mingee and Woo Sungmin were choosing a bed for her apartment, and while lying on the same bed model used in Paradise on Netflix's 'Single's Inferno 5,' she mentioned Lim Subeen and their date in Paradise. 

Kim Mingee laughed as she recalled the moment, saying, "We came all the way to an expensive hotel, so maybe Soobin wanted to try lying on the bed since we were staying at such an expensive hotel. I should’ve stepped out." The video also showed footage from 'Single's Inferno 5' showing her and Lim Subeen lying side-by-side on the bed while chatting during their date in Paradise.

However, after the agency CEO publicly spoke out, many netizens responded negatively, leaving comments such as, "It's a scene that already aired on the show, so why is he telling her not to mention it?", "This is the first time I've seen an agency CEO personally step in like this," and "The reaction feels overly sensitive."
