Following a strong response from SM Entertainment on last week’s broadcast of Super Lucky’s talk show “Fate is Fun”, the MCs of the show said that they were shocked with the news that SM Entertainment may file a lawsuit against them. Furthermore, the MCs sarcastically joked that the show has become a Korean variety show and that Chen Ling Ling had rose to stardom with that broadcast.
During this week’s show, the MCs explained that they did not mentioned about any girl group being forced to provide sexual favors and that they only mentioned that such phenomena exists. The MCs further added that such phenomena could happen anywhere. In reply to SM Entertainment’s statement that the program presented false and distorted facts, Chen Ling Ling explained that the show discussed the matter based on true facts published on a news article.(*1)
On the statement that their actions could tarnish SNSD’s image, the MCs said that the article bearing SNSD’s picture was taken from a source and they did not mention any girl group being involved in such activities.(*2) The MCs further explained that in the previous show, they expressed their admiration towards a Korean girl group’s (indirectly referring to SNSD) synchronized dance moves and their performances are far more impressive than Taiwanese groups.
The male MC then added that they have read their own luck/fortune and were convinced that they will not be facing any problem with it.

My comments:
*1. Being published on a news article does not mean it is true. Besides, there are MANY unreliable news source these days. Also, 1 case cannot represent everything that happens in an entire entertainment industry.
*2. The fact that the picture was shown on TV is already an act that could hurt the girls’ image. Even though, no name was mentioned, it gave people the wrong impression of the girls. Although the news article came from other sources, the broadcaster allowed it to be aired on TV. Thus, an invalid argument, in my opinion.
