Embroiled in a controversy of distorting history, JTBC made a press release on the afternoon of the 26th. ŌĆ£Snowdrop is not a show that belittles the June Democratic Struggle, nor glorifies the NSP and spies. They explained, ŌĆ£Snowdrop is a black comedy that satirizes the presidential election amid a face-off between North and South of Korea with the military government of the 80s. Furthermore, it is a melodrama between young men and women who suffered in the chaotic era.ŌĆØ JTBC continued saying, ŌĆ£Parts of the incomplete synopsis was released online, raising criticisms based on sentences without context, but this is merely speculative.ŌĆØ They also emphasized, ŌĆ£Rumors of the show ŌĆśpresenting South Korean spies leading the democratic movement,ŌĆÖ ŌĆśreflecting certain figures who led the student movement,ŌĆÖ ŌĆśglorifying the NSPŌĆÖ are different from what Snowdrop is actually about. It also has nothing to do with the producersŌĆÖ intentions.ŌĆØ JTBC ended with a note asking everyone to ŌĆ£refrain from baseless criticism on the show before its release.ŌĆØ
