Actor Park Jung-min's publishing company Mujae is experiencing backlash after its television appearance.
On the 16th, Mujae expressed gratitude through its official SNS, stating, “We sincerely thank you for the great interest shown following the release of ‘First Summer, Wanju’ and the airing of tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block.’ However, since the broadcast, we have been overwhelmed with irrelevant calls and prank calls to the phone number listed on the back of the book, which has made it difficult to carry out our work.”
It continued, “Currently, Mujae is composed of two people, and we are working overtime and on weekends to prepare for publishing and book fairs. Therefore, we regret to inform you that we are unable to manage phone calls. We sincerely apologize for this. Instead, we have created a new email account to receive inquiries,” and shared the email for reader inquiries.
Finally, Mujae stated that there are no hiring plans at the moment, saying, “Since the broadcast, we have received resumes from some individuals, but we must politely decline. We will do our best to create a more wonderful and mature company with just the two of us for the time being.”
Park Jung-min appeared on ‘You Quiz on the Block’ aired on the 11th, sharing stories about his work with the only employee at the publishing company, including amusing after-work incidents.
