Official statement:

“JTBC <피크타임> 제작진입니다.

제작진은 양측의 주장이 엇갈리는 이번 사안에 대해 선의의 피해자가 생기지 않도록 사실 관계 파악에 신중을 기하고자 했습니다. 

오늘 제작진은 단시간 안에 명확하게 종결될 수 있는 사안이 아니라는 판단 하에 논의 끝에 김현재 군이 프로그램에서 하차하는 것으로 결정했습니다.

지금 이 순간에도 모든 참가자들이 자신들의 가치를 증명하고, 팀을 지키기 위한 각고의 노력을 펼치고 있습니다. 

희망으로 도전하는 모든 팀에게 응원 부탁드리며, 저희 제작진 역시 마지막까지 좋은 무대를 보여드릴 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠습니다. 

감사합니다.”
