"I Live Alone" was embroiled in a controversy after introducing a Japanese publisher, Sohakgwan (Shogakukan), who reportedly used a writer who committed sexual crimes against children.

On the 16th, MBC's "I Live Alone" (hereinafter referred to as "Nahonsan") praised the Japanese publisher's Sohakgwan on the 13th, but when it became controversial, it edited the scene and re-uploaded it on VOD and OTT platforms, and did not apologize.

In addition, a poster of the 17th "Detective of the Sea" theater version of the animated "Detective Conan," which was not released in Korea due to the controversy over the war crimes period, also appeared in "Nahonsan," which was further controversial. A netizen who watched the animation said, "It was produced in cooperation with the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the Japanese Aegis ship also appears."

Netizens said, "I wondered if it was okay to be on the terrestrial TV," "I think I deleted it as the controversy grew," and "Didn't you even check the issue if it was illuminated enough to find and insert cartoons after shining a light on the building?" He/she criticized a lot, such as "I would have not known if I had just come out as a place," and "Is it possible for a broadcasting station that is more sensitive to checking issues than anyone else to do this?"

The touching scene where Gian84 went to meet Junji Ito, a Japanese cartoonist who was an icon of the controversy over "Nahonsan" faded its meaning. Gian84 visited the publishing company's Sohakgwan, where Junji Ito is active, and the controversy would not have erupted if the production team did not introduce the Sohakgwan with a feeling of encouragement.

The 'Nahonsan' production team illuminated the elementary school building and inserted the caption, "Japan's leading cartoon publisher that produced 'Doraemon,' 'Inuyasha,' and 'Detective Conan.' He also explained, "Junji Ito's works such as 'Vortex' and 'Fish of Fear' are also published here."

It has become an issue in Japan recently after it was revealed that the Sohakgwan had changed his pen name to a writer convicted of a child sex crime and continued his work on a cartoon platform related to the Sohakgwan. It is also pointed out that the production team pushed for broadcasting in Korea without even knowing the timeliness.
