Broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo is now facing doubts about the authenticity of his show 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan,' following controversies surrounding 'I Live Alone.'

The production team of MBN and Channel S's 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 4' stated on their official SNS on the 13th: "Recently, false information regarding the restaurant selection for our broadcast has been spreading through various articles and social media posts. Contrary to reports suggesting that the program pre-selected restaurants or staged situations based on online comments and unverified eyewitness accounts, this is not true."

They further added: "The production team of 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan' does not contact the restaurant or its owner in advance before filming, nor do they inform them beforehand about the cast's visit. This has been a consistent production principle since the program's inception to the present day."

'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan' is a show where Jeon Hyun-moo visits restaurants and obtains on-the-spot filming permission, which is central to its concept. However, recent posts in online communities claimed that the 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 4' production team was waiting at a restaurant before it opened for business. The production team strongly denied these allegations.

These suspicions arose after MBC's 'I Live Alone,' in which Jeon Hyun-moo appears, became embroiled in manipulation controversies, casting doubt on the authenticity of his other programs as well.

Last month, 'I Live Alone' featured an impromptu trip to Kazakhstan by Jeon Hyun-moo. However, Almaty City's official website stated that the filming was conducted with support from the Almaty Tourism Bureau, and concerns were raised about the need for pre-notarized documents during the car rental process.

In response, the 'I Live Alone' production team explained: "Given Jeon Hyun-moo's long-standing interest in travel destinations and the flight situation at the time, we determined that Kazakhstan was a highly probable choice. Therefore, if the decision to go to Kazakhstan was made, we pre-booked staff flights and requested local filming cooperation in advance. If Jeon Hyun-moo chose another destination on the day or could not secure a flight to Kazakhstan, those staff tickets would be canceled. We also planned to naturally capture any unexpected situations arising during this process as part of the travel experience."

While Jeon Hyun-moo emphasized spontaneity in both 'I Live Alone' and 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan,' the controversy over 'I Live Alone' misleading viewers has negatively impacted his other programs. Moreover, Jeon Hyun-moo is set to debut a new MBN variety show titled 'This Is Hyunmu Road' on the 20th. This program also features Jeon Hyun-moo personally engaging with locals to discover authentic 'real local' experiences through a hardworking road trip, drawing attention to its commitment to realism.
