The Ministry of Employment and Labor has decided to conduct an investigation into the safety controversy involving on-site staff during the bungee jumping scene in MBC's variety show 'I Live Alone.'

On the 22nd, the Gangwon Regional Office of the Chungbu Regional Employment and Labor Office under the Ministry of Employment and Labor announced that it had accepted a complaint regarding the relevant incident from MBC's entertainment program 'I Live Alone' (hereinafter referred to as 'I Live Alone') as a reported case, and would proceed with an investigation after assigning labor inspectors.

On the 19th, a post was uploaded to the online community OnLINE stating that an industrial safety complaint had been submitted through the National Call Center requesting a thorough investigation into whether safety measures were implemented at the bungee jumping filming site of 'I Live Alone.'

The author emphasized the need to verify whether appropriate fall prevention measures were taken for the on-site staff who assisted Koo Sung-hwan during his bungee jump. In particular, they demanded an investigation to determine the exact employment relationships between the filming location and facility operator, and the on-site staff, as well as whether the employer's obligation to implement safety measures stipulated in the Occupational Safety and Health Act was properly observed.

In the episode of 'I Live Alone' broadcast on the 16th, Koo Sung-hwan was shown attempting a bungee jump with an acquaintance. Although Koo Sung-hwan overcame his fear and successfully completed the challenge, some viewers raised concerns after the broadcast, suggesting that it appeared the on-site staff had not implemented thorough safety equipment or fall prevention measures.
