Season 32's Young-soo (real name Choi Jung-hyun) from "I Am Solo" installed and filmed with a camera in the newlywed home without the consent of his virtual wife, Guk-hwa (real name Jeong Min-hyun).

In the episode of the variety show "Contract Marriage," broadcast on KBS Joy and MBC Every1 on the 2nd, Season 32's Young-soo and Guk-hwa were shown experiencing conflict.

That day, after finishing their evening date, the two returned home and set up a second round, pouring drinks. However, Young-soo could not focus on his conversation with Guk-hwa, and his gaze kept drifting elsewhere.

It turned out that while Guk-hwa was cooking, Young-soo had installed a camera he had brought personally and frequently changed the angle to film for two days. Guk-hwa was completely unaware of this fact.

Regarding the camera, Young-soo explained, "This is mine. I filmed a few clips to keep as my own. Are you upset because I installed it without prior consent? I just filmed it as a memento."

However, Guk-hwa was taken aback and said, "If you were going to film, you should have told me. I think we need to talk about this."

In response, Young-soo retorted, "I just did it because I wanted to try it out. If you want me to delete the (filmed videos) later, I will. I'm sorry for not getting consent. But aren't you being very sensitive?" worsening the situation. The MCs watching also pointed out Young-soo's behavior, saying, "This isn't about sensitivity; it's something that would make anyone feel uncomfortable."

Guk-hwa demanded, "I want you to delete all the videos right in front of me," and then personally took the memory card. Afterwards, Guk-hwa went to bed first to avoid Young-soo.

"Contract Marriage" is a marriage simulation observation reality show where men and women who wish to marry experience a marital relationship through a contract, confirming the meaning of marriage and realistic partnership in the process. It is a new variety program by PD Nam Gyu-hong, who directed "I Am Solo" and others.

Criticism continues that installing and filming with a camera without the other party's consent is clearly problematic, even for participants connected through "virtual marriage" and "variety show appearances." Indeed, immediately after the broadcast, numerous netizens raised critical voices through comments on broadcast clips, stating things like, "It would be an issue even in a real marriage, but installing a hidden camera during a virtual marriage is too chilling," "I can't tell how lucky it is that this was discovered now," "From a woman's perspective, it is a very scary and chilling incident," "Filming alone or without the other party's consent without anyone knowing is a 'hidden camera,'" "This is an act that should not be packaged as simply a participant being quirky," "I was so scared watching the broadcast," and "What did the production team do by not intervening in that situation?"
