SBS's 'Master of Living' has been engulfed in allegations of 'unauthorized filming'.

The SBS current affairs and documentary program 'Master of Living', episode 1030, which aired on the 11th, featured the segment 'War of Breads – Korea's Best Croissant'.

While croissant masters from across the country were introduced, a business owner who appeared in today's episode posted a scathing post on social media, sparking controversy.

Business owner A strongly criticized the program on their social media, stating, "'Master of Living' broadcast is truly trash." They added, "I haven't watched it for quite some time; it's the program I dislike the most," and raised allegations of 'unauthorized filming' by the 'Master of Living' side, noting that "the broadcast never discussed prior permission or any consent with the production team."

Owner A claimed, "We are currently struggling to operate and want to respond to each customer quietly. This feels like deception to self-employed individuals and nothing but broadcast tyranny. The aftermath is someone else's problem, and the fact that we are too busy to do anything even if such incidents occur is what truly makes me angry. They came early in the morning, and I clearly told them not to film, but they didn't leave and secretly filmed with their mobile phones, so I even told them I would call the police."

Furthermore, Owner A stated that the production team's behavior was improper, from knocking on the door during important work hours starting at dawn. They reported that "even after refusing filming, they returned an hour later and secretly filmed the work through the crack in the door." Despite a clear expression of refusal to film, they endured the production team's persistent approach, and also expressed the stance that they "almost pressed the security alarm."

In this regard, the 'Master of Living' side has not yet released a statement.
