Channel A anchor Kim Jin criticized the production team of 'I Live Alone' regarding their explanation about the Kazakhstan travel episode, stating it was "not truthful."

On the 1st, Anchor Kim posted on her SNS a message reading "Failed to issue tickets for Almaty, Kazakhstan flights on the same day for up to eight people including the production team," along with a screenshot of the online flight booking page.

The released photo showed a search result screen set for eight passengers looking for flights to Almaty, Kazakhstan on that day. The message "No flights available under your selected conditions" drew attention.

Anchor Kim remarked, "MBC's 'I Live Alone' received filming cooperation from Almaty yet acted as if it were an impromptu trip, even renting a car on the spot, and its explanation and broadcast were not truthful."

She further emphasized, "It was impossible to secure tickets for six to eight people to Almaty on the same day."

In the 'I Live Alone' episode featuring Jeon Hyun-moo, which aired last month on the 14th, he was shown heading to Incheon International Airport without a specific destination and impulsively booking a ticket to Almaty, Kazakhstan. Upon arriving in the local area, Jeon Hyun-moo rented a car and continued his journey.

However, after the broadcast, some raised claims that the trip, which required prior preparation, was staged as an impromptu travel experience. Controversy arose particularly over the fact that driving in Kazakhstan is not possible with only an international driver's license issued in Korea, and that it is practically difficult to decide on overseas filming schedules involving numerous production members on the same day.

The Almati City Government of Kazakhstan also stated regarding the Jeon Hyun-moo episode that "filming was conducted with support from the city's tourism bureau and tourism marketing institutional investors." As this revealed that the travel filming had been pre-planned, the production team conveyed a second statement: "We confirm that the local filming proceeded smoothly thanks to administrative procedures required for local filming and filming cooperation obtained for on-site operations."
