On the 18th, MBC’s ‘I Live Alone’ released a trailer for the broadcast on the 24th. The trailer shows Jeon Hyun-moo meeting Park Jae-jeong, Kim Ji-seok, Hwasa, Seong-hoon, Lee Jang-won, and Key under the name of ‘Jeon Hyun-moo’s free meeting’.

The production team sent out subtitles that seemed to boast of Jeon Hyun-moo’s connections, saying, “A large number of celebrity guests are attending” in the video. In particular, they drew attention for the way social distancing was not observed, such as talking close to each other without wearing a mask in a closed room.

After the video was released, viewers are raising their voices of criticism in the comment box. “During the draft closing party, you said you were outdoors because you had to keep your distance, so you didn’t get together?”, “I’m surprised as soon as I saw the trailer”, “How many people are there?”, “Why did you use the corona excuse?” .

Previously, Gian84 finished the webtoon serialized for 10 years, and decided to go on a trip to the closing party with the members, showing great anticipation. However, Jeon Hyun-moo appeared alone, and Gian 84 showed a greatly disappointed expression. At that time, the studio gave the reason for this result by saying, “I couldn’t go because of the strengthening of social distancing due to COVID-19.”

After the broadcast at that time, the controversy over bullying by Gian84 arose. In response, ‘I Live Alone’ side said, “We apologize to those who felt even the slightest inconvenience. Disagreement between the members is not true.”

Amid the recent bullying controversy, an indoor group meeting was held under the name of ‘Free Association’. In this regard, attention is paid to what kind of attitude the production team will show in the actual broadcast.
