At the time, Jun Hyun-moo embarked on a unplanned trip, not only deciding on the travel destination and purchasing flight tickets at the airport but also booking accommodation and rental cars. However, after the broadcast, questions were raised about the realistic possibility of proceeding with filming preparations, such as staff flight tickets and on-site filming, without prior planning.In response, the production team initially explained, "We did not receive any filming support or sponsorship." However, when it became known that the official website of Almaty city featured news of 'I Live Alone's' on-site filming, they changed their stance after six days, stating, "We received administrative procedures and filming cooperation necessary for on-site progress for overseas filming."Subsequently, the production team issued an additional statement explaining, "We reviewed flight schedules and filming conditions in advance in preparation for overseas filming," and "We judged that there was a high probability that Jun Hyun-moo would choose Kazakhstan considering the overall situation." They added, "We pre-booked staff flights and requested on-site filming cooperation so that we could respond immediately if the trip to Kazakhstan was decided."subin7134@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
