In the 6th episode of 「UJUNG MERRY」, which aired on the 25th, Yoon Jin-kyung (Shin Seul-ki) was performing CPR on a cardiac arrest patient in the park, and a man secretly filmed her with a mobile phone. After witnessing this, Baek Sang-hyun (Bae Nara) handed over his coat and said "Please cover it up" and continued CPR himself. Baek Sang-hyun, who captured the perpetrator and stole his mobile phone, said "Illegal filming is up to seven years in prison and a fine of less than 50 million won." If you come out more with forensics, you are a habitual criminal, so there is no leniency. It will be difficult for a habitual offender to get out even the rich parents, he warned.
Afterwards, he deleted the photos and said, "I think this is my first time, so I let it go, but next time, it's not easy."," he added.
Immediately after the broadcast, some viewers showed discomfort in directing without any awareness of the problem. Even though the victim was a woman, it was pointed out that the judgment and resolution process of the case was centered on male characters, and that it was inappropriate to arbitrarily judge whether the perpetrator was a first-time offender and not report the perpetrator to the police.
Especially, SBS's official channel filmed the scene 'Shin Seul-ki's hidden camera. Under the title of 'Bae Nara's Cool Cham Education', it was published as a shorts video, further raising the controversy.
On the other hand, "Woojuri Mimi" is a romantic comedy about Kim Woo-ju (Choi Woo-sik) and U-meri (Jeong So-min), who are trying to protect a high-end honeymoon house giveaway for 90 days. The viewership for the sixth episode was up to 9.7%.
