Production Team Of "Unexpected Business 3" Apologizes For Sanitary Conditions

tvN’s “Unexpected Business 3” has released an official apology following recent controversy regarding the restaurant’s sanitary condition.

“Unexpected Business” is a variety show in which actors Jo In Sung and Cha Tae Hyun run a small supermarket in a quiet countryside town together. The third season of the program follows the actors as they run a store in California.

Recently, the show was criticized by viewers when scenes of the cast making food such as kimbab (Korean dish) without masks were broadcast.

On November 10, “Unexpected Business 3” released the following statement:

This is the production team of “Unexpected Business 3.”
The production team came across the various opinions sent in by viewers after the previous broadcast.

As “Unexpected Business 3” is running a restaurant and kimbab corner together, we should have paid close attention to hygiene, but there were shortcomings such as the lack of wearing a mask that caused concern to viewers. We deeply apologize regarding this, and we want to inform you that this is completely the production team’s fault.

All the content for this season for our program was filmed in the United States, and we made efforts to throughly comply with the complex local hygiene regulations and related laws. However, in this process, we believe we actually missed the fundamentals. Furthermore, due to the nature of broadcasts which must summarize events in a short period of time, we could not properly deliver the efforts of the actors regarding sanitary conditions, which we are regretful and apologetic for.

The program is currently in post-editing and broadcasting [stages] after completing all the filming. Although the criticisms cannot be reflected on the filming set, we will work hard to reflect the opinions of viewers in editing and production as much as possible going forward. We once again sincerely apologize for what we were lacking, and we will put more effort into production going forward.
