Another controversy arose over the ‘nuisance’ of the drama filming set.
On the 18th, a post protesting that the filming team of TV's original drama 'Pyramid Game' committed a nuisance by blocking students from leading the way to school and continuing filming was spread around an online community.
The author of the article expressed his anger, saying, "Is this a school zone? We stopped the sidewalk on the way to school last week and recorded it, and it happened again today. They put video equipment on the children's way to school to film a drama." He continued, "I was so angry while taking my children to school in the morning. No one came out to give safety instructions while filming. Even the sidewalks and bike paths were blocked, and the children walked on the road."
The author also released a photo taken of the scene at the time. In the photo, filming equipment was actually placed on the sidewalk and students carrying bags were walking down the sidewalk to avoid the equipment. Cars were passing by on the road right next to the students.
Afterwards, it was revealed that the drama was a 'pyramid game', and as the controversy grew, the production team immediately apologized.
'Pyramid Game' said, "We have confirmed that it caused inconvenience to walking at the filming location last week," and "We sincerely apologize for not paying more attention during the production process. We will strengthen safety through more thorough on-site management in the future and resolve any inconveniences." “I will do my best to prevent similar incidents from happening again,” he said in a public apology.
