Viewers were quick to notice that some of the cast members were not properly equipped for their tasks, such as preparing food for the customers.
At one point, Jo In Sung, the main host of "Unexpected Business" season 3, faced backlash for being unsanitary while at the Kimbap.
He was seen without a mask and facing the food while talking.
"As "Unexpected Business 3" is running a restaurant and kimbap 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."
The team expressed a "deep apology" on the matter, stating that it was "completely the production team's fault."
In addition, officials also explained that they thoroughly complied with the "local hygiene regulations and related laws" in the United States where the show was filmed; however, they acknowledge missing the "fundamentals," referring to sanitary gear.
As of now, the team is currently in the post-editing and broadcasting process; hence, they cannot correct procedures on the filming set but are encouraged to "work hard to reflect the opinions of viewers in editing and production."
The current season is the show's third installment, but it's their first time filming the variety program outside of South Korea.
