The production team of MBC's entertainment program "I Live Alone" admitted that there was prior preparation for Jeon Hyun-moo's impromptu trip to Kazakhstan and sincerely apologized. The production team explained that they considered Jeon Hyun-moo's usual interest in travel destinations and flight conditions, judged that the possibility of a trip to Kazakhstan was high, and pre-issued air tickets for the staff and requested local filming cooperation. However, they acknowledged that the expression "impromptu trip" caused misunderstanding and confusion among viewers and promised to reflect on their production methods and attitudes. The broadcast showed Jeon Hyun-moo deciding on his travel destination at the airport and departing for Almaty, Kazakhstan, to rent a car, but some pointed out that pre-notarized documents are required to drive in the country. In addition, controversy further spread when the Almaty city government announced that the filming of "I Live Alone" was supported by the tourism authority.
