The Korean program "HIDDEN EYE" officially apologized for mistakenly using a childhood photo of Stray Kids' Hyunjin. Recently, in an online community, a post caused a stir regarding the December broadcast of MBC every1's "HIDDEN EYE" episode titled "Christmas Murder Case," where Hyunjin's childhood photo was mistakenly used as a photo of a murder victim. In response, the production team confirmed on May 26 through an official comment that "we have belatedly confirmed that Hyunjin's photo was used" and explained the circumstances, stating, "In the process of utilizing photos stored on the device used by the victim while alive, we mistakenly inserted Hyunjin's childhood photo, thinking it was the victim's photo." They continued, "We sincerely apologize for causing concern to Hyunjin and his fans, and we deeply apologize for the confusion caused to the viewers." The production team also announced that they would correct or remove the problematic broadcast segments, YouTube clips, and rewatch services.
