Yoo Ki-hwan, manager of the Netflix content team, explained the method of verifying actors.
On the morning of the 4th, the 'Netflix Entertainment Masil' event was held at Myeongdong Community House Masil. Producer Jeong Hyo-min, PD Lee Eun-kyung, PD Park Jin-kyung, PD Kim Jae-won, PD Jeong Jong-yeon, and Netflix content team manager Yoo Ki-hwan attended the event.
Netflix, including 'Physical 100' and 'Solo Hell', also failed to avoid controversy over its cast. Regarding the verification of contestants, Manager Yoo said, "It may differ slightly depending on the program, but we also receive life records and check the contestants' stress and risks through mind sessions."
He added, "We sometimes look through social media with the person's consent. There is also a contract in place that asks the person directly and holds them accountable if they answer falsely. However, it is unfortunate that issues continue to come up."
