'I-Land 2' suspicions of abuse and abuse of power arose... Mnet “Comply with laws, be careful with your words and actions”
Staff member A, who recently participated in the filming of 'I-Land 2', said, "It was funny to see the PD's attitude toward underage contestants," and that the production crew was abusive to underage contestants because "there was no tension," and that heating and ventilation were not done properly. They claimed that they were filming on a set so dusty that it was reminiscent of Dune 3.
Mr. A also said, “The cast members gathered together and said they were going to the bathroom to keep an eye on the production team. The main set was cold because the heating wasn’t working properly, so they made them shiver by wearing things that looked like mats as stage costumes.”
In response, the production team of ‘I-Land 2’ expressed a position that was close to the manual. 'I-Land 2' said, "We are complying with laws and guidelines related to minors within the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act and prioritizing the health and safety of cast members. The 'I-Land 2' set is equipped with various systems to create a safe environment and provides real-time “We are monitoring it. The appropriate temperature is automatically set for heating and cooling through a central control system, and the air quality inside the set is also measured regularly through an automatic ventilation system.”
He continued, “All cast members are provided with the necessary rest time during filming, and all staff entering the site are made to pay special attention to their words and actions toward applicants in accordance with the conduct guidelines.” He added, “The production team will continue to protect cast members and create a proper production environment.” “I will do my best for you,” he said.
