Criminal Documentary Series Bashed For Using Popular Idol As The Victim’s Photo

Recently, a past episode of MBC’s criminal analysis show, Hidden Eye, has resurfaced online.

In the episode that was aired last December, they used Stray Kids’ Hyunjin’s photo as the victim’s childhood photo, garnering a huge response online.

Fans were disappointed to see a TV program stealing images of an idol, and felt that this was an insult to the deceased and the family.

Netizens were also appalled that they would make such a mistake on a case analysis show.

• “Using any random photo on a criminal analysis show, of all shows? Is this right?”
• “They’ve lost it. Those crazy people, why do the broadcasting company staff have so little production ethics?”
• “They have lost their minds…”
• “Everyone knows they are the most sensitive about stock photos more than anyone else…they probably had tons of people review it before airing it, why are they doing this?”
• “Doesn’t everyone use AI-generated replacement photos these days?”
