On the 8th, an online community post claimed to have filed a lawsuit against the production team of ‘Hyun-young King of Mask Singer 2’. The author, Mr. A, pointed out that after four contestants were eliminated in the preliminaries, two active singers were suddenly added before the finals. Mr. A suspected this was essentially a pre-determined choice and requested an investigation from the Seoul Mapo Police Station on charges of obstructing business against the production team.
Mr. A cited a Supreme Court precedent, emphasizing that the crime of obstruction of business can be established not only by the result but also by the potential risk. He argued that the production team caused misunderstanding among other participants and undermined fairness, thus fulfilling the requirements for the crime of obstruction of business.
