TVN said it will try to confirm the fact that it is controversial about the authenticity of 'Sawed perch' purchased from Busan of Hometown Flex '.
A TVN official said on the 18th that he had "confirmed the facts after the broadcast" about the controversy over the authenticity of Sawed perch, which appeared in the Busan side of "Hometown Flex" recently.
"We will pay attention to the fact-checking in future productions, and I hope that the merchants (sold to the production team) may not have known about the fish species, so I hope it will not be damaged," an official said.
In the Busan episode of Hometown Flex ' broadcast on July 19, I found the market for Busan Jagalchi. Lee Seung-gi has been buying Sawed perch for the game on air.
After the broadcast, some netizens pointed out that Sawed perch was fake. Fish columnist Kim Ji-min has also begun to determine whether or not the Sawed perch, which appeared on the "Hometown Flex" through his YouTube channel "Memories of the Sing", was fake.
Kim Ji-min claimed that the hybrid in Hometown Flex ' is a completely different species from the Sawed perch. Sawed perch in Korea is not extinct, but it is hardly picked up. In the meantime, it is Epinephelus bruneus that is treated as a actually Sawed perch. He also explained that he mixed male the Great and female Epinephelus bruneus. He said he should call it 'Epinephelus bruneus' and recently succeeded in farming in Jeju Island.
Kim Ji-min said, "The merchant may not know" about Jeju Sawed perch, and "there is not much information." "It can happen by ignorance rather than the intention of the above statement," he said. "The price is not cheap."
Meanwhile, Hometown Flex ' is a hardcore local variety that Seoul village Cha Tae Hyun and Lee Seung-gi know their memories in the hometown of local legends. It airs every Sunday at 10:50 p.m.
