‘Saddle in the Wind’ producer explains Im Jae Bum’s disappearance

During the last broadcast of MBC‘s ‘Sunday Night – Saddle in the Wind, singer Im Jae Bum disappeared during the recording. There was much controversy as to whether the situation was scripted, leading the production crew to come out and defend the show.

The producer of ‘Saddle in the Wind’ explained, “It doesn’t make sense that we would make him purposefully disappear. The disappearance was just the reality of the situation.”

On ‘Saddle in the Wind’, which was broadcast on October 9th, Im Jae Bum made a pitch mistake during a performance and suddenly disappeared. The episode displayed scenes of the other members while they searched for the missing Im Jae Bum.

Consequently, some of the viewers raised an eyebrow and thought the situation looked forced and scripted.
