During the trip, Jeon expressed a desire to have Kim as a grandson-in-law and openly admired his muscular physique, remarking, "Bigger than a woman," and "Looking at that makes me tremble." While many viewers interpreted these as lighthearted, comedic reactions typical of entertainment programming, a segment of the audience raised concerns.

They argued that even within the context of comedy, overly suggestive or objectifying humor based on physical characteristics can be uncomfortable for viewers, regardless of the gender dynamics involved.
