Recently, the YouTube channel 'Chonjang Entertainment TV' uploaded previously unseen footage from Season 31. In the clip, Oksun is seen waiting for a conversation between Kyungsoo and Youngsook to end, telling Sunja, "Is this a documentary? Why does it feel like a funeral? Smile a bit." Sunja laughed it off, but Oksun followed up with, "Are you jealous?" to which Sunja replied, "Of course, I am jealous."
Oksun then stated, "Love is something you have to seize," to which Sunja retorted, "I am seizing it," prompting Oksun to respond, "Look at that confidence." This scene quickly spread across various communities and social media following the broadcast.
Earlier in the main broadcast, a scene featuring Youngsook, Oksun, and Jeonghee talking in front of Sunja had already sparked what is referred to as the 'behind-the-scenes controversy.' With the release of the unreleased footage, some viewers expressed concerns that the pressure on a particular contestant had become excessive. As a result, the footage was taken down just two days after its release.
As the controversy grew, an anonymous post appeared on a workplace community titled 'Reason for Editing Posted on Nasol Gallery.' The author, identified as A, claimed, "The date shown in the preview was ultimately a super date, and Kyungsoo chose Youngsook in the end," adding that Youngsook returned to the lodging and told Oksun and Jeonghee, "We did well; I am the final choice."
A further explained that Sunja's response of "I know what you're going to say" before Kyungsoo arrived was also due to this context, suggesting that Sunja was being unfairly pressured. The author speculated that the footage was removed to prevent further controversy if it aired as is.
The post mentioned final couples including Yeongho and Oksun, Yeongsik and Jeonghee, and Kyungsoo and Youngsook. However, these claims were based on speculation circulating online before the broadcast, and the actual results remain unverified.
In response to the post, netizens commented, "If the PD of Nasol is as I know, they might just go ahead with it," and "Past contestants have said that the PD edits out the real villains, leaving the less significant ones to take the heat." Others remarked, "Kyungsoo really can't read people. Didn't he notice Youngsook's attitude?" and "Wow, if this is true..."
