The broadcast will feature exclusive footage obtained by the production team from Chuncheon Prison, showing the mobile patrol team conducting surprise inspections of the inmate housing units to prevent unauthorized items from being smuggled in. The footage captures unexpected illegal items being discovered during these checks.
While watching the video, host Park Ha-sun expressed her disbelief, saying, “What are they doing in a place meant for reflection?” Kim Dong-hyun also commented, “It seems like the prison is too comfortable.”

A current correctional officer at Cheongju Women’s Prison stated, “False information about some inmates is spreading online,” and will clarify the truth behind the circulating rumors. This includes allegations that Jeon Cheong-jo has been making advances toward female inmates and claims that Go Yu-jeong is being ostracized within the prison.
The unexpected incidents occurring inside the prison, the reality behind the rumors surrounding Jeon Cheong-jo and Go Yu-jeong, and the hidden truths of South Korea's prison system will be revealed on 'Hidden Eye' at 8:30 p.m. on June 22.
