In February 2021 while the show was still being recorded, Pluma shared to his close friends list on Instagram that he was going to be on a song with Jay Park which one of his friends screenshotted and posted to on online forum, revealing that Min-jae was on Jay Park's team. As giving any spoilers to the show is prohibited, it is believed that the "evil" editing of episode 6 was in response to his violation of the rule. After the episode was broadcast, Pluma received various hate messages and threats on his Instagram account, which led him to disable his comments.[7] [7]
