SBS variety show 'AGJ' is under fire for being 'uncultured' after featuring scenes playing with food and excessive slapstick comedy.

In the episode of 'AGJ' released on the 2nd, Seo Janghoon appeared as a guest while the members participated in 'Early Morning Basketball Team Test.'

The controversial scene occurred during a game called 'Mayonnaise Bread Shooting.' In the game, the members had to open mayonnaise bottles placed on the floor using their buttocks to squeeze the contents out, and then try to knock over slices of bread placed at a distance using the shooting mayonnaise.

Notably, Lee Suji pointed to her buttocks and said, "My nickname is the Korean Kim Kardashian," before shaking them toward the camera. The scene showed her sitting hard on the mayonnaise to shoot the content out and knock over the bread.

After the broadcast, criticism poured in online. Some comments expressed discomfort, including, "Why play around with food like that?", "I thought I was watching a low-quality Japanese show," "That is disgusting. Are the producers perverts?", "This is embarrassing to watch on public TV," and "Are they relying on provocative setups just for ratings?"

In particular, many pointed out that using food for slapstick was going too far. Even if it was meant to be funny, viewers felt uncomfortable to see food being played around like that.

As viewers continue to argue that 'even comedy should have limits,' the debate over the show continues.

COMMENTS:

1. [+698][-27] Ugh, look at the quality.. So uncultured.

2. [+556][-25] Ugh, this makes me want to throw up.

3. [+416][-21] A copy of Japanese shows.

4. [+39][-2] These days variety show PDs really seem to be taking the easy way out. Maybe it's because all the creative ones left for Netflix.. Dramas are the same too. They just take web novels or webtoons and simply adapt them into dramas without any original ideas.

5. [+37][-7] Please kick Lee Sangmin and Tak Jaehoon out.
