The cast of the upcoming KBS Joy show “Pick Me Trip in Bali” has unexpectedly been stranded in their filming location.
The production team of the new entertainment program was caught by Bali’s authorities for conducting so-called “stealth filming” without obtaining a filming permit.
“Pick Me Trip in Bali” entered Bali on April 21 and was scheduled to return home to South Korea on April 25. However, a problem emerged when it was revealed that the production crew filmed the show without obtaining advance permission and their return home was blocked.
Approximately 30 cast members - Girls’ Generation (SNSD) Hyoyeon (HYO), APINK Bomi, former I.O.I Im Nayoung, Secret Number Dita, and Choi Hee - as well as their staff are detained in Bali with their passports confiscated. They are currently staying in a hotel and are being investigated by Bali’s authorities. They are scheduled to return to Korea as early as next week after completing the investigation.
Cast members who had already arranged schedules in Korea are frantic to make last-minute emergency adjustments to their schedules.
One official complained "We are staying in Bali, but even the cast does not know the exact reason for their detention. It is frustrating that the production team is not sharing the circumstances of the situation." Another official said, "This situation is embarrassing." He said, “I think we will be able to understand the situation once all investigations are completed. We are working to return to Korea quickly.”
“Pick Me Trip in Bali” was preparing to be broadcast in May.
