However, just after the video was uploaded the show already received hate from the audience, particularly from K-Netizens. It has been said that it was due to the changed subtitles, which gave inappropriate meaning to some Korean terms.

The three referred to a baby stroller with the Korean word "yumo-cha."

Later on, in the subtitles, the production team changed it to "yua-cha," which according to a source can be interpreted to have sexist connotations as "yumo," which refers to mothers or nannies.

On the other hand, "yua" is said to be more neutral as it means "baby" while "cha" simply means car or mobile unit.

It has been said that the original term reinforces the subconscious assumption that strollers would be pushed by women, ergo, babies/kids would be taken care of by the mothers.

Due to the change of subtitles, it became an issue among K-Netz, particularly men, and even demanded the editing team to change the translations.
