Controversies

On August 19 2008, We Got Married was accused of plagiarism by a Korean media, stating that the basic concept and format of the show are somewhat similar to a Japanese variety called Koisuru Hanikami by TBS (Japan) in 2006. The PD has denied these allegations, saying they had not watched the Japanese show at all.
