After the broadcast, 'Salim Nam 2' viewers commented on the bulletin board and the KBS Viewer's Center viewer petition bulletin board, stating that exposing middle school students undergoing circumcision to the broadcast could constitute child abuse.
Some viewers have filed complaints with the Korea Communications Standards Commission (hereinafter referred to as the Korea Communications Standards Commission) regarding the broadcast of 'Salim Nam 2'.
Earlier, in August 2020, TV Chosun's 'Taste of Wife' broadcasted teenage singer Jeong Dong-won visiting a hospital to identify her secondary sexual characteristics, and was criticized for broadcasting.
