The production team of Mr. Plankton has officially addressed the controversy circulating regarding their behavior while filming.

The media outlet revealed that the people behind the K-drama illegally dumped trash after filming on Jeju Island. There were also proof photos of the trash that was dumped by the production team of the series. 

According to the informant, Mr. Plankton's staff and crew threw water bottles, cigarette butts, food containers, and lots of papers with the information of the directors and the upcoming filming schedules of the series included.
