The production team strictly followed the recording guidelines to protect the members of the minor cast during filming. We worked closely with the guardians to decide customs and styling and the time of practice was limited to a maximum of 35 hours during the recording weeks.

During the shooting late on weekdays, we have adapted the program to avoid conflicts with the learning rights of students and ensure that there have been no excessive and unreasonable programs for primary and secondary school students. “
