On October 4, the Studio Slam YouTube channel released a behind-the-scenes commentary video titled “The Key Behind-the-Scenes Moments You Might Have Missed.” The clip featured the cast of Netflix’s Crime Scene Zero alongside producer Yoon Hyun-joon, as they discussed how the show came to be.
During the talk, one question stood out: “Is it true that because Culinary Class Wars was a huge success, Netflix decided to produce Crime Scene?”
Yoon PD laughed and quickly denied the rumor, explaining: “That’s not true. We had already promised to make Crime Scene before Culinary Class Wars was even released.”
He added that Netflix had approached him in advance with the idea of reviving the Crime Scene series, clarifying that “the timeline doesn’t even match.”
Comedian Jang Dong-min, who was also present, couldn’t help but laugh at the revelation, saying, “Really? I’ve been telling everyone that Culinary Class Wars was so successful that Netflix picked up Crime Scene!” — drawing laughter from the entire cast.
Yoon PD humorously responded, “Please don’t spread that rumor anymore. It’s not true, and even the timing makes no sense!”
Crime Scene Zero is the long-awaited reboot of JTBC’s legendary mystery variety series Crime Scene, which originally aired from 2014 to 2017. Known for its clever storytelling and deduction-based format, the franchise has gained cult popularity, with fans calling it “Korea’s best mystery entertainment show.”
Meanwhile, Culinary Class Wars became one of YouTube’s most-watched Korean variety programs of 2024, praised for its unpredictable humor and intense cooking challenges.
Despite fan speculation linking the two shows, Yoon Hyun-joon’s clarification confirms that both projects were developed independently — each thriving on its own creative merit.
