''Four Helpers''

In January 2016, KBS threatened legal action against Shanghai Media Group for their show Four Helpers, claiming that the show plagiarized Hello Counselor's set design, format, voting and scoring system, and other aspects of the show. A statement issued by KBS stated that they had demanded the immediate termination of the show's broadcast on the grounds publication right infringement and that, if the broadcasts continued, they would involve the Chinese State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television and pursue legal action.
