Launched in 2013 by MBC, 'I Live Alone' is an observational entertainment program that has lived long for more than 11 years, showing the lives of single celebrities, hobbies, playing alone, and hanging out. At first, only male performers were targeted, but women also joined as regulars, showing the lives of male and female unsung soloists, giving viewers a romance. Thanks to its popularity, it has also produced several winners of the Entertainment Awards, including Jeon Hyun-moo, Park Na-rae, and Gian84.

There are also some criticisms that it excessively beautifies the lives of single people as it is being held at the same time as ratings and buzzwords. In particular, as the issue of low birth rate and aging population emerged as a social problem, the younger generation was criticized for contributing to the trend of not getting married.

Na Kyung-won, a member of the People's Power who was vice chairman of the Low Fertility and Aging Society Committee under the presidency in 2022, said in a radio broadcast that `The policy should be changed so that people can feel happy to get married and have children, but it is time for all media, religious organizations, and social organizations to campaign together.' Last year, Seo Jeong-sook, a member of the People's Power Party, strongly criticized the party's floor meeting, saying that `I live alone' and infidelity, illegitimate children, and domestic destruction dramas are the cause of the low birth rate.'
