You can read about this on Allkpop or Soompi
Short story: one of fancams from Lombok trip captured WGM staff holding paper with written “Let’s try coconut”. Some viewers got dissapointed, some got happy.
EunJung answered to this in her Twitter:
Transaltion by @diademtweets:
- Since coconuts are one of the natural delicacies and considered to be the pride and joy of that country~^^ I think they prepared it for us because they thought it’d be good to mention it* The times they’ve shown us written directions on a sketchbook don’t even amount to as much as 3 times, although there is a planned outline of things there’s no script, they always tell us ‘today you’re going to do this and play’, that’s all..ㅋㅋ
- The same for ‘Hug me♪♩♪’….. I heard the song once and fell in love with the lyrics.. so I thought about how I wanted to sing it out loud in the open, it suddenly came to mind then ㅋㅋㅋ 10cm oppas, I hope.. you’ll enjoy it while watching We Got Married..eukyakyakyakyakya ♥ (Suddenly the topic has been shifted towards this direction……?ㅋㅋ
And remember JangWoo’s interview, how he said that in WGM it’s 20% of script and 80% of his real self.
T-ara’s Eunjung Denies Rumors of WGM Following a Script
Earlier today, photos indicating MBC “We Got Married” following a script were posted online. It showed a staff member of WGM holding a sign that read, “Let’s try the coconuts,” in front of the Eunjung-Lee Jang Woo couple, hinting that the show is usually scripted and the actions on the show are not truly candid. The photos have caused quite a commotion among loyal WGM fans who were disappointed to discover some of the actions on the show were not natural, and rather scripted in advance.
In response to the allegations, however, T-ara’s Eunjung, who currently stars as a couple with Lee Jang Woo, tweeted, “Coconut is something that country is famous for. I think the staff member thought it would be good to expose it more on the show.”
She continued, “They write things up on a cardboard less than three times on a regular show. We’re usually given the basic framework but there’s no script. They just tell us, ‘Today, you’re going to play doing this,’ and nothing else, kekeke.”
Netizens who saw the tweet commented, “Well, I guess most variety shows follow a script,” “Eunjung makes sense, too,” and “I’m still going to the watch the show anyway.”

T-ara’s Eunjung explains, “We Got Married does not have a planned scenario”
Regarding the latest issue of MBC’s We Got Married having a planned scenario, T-ara’s Eunjung gave an explanation in a cute manner.
On March 12, Eunjung tweeted, “Because the country was famous for its natural coconuts juice and proud of it~ I believe that’s why they prepared the fruits to be exposed on TV.
Sometimes staff writes down something on sketchbook for me to say, but it does not exceed three times. The program has an overall frame, but it doesn’t provide any script. They simply tell me, ‘We’re going to hang out doing such and such today,’ and nothing else.” Her tweet clarified that We Got Married is not run with a planned scenario.
Before her tweet, some pictures of the couple Lee Jang Woo and Eunjung shooting We Got Married in Indonesia were posted online. Because a person who appeared to be a scriptwriter was spotted holding a sign which reads “Let’s have some coconuts,” netizens questioned whether the show was based on an already-written scenario.
Eunjung added another tweet, “About the song ‘Hug Me’… When I heard the song, I immediately fell in love with its lyrics.. So I thought about singing it for him, and one day, it suddenly struck me. I hope 10cm oppas will like it when they see it on We Got Married.. Hopefully.. Hahaha (The story’s developing in a strange way..?)” Through this tweet, she indirectly showed that her affection for Lee Jang Woo is still valid.
Netizens who saw Eunjungs’ tweets commented: “The way you explain it is adorable, unnie.” “I’ll believe you that the show only has an overall frame.” “Right? People should never judge something by simply looking at one side.” “I believe you cuz I’m your fan.” “Lee Jang Woo and Eunjung, you guys make such a cute couple.” “Sing ‘Hug Me’ on broadcast sometime~!!”

Thanks to woojung fan for the tip! :
WGM Producer Thanks Fans for Script Accusations
The main producer of MBC “We Got Married” spoke with local media to address the recent script allegations. The popular reality show was hit by rumors of following a script, instead of being made out of candid actions,after photos of a staff member holding a cardboard that read, “Let’s try the coconuts,” in front of T-ara’s Eunjung and Lee Jang Woo were revealed.
On March 12, the main producer Kim Joon Hyun spoke with Sports Chosun and said, “There are no scripts for the cast members. The staff members get the basic synopsis, but the cast members don’t get to read it in advance. They don’t have a script, and that’s why they actually have to use a cardboard on the set.”
“At the time, we were walking down a beautiful trail and Eunjung wanted to try the coconut. So we promised to have it on our way back up, but because there were so many people, the couple totally forgot about it. So in order to remind them of the coconut, our staff member used the cardboard,” he added.
“In fact, there are no variety shows that don’t use cardboards while recording. For ‘We Got Married,’ it’s a reality show, so we can’t really get involved directly. We use the cardboard once in a while, but that happens only very few times. Also, in a lot of cases, the cast members miss the sign or don’t even mention it on the show,” he continued.
The producer actually said he’s thankful for all the attention and he takes it as a positive sign. “I think it’s actually a good sign that so many people are interested in our show. And if anybody can find a writer who can come up with the script for any of our ‘We Got Married’ episodes, I’ll gladly sign that person for over a million dollars,” he said.

anybody please translate ham eunjung on her tweets, please help…
no matter what i still love them as a real couple, they are too real for me
i am really touched that Eunjung explained this rumour by herself with her tweet. As i know, it’s the first time that Eunjung mentions things about WGM in her tweets. No matter WooJung is a real couple or not at present. She’s already proved that she is really care about WGM, care about Jangwoo. lol
love the fact that she wanted to clarify the controversy on her own as soon as she knew about it <3 anyway so what if there is a little script for them. Isn't it very unorganised if they can do/go whatever they want?
i love the fact that she tweeted 2 times with an interval of just a couple of minutes lol..im so keen to know what she tweeted..why is she becoming a little defensive with regards of wgm being real or scripted kekeke..Anyway, scripted or what—–> my LOVE and SUPPORT for this couple will never change
I think the mission has to be script (of course) but the lines aren’t.
yes the sequence..what to do next….but not the conversation,right…
hhmmm Eunjung said that there isn’t script between them, so that means that the affection they’ve show during WGM shooting is a real too? well this sounds like want to say that their relationship is also true.. its to obvious.. and plus the fact that there aren’t objections from their agency.. well for me this is official announce they are dating!!
is the translation??its a good news..then why yuoi sad?!
lol, this is good news, it’s just my own bugs, that’s why I write em on twitter .___.
Lol tell us something we don’t know =.= why should fans be that naive? Why were they be disappointed in the first place? I mean of course they’re gonna tell them about their plans, of course they’re gonna script what to do next~!! Honestly, it’s stupid to make news telling people WGM is scripted ㅡ.ㅡ but you know what I find too sweet about this? Is that Eunjung actually bothered to explain ^^ if her relationship with Jangwoo was fake then she wouldn’t give a fuck about explaining; “so what if people think it’ scripted? We’re fake in the first place and we’re leaving the show anyway” something like that, But no, she actually cares~! She wants to tell us, fans, they’re real
Wohoo! An obsessed fan’s interpreting of the whole thingy ^^ they’re surely in love hehehe♡
love ur comment! absolutely rite. and the netizen and allkpop and reporters are very lame. all the shows have script writer. the script writer and pd will plan and think about the recording. then, if no script at all, they just need cameramen rite. and ofcourse not 100% script. if it is 100% they will take days to shot an episode. like a drama. the script is more to briefing on how the shooting will go on..
and Eunjung really bothered by the fact people assume they are fake!!wow and she respond rite away through her personal twitter! awesome
Poor Stonedoli
Got famous more than she want. lol
btw she reply EJ Anajwoyo tweet. with the same aegyo effect.
Well, she know more than we do.
But we do know to they’re in love. and DATING. hurrayyy
for Icon dating are doing not in the same way as we do.
Soyeon definition of dating with real bf is to have romantic online chat
So EJ got pretty lucky to have date in some of the most beautifull place.
I bet JW personally choose the winter vacation spot just like he did in EJ birthday. Or the on screen kiss in ZIA. LOL
yes, i think at the back of WGM their really,really,really DATING. HORRAYYYYY
I kind of like that Eunjung responded, seeing as she never really talks about WGM~ It means more coming from her (and Jangwoo in the past) than it would coming from MBC. I like that this rattled her up enough to respond so quickly and directly
(Makes you want to scream from the rooftop: WOOJUNGISREALLLL! lol *fangirling*)
Also, netizen are more effed up in the head than I thought if they actually believed WGM (or almost any other Korean variety show) was 100% unscripted. :/
ok, this just my imagination, reporters deliberately writing this news, maybe they are also woojung fans, lol, wondering if they are fake or real, waiting for reaction from both of this couples and unexpectedly eunjung direct quickly react to this news that they are no script , that all is real.
Yaahhh Eunjung-ahhh you just get stuck. without realizing you just confirm that your relationship with JW is real..
How nice of Eun Jung to quickly comment on the situation.She really does care about WGM and specially Jang Woo. It’s also great to know that she even explained to everyone that what they do is not scripted, knowing Eun Jung is a very honest person this means what they feel,show and say to each other is all real..Just waiting for their PD’s to announce that they are really in a relationship..I hope we can also know what’s Jang Woo’s reaction about the incident..WooJung Forever…. Fighting!!!!
Ugh. People are starting to hate on Eunjung and call her a liar! Are you kidding me?!
I feel like netizen are just trolling her now and international kpop fans are just taking the chance the bash her.
I love that she defended Woojung, but I hate that people are turning her words against her. Urgh. The life of a kpop stan… I’m glad she’s a strong person. I know she’ll just brush this off and keep rocking <3
bcoz apparently people just like to think that WGM is all scripted and fake so they could think that their biases are not feeling anything starring in this sort of shows.
they dont understand that if it would be like this then every single idol participated in WGM is so damn talented actor, lol.
I’m loling at their reaction because if they would watch fancam which these captures are from they would see that WooJung are really trying coconut but with pretty long conversation with all people (coconut seller, translator, moms) around them, so it would be so hard to script and follow it for everyone.
EunJung is known for her honesty, so people who call her liar just making fun of themselves
lol I read the comments~ they’re calling her a liar but whatsoever; everyone already knows how honest Eunjung is~ as a fan I wasn’t even offended…I’m used to this now~ you read those comments at allkpop, didn’t you? well, everyone also knows that akp’s comment section is as trashy as hell, full of trolls and kids~ just be happy and don’t mind those
even if it were all scripted, we got married had never pretend to be real copuples. Is different if we suspect for example that one couple could be real, and we don´t asure they are real, but there are some acts that demostrate when somebody feels good when is with the other person and you can see if they feel comftable, is easy to see. And Eunjung is a person who´s action are very impulsive sometimes, rections such as laughs, smiles, looks, gestures, that not scripted. You can see it for example watching T-ara special programs, her expresions, gestures and reactions are HER way of expresion is imposible that it could be scripted the same at MBC, KBS, or SBS come on.
I didn´t expect it to be completelly free, i think is obvious that MBC propouse the topics of the program, is so silly to think it is completelly real , come on is TV, but is not a drama.
i read the comments on akpop too…cant believe that people are calling eunjung a liar for saying that its not scripted. yes its ‘scripted’ in that a brief activity outline will be given to the couple – ‘today you will go to the beach’ – but i’m sure its not ‘scripted’ in that their lines are all pre-written. i guess people need to understand what ‘scripted’ means in this context.
i mean..its a tv show for goodness sake, of course there will be a general rundown of activities – but once they’re given the general framework, the couple themselves decide how to interact with each other….
now even the PD has come out to clarify all the so called ‘controversy’..come on netizens..
http://www.soompi.com/news/wgm-producer-thanks-fans-for-script-allegations
well maybe the rating increase this weekend =)
I’m a fan from Mexico city. Sorry for the long comment
1) For the administrators, I express my admiration for your work, is wonderful. thank you very much
2) The wonderful work in its various facets Eunjung captivated me and wanted to know more about her and knew WGM and now also admire Jangwoo. Just for the fun times we’ve been seeing them, the program is worthwhile scripted or not. Just as you expect them to be a couple in real life.
3) I do not understand the level of aggression that has been reached by this, they do not deserve it because in the end have done an outstanding job, as we say “hopefully be real.” They have many values as people, are good children and friends. Both show a genuine interest in the other, that is called love and it can not be forced. I hope they do not suffer for this.
I haven’t been here for this entire business so I’m not going to weigh in on this whole debate … but I just want to say that korea.com have got some weird reporting skills. They’re a legitimate news reporting site and yet they use words like ‘cuz’ in their articles >.< … I just lol.
(oh gosh, my first comment in ages and I'm trolling on our blog!)
p.s. yuoi ILU, and I'm sorry, I tweeted you.
how sweet she even explained the song…showing sincerity towards jang woo
i love when eunjung reply back … this mean that eunjung concern and alert what going on around her n her hubby in wgm… anyway all program or reality show have their own way based on basic line script to make sure the show going smooth…n earlier show jangwoo also mention that wgm is based 80% herself n 20% script.. so netizen… please do the homework before do something stupid…
why suffer all EJ. she explained that she really love JW. she is a very responsible choice. I love you EJ and I am forever a fan of her.
she’s not a lie.
the reactions of allkpop netizens are so ridiculous….what EJ did has already shown how real the show is
I know Jang Woo is such a low profile person,
but come on….
Stand for u’r self once…You’re a man, don’t let u’r wife do all the defence
Stand for her man.
U want u’r banura to post u’r gift in SNS while where’s u’r SNS??
do you think he knows that on some international web-site few retarded people called EunJung like this? and he should create SNS only to explain this all? >___<
MBC and WGM, who should explain themselves in the first place.
Ooo he know.
yuoi do u remember when EJ tweet about start missing someone and wonder if that someone looking up her news on the net back in September?
Also when he knew that no news about his b’day gift.
LOL i got 4 thumbs down for this comment..
btw look at how EJ reply cocoerin tweet. sweet
we’re talking about allkpop. and I highly doubt that EunJung and JangWoo read allkpop comments. I never heard that EunJung was criticized for these tweets in Korea.
yes, apparently he reads her Twitter and news about her, but I repeat, there was no negative response to Eunjung’s statements. so I dont see why he should stand for himself and defense EunJung or himself
Oops my mistake then..lol
So this fuzz cause by int’l base web, not by korean based web. I see..
pardon my ignorance, but what’s SNS? like tweet in twitter?
“Social networking service” – web-sites like Twitter, Facebook, me2day etc.
oh..an acronym. hehehe thanks thanks for the info
So what do you want? he calling all the reporters and do press conference about this since we all know that he does not have twitter (like ej) or fb?? -_____-”!!
I would love that cause it will lead to one point only.. open wide declaration that they are dating out side the show.
Isn’t that what we all waiting for??
ya, that is what we all waiting for, but if they declare the relationship now, there are no surprise again WGM. I love every moment of woojung couple. SURPRISE moment in every episodes.
I was just wondering maybe or not that WGM is using this topic to gain some rating??? Co’z if I’m not mistaken the photo was taken few days ago how come just today or yesterday they notice the issue???
it dosn’t matter I love this couple no matter what……
I don’t know how it’ll be with WGM, but in Korea bad news doesnt always equal to good ratings (at least it never helped to Spy Myung Wol or 1n2d, or even coming back from the strike didn’t help WGM either). the other thing I hope it didn’t become that “hot” topic. I hope majority of WGM fans in Korea knew that WGM isn’t fully spontaneous show O___O (still in shock that news like this became such a big discussion)
do you think eunjung know that the international fan call her a lier? sigh! why blame her?it’s not her fault.Eunjung fighting! i’m sure you are strong and tough and not afraid to face a problem. thats way i like you and jangwoo love you
why in order to tell EJ that she is a liar. Her mind is alone where.
in some episodes EJ and JW occasionally get pieces of paper, pieces of paper that is the offer they have to do and where to go from WGM. I think that the script is just like that.
and JW said before WGM 20% is nothing scenario.
, SHE IS A GOOD PERSON. I believe she
your comment in your language deleted, we cant moderate comments we dont understand
if there’s really a script,.it will take much time and they have to memorize it and do some stuff like actors do in a film or drama,.but the real thing is they have genuine acts and we could easily identify the acting between soap operas and reality shows,..in reality shows,people show and say what they want to say or we should say ‘freedom’..so in that case,.i don’t believe that WGM is scripted anyway….because i’m addicted to woojung couple so much,.. i have to defend them from the hate.
They said it’s scripted because of that ‘coconut thing’,.i don’t think so,.i believe they only wrote that to have a plan when they are going to do or what places they are heading but i believe their feelings and actions are genuine,.because they are so sweet and cute and also they have been seeing together for a long time on that show so the moments are real,.FIGHTING!,MOLKANG MOLKANG!!!
