Liar Game
In a later interview, it was said by The Genius' Main Producer (Jung Jong-yeon) that the concept of the show was merely inspired by Liar Game, quoting "(it was) reference, and not plagiarism" upon being stated of plagiarizing Liar Game. It has also been further mentioned by The Genius' Main Producer that "All the games were designed ourselves (our production crew). We have never plagiarized anything (from the Liar Game) so far.", further denying the controversies raised. No further details were disclosed with the accusations of the Zombie Game. The fans of the Liar Game were not happy with this response and are currently still demanding an apology.
