A user of the X platform (former Twitter) denounced bad working conditions behind the scenes of ‘life gives you tangerines’.

However, when questioned, one of the responsible reacted disrespectfully.

According to the reports, some were forced to shave their heads without notice and prohibited from wearing thermal clothes under the costumes, even during the winter.
