Unlike most reality TV programs,^[6] contestants were paid for participating and winners did not receive prize money. Director Lee Eun Kyung told interviewers that her goal with the series was to highlight honor in public service: "The participants are public servants who have staked their professional honor on this competition. From the start, they didn't come to fight for money but for the honor." Each participant was paid equally, regardless of elimination.^{[7][unreliable source?][8]}
