Trivia
- MC Kim was the only MC on X-Man, to have his team name written in Hanja (Chinese lettering) as opposed to the traditional Hangul. This may be because the Hangul for Kang and Kim are very close to one another (김 (Kim), 강 (Kang)).
- The original team names, Kang (강) and Yu (유), were actually meant in Hanja for "강 - 强" as in strong and "유 - 柔" as in tender, representing Kang Ho-dong and Yu Jae-seok respectively, but were disregarded once Kim Jae-dong became team leader.
- When identifying who is X-Man, if the suspect was X-Man, the screen read "Identical" (일치), if the suspect was not X-Man, it would read "Discordant" (불일치) and carbon dioxide would be sprayed in the form of an "X" in front of the suspect. Starting in Season 65, the Couple Event took place in a different set resembling a forest, the "finger-print ceremony" took place there as well, but lacking a screen, in which "Identical" would be represented by fireworks, and "Discordant" was still represented by "X" carbon dioxide.
- Originally, suspects were identified corresponding to the number of votes received, but after earlier seasons, after incorrectly identifying X-Man, he/she was simply revealed by MC Yu in order to save time.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
