Candidate Lee Dong-gwan, head of the Korea Communications Commission, said on the night of the 10th that YTN reported on the suspect in the Bundang weapon riot and exported his image on the ‘anchor bag’ (background screen during the anchor), “the Korea Communications Standards Commission filed a complaint. We will take all available responses, including civil and criminal complaints and accusations of defamation.” Candidate Lee’s side released a statement later that followingnoon, revealing this policy, saying, “Regarding the broadcast accident of defamation once morest the candidate, YTian’s side continues to make excuses, citing non-fulfillment of instructions between staff members, technical errors, and shift hours. Many broadcasting experts insisted that the accident lasting more than 10 seconds during the live broadcast was ‘not a mistake, but intentional’, and pointed out that it was a ‘previous broadcast accident’.” At the time when the entrance statement came out, at the end of the news, Ytien sent out an anchor saying, “I will apologize for the background screen gone wrong,” and on this day, he said, “I express my deep regret to Candidate Dong-gwan Lee.” This is following he said, “I plan to officially express my regret.” YTN said, “As a result of the internal investigation so far, it was identified as a simple mistake caused by poor communication between the PD and the technical staff in the news progress control room at the time, and it was confirmed that there was no intention at all.” We plan to hold a meeting to discuss the specific circumstances, responsibility, and preventive measures in the future. However, Candidate Lee said, “Before the candidate was nominated, Y Tien unilaterally reported an interview with a suspect with nefarious intentions in relation to the school violence case, and despite the explanation that ‘the money was returned and reported right away,’ it is as if the spouse made an improper solicitation. After being nominated, he continued to report misleadingly, as if he had purchased an apartment that he had held for 18 years for the purpose of speculation, and focused on ‘scratching the candidate’.” It appears to be in,” he claimed. On the morning of the same day, Candidate Lee also issued a statement saying, “It is not a responsible broadcaster’s attitude to pass over this accident as if it was a mistake and not a big deal.” On the way to the office of the preparatory team, he met with reporters and said, “It was an incident that clearly showed the current state of the Korean media.” Candidate Lee’s response is not only excessive, but also criticizes that the intention is questionable. Choi Jin-bong, a professor of journalism and broadcasting at Sungkonghoe University, said in a phone call with the Hankyoreh that day, “It is reasonable to see it as a mistake when judging by common sense, but Lee’s response to this extent is an inappropriate response as a candidate for public office.” As the personnel verification report continues, it is interpreted as an intention to secure their legitimacy through creating a frame in which each broadcaster resists the appointment of the head of the Korea Communications Commission in this way.” Koh Han-seok, head of the YTN branch of the National Press Labor Union, also said, “If this broadcasting accident is ‘intentional, not a mistake’, I would like to ask what kind of practical benefit YTN was trying to gain through this.” We can only see it as revealing the ‘true color of dominating broadcasting’ in itself to make a claim that there is an intention in this broadcast accident by weaving it.” Reporter Ahn Young-choon [email protected] Reporter Seong-jin Choi [email protected]
