The petition stated, “A host who forgot his role as an anchor of a public broadcasting station, such as expressing a luxury bag as a small pouch, and gave a conversation in which it was unclear whether he was an anchor or a secretary, is not qualified to be an anchor of a public broadcasting station. We urge him to step down.” Yes.

″On the morning of Lunar New Year, KBS rebroadcast the presidential promotional broadcast. The public was once once more forced into a promotional show that lacked any apology or sincerity. The people’s voices and questions are erased from this broadcast. The public is asking why they are blocking the special prosecution of Kim Kun-hee, which the public demands, why they are blocking the truth regarding the Special Act on the Itaewon Disaster and the Marine Corps’ death in the line of duty, and why there is no mention of the case of instigating the accusation, in which Yoon Seok-yeol and Han Dong-hoon are suspected to be the apex. What power should fear is public sentiment.″

On the other hand, KBS management issued a press release the day following the broadcast and stated, “President Yoon Seok-yeol’s KBS special talk recorded an audience rating of 8.7%, showing high interest from all over the country.”

He continued by saying, “It ranked first in the same time slot on all channels,” and added, “It is also significant in that it is the first time the President’s Office has been revealed through broadcasting since it was moved from the Blue House to Yongsan.”
