Korea Communications Standards Commission warns JTBC of 'Sugar CCTV misinformation'

The Korea Communications Standards Commission has imposed court sanctions on the "JTBC Newsroom" for broadcasting incorrect CCTV footage in connection with BTS Sugar's drunk driving.

The Korea Communications Standards Commission held a general meeting this afternoon (7th) to discuss the level of sanctions after listening to JTBC's opinion statement and voted on the legal sanctions "caution".

Kang Kyung-pil pointed out that there seems to have been no confirmation at all, and Kim Jung-soo also said it was clearly wrong to report an unconfirmed person as Suga.

The Korea Communications Standards Commission also decided to recommend the administrative guidance for KBS, which aired the Japanese opera "Madame Butterfly" on Liberation Day.

Chairman Ryu Hee-rim told KBS that he would vote on administrative guidance but would come up with measures to prevent a recurrence to send a letter.
