"Drinking show" that went too far...I'm getting a brake on reckless drinking and beautification. [Anchor Report]

Recently, "Drinking Room" has emerged as a content where you can see the unadorned daily lives of celebrities.

It shows a friendly appearance to viewers and receives good reviews.

At the same time, however, concerns have been raised over the positive description of drinking.

In fact, for this reason, one program was subject to statutory sanctions by the Korea Communications Standards Commission.

This is because the cast repeatedly showed scenes of them drinking alcohol.

The Korea Communications Standards Commission pointed out that drinking was glorified by broadcasting subtitles such as "Kang Soju," "Happiness Full of Cups," and "A refreshing feeling that hits the Adam's apple" along with drinking scenes.

Alcohol eating is not just a problem for terrestrial programs.

You can easily watch 'drinking broadcasts' on YouTube, which is less regulated than terrestrial broadcasts.

The "drinking room" trend continues as a program with the concept of drunken truth, in which celebrities drink and share their honest stories, has gained popularity.

However, the guidelines for media drinking scenes were revised last year as criticism grew that such a "drinking room" excessively encouraged drinking.

It is about adding age restrictions or warning signs.

However, YouTube and OTT are still in a legal blind spot because there is no coercion.

For this reason, there are also growing calls to put a brake on indiscriminate drinking and beautification through active regulations.

It's good to show your natural appearance, but sometimes drinking alcohol can have an adverse effect on adolescents.

In addition, efforts to gradually change the drinking culture in the media, which is treated relatively generously, are expected to follow.
