MBC drama "The Phone You Called Now"
KBS News, which has been complained of excessive exposure to certain red ginseng products, has been subject to court sanctions.
The Korea Communications Standards Commission (hereinafter referred to as the Korea Communications Standards Commission) held a general meeting at the Mok-dong Broadcasting Center in Seoul on the afternoon of the 23rd and voted for a 'warning' to KBS 2TV 'KBS News 6', which exposed the name of a specific red ginseng product.
The news received a complaint on September 4 last year that it exposed a specific product name by explaining red ginseng oil, including the results of a clinical trial for prostate hypertrophy patients.
In response, a KBS official said, "We stopped exposing the product immediately after recognizing the exposure of the product. It's a clear mistake," he explained.
Ryu Hee-rim, chairman of the committee, said, "It is inevitable that severe punishment is inevitable, such as asking what we did wrong, saying that we have never exposed the product name in the statement of opinion without checking the video."
In addition, the Korea Communications Standards Commission said in MBC's "MBC News Today Part 2," a scene in which a student hits another female student's head with his hands and feet, and drags her by holding her hair. He voted "caution" for showing some of the scenes that were caught and others blurred.
In addition, the MBC drama "The Phone You Called Now," which caused controversy over the caricature of the sign language, was given a measure to state the opinions of the officials.
In the first episode of the drama on the 22nd of last month, the heroine, a sign language interpreter, was delivering the news of a landslide, and the scene in which the anchor described it as finger swearing and smiled was broadcasted.
Since then, related organizations have issued a statement of protest, raising criticism that they have caricatured farmers and sign language. In response, the production team posted on the viewer's bulletin board on the 29th of last month, "We apologize for causing concern." We will make every effort to prevent the same mistake from being repeated," he officially apologized.
Kim Jung-soo, a member of the committee, said, "It is heartbreaking for a sign language interpreter to make an absurd expression in the drama."
Chairman Ryu pointed out, "The main means of communication among farmers is sign language, and no matter how much drama it is, it seems that the production team needs to pay attention to it as it is highly propagated."
They also decided to listen to the opinions of the KBS entertainment show "Animal Is Excellent," which has been complained of glorifying the owner of the Tangjewon, who slaughtered dogs for food for decades.
The Korea Communications Standards Commission's decision is divided into 'no problem', 'presenting opinions' and 'recommendations' in the administrative guidance stage, 'caution', 'warning', 'correction, correction, suspension, and disciplinary action of the program' and 'penalty'. From legal sanctions, it is the reason for deducting points for re-authorization and re-approval of broadcasters.
