Recently, KBS responded to deleting the article related to Min Hee Jin after receiving the third petition from the audience.
Specifically, according to Kbizoom, on December 29, on the KBS Viewer Petition Board, KBS said: “As we explained before, after the video was uploaded to YouTube, additional information was added that was different from the original report. After considering various aspects, the decision to delete the post was made in accordance with broadcast production guidelines and internal procedures.”
The station also emphasized that KBS applies the same process to other news reports and is committed to maintaining objectivity and fairness in reporting on major social events.
Previously, a petition was submitted by Mr. Park, who had submitted two previous petitions asking KBS to explain the reason for deleting the article titled “Min Hee Jin’s side: ‘Trying to block NewJeans’ official statement’… HYBE responds: ‘Disappointed with Min’”.
Mr. Park argued that KBS should provide a clear and transparent reason for deleting this article.
In a previous response, KBS explained that the decision to delete the article was made after considering various aspects and following internal procedures.
However, this explanation did not convince Mr. Park and thousands of other social media users, leading to the filing of a third petition.
The deletion of the post has caused a lot of controversy in the online community, especially when the post mentioned one of the controversial figures in the current Korean entertainment industry, Min Hee Jin.
She is the former CEO of ADOR and the person behind the group NewJeans, who is facing multiple allegations related to the way the group was managed and operated, and the months-long conflict involving HYBE.
KBS affirmed that it will continue to fulfill its responsibility to objectively and fairly report on major social events, emphasizing that it will adjust or delete reports if necessary to ensure the accuracy and reliability of information.
