On the 27th of last month, KBS presented a plan to increase the license fee to the board of directors. It was an attempt in seven years since it was submitted to the National Assembly in 2014 and it was destroyed. KBS president Yang Seung-dong emphasized in his New Year’s address on the 4th of last month that “realization of subscription fees is our longing and the path we must go to.”
However, unfortunately, as soon as I put up my impressions, bad news broke out one after another.
KBS Labor Union (Union 1) revealed that as a result of surveying announcer Kim Mo, the host of KBS1 Radio’s’Weekend 14:00 News’ on the 1st, it has confirmed more than 20 additional cases that were broadcast arbitrarily or arbitrarily from October to December last year.
According to this, the importance of the’Top Knight’, which was deployed in the’North Korea today’s early morning fever ceremony,’ or’Prosecutor, Kang Ki-jeong, former Blue House chief GPS record secured… Investigation of Lime Kim Bong-hyun’, etc., was deleted by itself. He also arbitrarily put in a sentence that was not in the original article, “(Chief of North Korean State Council Kim Jong-un) expressed his warm heart to his beloved South Koreans, and said he wished the day when the North and South could hold hands again.”
In addition, the controversy over billions of unemployed salaries that arose whenever the license fee hike was promoted increased. When Rep. Kim Woong (the power of the people) claimed that the percentage of annual salaries in the billions was 60% of all employees, KBS countered that “46%, not 60%.” However, in a situation where self-employed people are having difficulties as business closures and closures continue due to the Corona 19 incident, this response rather provoked criticism. In addition, it was fueled by the flames that a user who was identified as a KBS employee in an online community posted a post saying, “If you have an enviable salary, please join us.”

– KBS responded quickly by launching an appreciation for announcer Kim and officially apologizing for the posts posted on the community, but public opinion seems to be energized toward’impossible’. A director of KBS pointed out, “It is a very difficult problem to obtain public consent for a fee increase. To this end, we should have turned the hearts of the people by showing sufficient efforts for self-reliance such as restructuring, but it is being pushed too quickly.” “It is useless to put forth’self-effort’ only in abstract words. We need to show very concretely what measures have been taken to reduce KBS’s bloated size and spend its budget efficiently. Otherwise, it will not be easy to decide on the board of directors.” said.
Meanwhile, the opposition party, which has been opposed to the license fee hike, is raising momentum.
Congressman Park Seong-joong, a secretary to the opposition party of the National Assembly’s Science and Technology Information Broadcasting and Communications Committee, said, “It comes first to prepare self-rescue measures such as restructuring human resources and strengthening deliberations on biased broadcasting rather than raising the fee. It can never be uploaded without preemptive action.” In addition, he argued, “The license fee income of KBS has increased by 100 billion won over the past 10 years, but it is making fun of the people as if the license fee has not increased at all.”
According to Rep. Park, the KBS license fee was confirmed to be 679 billion 24 million won. This is an increase of 101.1 billion won from 577.8 billion won in 2011. By simple calculation, it has increased by 10 billion won every year. Congressman Park believes this is a result of the increase in households with TV sets due to the increase in single-person households.
