According to Article 42 of the Enforcement Decree of the Broadcasting Act, it is stipulated that reception fees be collected according to the number of receivers owned in cases other than residential-only houses, but Korea Broadcasting Corporation has collected more than this.

Rep. Kim Young-shik “In the case of business sites, the license fee is large and it is often added to the building management fee or electricity bill, so it is common for business owners to pay without checking properly.” said. “Through this separate collection of subscription fees, the blind collection method will be eradicated and the people’s choice and freedom will be guaranteed,” he said.
