The KBS Labor Union raised suspicion that announcer Kim, who conducted the news at 14:00 on the weekend of KBS Radio, has arbitrarily deleted or added more than 20 articles for two months from October to December last year. They analyzed that “the news of the prosecution’s investigation of key members of the Blue House, the trend of armed protests in North Korea, and news that contained concerns of the international community were rejected,” he analyzed.
On December 19 last year, Announcer Kim delivered the news of the assault of a taxi driver by Deputy Minister of Justice Lee Yong-gu, and received suspicion that he did not intentionally broadcast the suspicion of a “watching investigation” raised by opposition lawmakers. In response, KBS said, “If Announcer Kim reads it as the manuscript, it was determined that it would not be possible to broadcast the news related to Corona 19 beyond the broadcast time, so some of the news was corrected or omitted.”
There are three labor unions in KBS, and about 1,200 members of the KBS labor union (one union) that raised the suspicion this time have joined. It is distinguished from the KBS headquarters (two unions), a national media union that has the most members.
