[+4,400] The entire nation is aware of how hard the Attrakt former CEO worked for these girls. There is an overflow of evidence of the traitorous acts of the idols and Ahn Sung Il... For 'Unanswered Questions' to have reported on this matter the way they did even while knowing all of the evidence that exists and failing to report that too.. they need to be taken off air.
[+3,000] Please support Jun Hong Joon CEO-nim. He's suffered from rock bottom all the way here, and we need to show him enough support so that his efforts are justified. Please join in our efforts to protest 'Unanswered Questions' into being taken off air. They've already become one of the most hated TV programs now.
[+1,900] Former CEO-nim, find strength. So many are supporting you.
[+2,100] They did not "apologize." They said, "We apologize to the many staff who work on site in K-Pop and the fans of K-Pop for hurting their feelings. We are adamant that we never meant to take any one side." They refuse to take accountability for their broadcast. This is not an apology at all. Us viewers refuse to dance to your play on words. If you go back to their viewer boards, they've angered even more people by their fake apology.
[+2,200] Failure to fact check, biased reporting, clear display of false information... the intent is obvious here. Their broadcast channel should impose penalties on them to the point where they're never able to air again. People can die over falsely reported programs like this. This is a clear attempt of murder, and the penalty should match that.
[+217] It's quite tragic that a public broadcast program has less journalistic integrity than even the likes of gossip magazines or Dispatch
[+202] The show just needs to be taken off air. We've already lost our trust in them. "We are adamant that we never took any one side"?? You think we're dumb?
[+858] The program just brought to light how shockingly corrupt our country's media is. How can us viewers ever trust this program again?
[+968] There was a clear biased intent of the episode... so many foreign "experts" were interviewed instead of the many, many well-known and famous industry experts that already exist within our own country. It's clear these experts were chosen by The Givers, so how can you call this an unbiased episode?
[+569] If you acknowledge that you were in the wrong, then you need to disable reruns and delete all related YouTube videos. You need to take all of the criticisms that viewers are lodging, fact-check them, and fix your biased reporting.
[+689] "Unlike our intentions" and what were your intentions? Justice? Fairness? How can you produce such a biased episode and blame viewers for interpreting it differently from your intentions? Sounds more like you're just mad that the public isn't falling for your scheme ㅋ
[+1,600] I guess the main point of this is that the PD is admitting that he put out an episode of false information
