KBS's position on the adoption of witnesses for KBS president candidates' personnel hearings, etc.

2024-11-12 21:41:05

The National Assembly's Science, Technology, Information, Broadcasting and Communications Committee (hereinafter referred to as the 'National Assembly') selected a large number of management and executives, including KBS President Park Min and the head of the news department, as witnesses at the personnel hearing for KBS President candidate Park Jang-beom to be held on November 19.

It is undesirable for the National Assembly Standing Committee to adopt public broadcasting executives and executives as witnesses as it sets a bad precedent that undermines the political independence and neutrality of public broadcasting.

The KBS announced that it had adopted President Park Min as a witness to inquire about the KBS President selection process, but the KBS President selection process was entirely managed by the KBS Board of Directors.

President Park Min was one of the candidates at the time and was not involved in the selection process or results at all, and cannot provide any answers in this regard, making it difficult to accept his adoption as a witness.
