– Broadcaster Kim Eo-joon aimed at the power of the people who accused him of violating the Public Office Election Act to the prosecution and claimed, “The campaign is just an excuse,” and “It is actually scared and threatening to shut up.” Regarding the problematic campaign video, he said, “There is no way to become one million subscribers with such a campaign,” and said that he initially showed a negative position on the campaign.
On the 5th, the Special Committee on Power of the People accused the host of violating the Public Official Election Act in relation to the video of the campaign that TBS started to achieve 1 million subscribers to the YouTube channel. It also announced that the abolition of’Kim Eo-jun’s News Factory’ would be included in the election pledge.
In response to this, Mr. Kim said at TBS Radio’Kim Eo-Jun’s News Factory’ on the morning of the 11th, “Since the by-election season begins, several pledges appear. One of them is’Going out of the news factory’.” He said, “I used the campaign video to achieve 10,000 subscribers and accused me of violating the election law for public office.”
“Let’s do 1″ in’Let’s do Plus 1′, which made the campaign to make one more subscribed, reminds us of the Democratic Party sign No. 1, the logic of a pre-election campaign,” he said, “a very novel imagination.”
At the same time, Mr. Kim emphasized, “I said that this campaign was difficult to succeed at the time the campaign was recorded, and that there is no way to have 1 million subscribers with such a campaign.” “The content was included at the end of the actual video.”
“If it really means number 1 as interpreted by the people’s power, it means that I could not be number 1,” he argued. “There is no reason to accuse me if you follow their interpretation.”
He added, “I may be expelled from the market because I’m low on my level and my senses are weak, but that wouldn’t be the case if I shut up and get scared that certain political forces don’t like them.”
In order to encourage the achievement of 1 million YouTube subscribers, TBS started from November 16 last year, and from November 16, the program hosts such as Kim Eo-jun and Joo Jin-woo and actor Kim Gyu-ri appeared and subscribed, saying, “You have to work (1),” A campaign video containing remarks encouraging people was sent out.
Afterwards, a suspicion was raised, centering on the opposition party, that “TBS conducted a pre-election campaign ahead of the by-election.” It is argued that the number ‘1’ in mint color reminds the blue of the Democratic Party and’symbol number 1′. On the 4th of the controversy, TBS announced on the 4th that, “Ahead of the by-election, we have received some points that may cause unnecessary misunderstandings and will stop the campaign today.”
On the other hand, the Central Election Commission on the 8th said, “It is difficult to see it as a violation of the Public Official Election Act.”
