On August 15, the Liberation Day of Korea, the 'Korean Opera Festival Puccini Butterfly Part 1' was aired in the KBS relay seat.
As soon as Liberation Day began, viewers who listened to Kimigayo through public broadcasting and saw the characters wearing kimonos visited the KBS viewer counseling room's free bulletin board immediately after the broadcast and strongly criticized it.
In addition, KBS caused controversy by making a mistake in using the Taegeukgi graphic upside down on the morning of the Liberation Day.
KBS1's weather forecast, which aired just before the 79th Independence Day celebration, sparked another controversy as the shape of the Taegeukgi was inverted left and right in the graphic used by the weatherman while guiding the weather.
In the end, KBS hurriedly issued an official statement and apologized before the day was over.
KBS said, `We apologize for causing concern and disappointment to viewers in relation to the program 'KBS Broadcasting Seat', a performing arts recording broadcasting program.'
The opera 'Madame Butterfly' is an Italian composer Puccini's work, depicting the tragic love between an American officer and a Japanese woman stationed in Japan, and Kimigayo, the U.S. national anthem and Japanese national anthem, will be played in the wedding scene of the protagonist and the man and woman in the play. The performance was recorded on June 29 and was originally scheduled to air at the end of July, but it was pushed back by the Olympic broadcast, and it was broadcast at dawn on Liberation Day.
In addition, given the changed schedule, we deeply apologize once again for causing a stir on the meaningful Liberation Day due to the production team's negligence to check whether there are any problems with the broadcast content and whether the timeliness is appropriate"We will pay more attention to the production by investigating the broadcast details and holding them accountable in order to prevent this from happening again in the future.", he bowed his head.

KBS reported "Today's news program's weather section confirmed that there was a mistake in displaying the image of Taegeukgi and corrected it immediately."
The image of the Korean flag was then included in a part of the background screen at the weatherman appearance corner of '930 News this morning. However, there was a mistake in which the left and right sides of the Taegeukgi were reversed. It was the result of the producer reversing the picture of the Taegeukgi with a computer graphic program to match the scene where the figure was holding the Taegeukgi"KBS revised the image of the Taegeukgi as soon as it confirmed the problem, and the news website is also providing the revised video again. KBS sincerely apologizes for this mistake, and will do its best to produce it by paying close attention to the details so that such problems do not repeat in the future," he apologized.
