The Korea Communications Standards Commission will designate the program as an agenda for rapid deliberation at a general meeting on the 19th as 28 complaints were received on the broadcast of KBS 1TV 'KBS Broadcasting Seat' on the 15th.
If it is designated as an agenda for prompt deliberation, it will be deliberated in two weeks, and the Korea Communications Standards Commission is likely to impose heavy penalties beyond legal sanctions in accordance with the precedent.
An official of the Korea Communications Standards Commission said, "It was highly criticized by KBS, a public broadcaster, for broadcasting a program featuring Japan's national anthem on Liberation Day, and since many complaints have been received, it is a requirement that it can be designated as an agenda for prompt deliberation"It is expected that the members of the plenary session will agree to the prompt deliberation "
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.
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.

At the end of the broadcast of JTBC 'Newsroom' on the 16th, the anchor mentioned the report of BTS member Suga's drunk driving incident.
'Newsroom's side bowed its head, saying, `It was confirmed that the man in the video passing by the boulevard on an electric scooter was not Suga.' `We apologize for causing confusion.'
On the 7th, 'Newsroom' released CCTV footage on the 6th, saying that Suga drove an electric scooter while intoxicated in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The video has been criticized, saying that it turned out to be a lie that there was an accident in front of the house from Suga's apology.
Eventually, misinformation from 'Newsroom' was confirmed, and news videos released on various portal sites and official channels were deleted and closed to the public from the afternoon of the 14th. Since then, the CCTV part of the report video on the official website has also been replaced with a general road video unrelated to the incident.
