The tragedy began on KBS1 'KBS Broadcasting Seat', which aired at midnight on the 15th. 'KBS Relay Seat' aired Giacomo Puccini's opera 'Madam Butterfly' set in Nagasaki, Japan, in the 1990s, when the United States forced Japan to open a port. The tragic romance between Fingerton, an American soldier, and Mrs. Butterfly, who became a geisha, features the heroine in a kimono from start to finish, and the Japanese national anthem is in the wedding scene The melody was inserted, causing controversy.
It was criticized as inappropriate for public broadcasting to send Japanese works on National Liberation Day. In response, KBS recorded the performance on June 29 and was scheduled to air at the end of July, but as it was pushed back by the Olympic broadcast, it was broadcasted at dawn on Liberation Day. Considering the changed schedule, I 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. To prevent this from happening again, we will pay more attention to the production by investigating the broadcast details and asking for reasonable responsibility", he apologized. In addition, the second part of 'Madame Butterfly', which was scheduled on the 16th, will be replaced with another performance broadcast.

In the end, KBS bowed its head again. KBS featured an image of the national flag on a part of its background screen during a segment featuring the weatherman \'930 News. However, there was a mistake in which the left and right sides of the Taegeukgi were reversed. The producer reversed the picture of the national flag with a computer graphic program to match the scene of the figure holding the national flag. "As soon as the problem was confirmed, the image of the national flag was corrected, and the news website is providing the revised video again." We sincerely apologize for this mistake, and we will do our best to produce it by paying close attention to preventing such problems from repeating in the future", he apologized.
