Earlier, on August 15, the Liberation Day, 'KBS Relay Seat' aired 'The First Part of the Korean Opera Festival Puccini Butterfly'.

'Madame Butterfly' is an opera composed by Giacomo Puccini that premiered in 1904 and is set in Nagasaki, Japan, in the 1990s, when the United States forced Japan to open a port. This work, which tells the story of an American soldier Fingerton and Mrs. Butterfly who became a geisha, is dark in Japanese style, with the female protagonist appearing in kimono from start to finish, and the Japanese Kimi song melody is inserted in the wedding scene. Upon Liberation Day, viewers who listened to Kimigayo through public broadcasting and saw the characters wearing kimono visited the KBS viewer counseling room's free bulletin board immediately after the broadcast and strongly protested.

KBS issued an official statement and apologized before the day had passed.

KBS said on the 15th that it apologizes for causing concern and disappointment to viewers in relation to the program 'KBS Broadcasting Seat', a performing arts recording broadcast 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."I bowed my head

Later, the Korea Communications Standards Commission decided at a plenary session that "It seems like a mistake" the administrative leader "Recommendation".

Unlike legal sanctions (warnings, fines, disciplinary action for officials, etc.), 'recommendation' is classified as a relatively light disciplinary action because it does not affect the broadcaster's re-approval examination score and is not legally binding.
