MBN said on October 21 that the contents of the September 12 broadcast dealing with Kim Jong-seok were misleading"It was broadcast by supplementing the contents through the "Sano Ramen" broadcast on October 20th."," he said.
MBN then deleted the 'Special World' replay service which was in question to provide accurate information"We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our viewers", he apologized.
The controversy began with Kim Jong-seok's conflicting remarks on assets and living difficulties. In September's episode of `The World of Specials,' Kim Jong-seok said, `Currently, I am 10 billion won in debt and have sold my house in Gangnam, where my family lives scattered" he appealed. However, a month later, in the episode of 「Sano Ramen」 aired on October 20, Kim Jong-seok explained the contradiction, saying, 「The value of real estate alone reaches 30 billion won, and the total assets reach 50 billion won」.
Kim Jong-seok explained in an interview with The Fact after broadcasting 'Special World' that some of the contents were exaggerated. He argued that "10 billion in debt is only 20% of the assets, and the shabby accommodation shown on the show was also a place prepared by the production team." In fact, Kim Jong-seok is known to own a 69 pyeong apartment in Seocho-dong, Seoul.
Currently, the broadcast of 'Special World' has been deleted from MBN's replay service. MBN has taken follow-up reporting and action to provide viewers with more accurate information" he said.
