Broadcaster Kim Eo-joon aimed at the power of the people who accused him of violating the Public Office Election Act to the prosecution and claimed that “the campaign is just an excuse,” and “actually, it is scared and threatening to shut up.” Regarding the problematic campaign video, he said, “There is no way to become one million subscribers with such a campaign,” and said that he initially showed a negative position on the campaign.
On the morning of the 11th, Mr. Kim said at TBS Radio’Kim Eo-jun’s News Factory’, “Because the by-election season begins, several pledges appear. One of them is’Going out of the news factory’.” Using the campaign video for achievement, he accused me of violating the Public Office Election Act.”
“Let’s do 1″ in’Let’s do Plus 1′, which made the campaign to make one more subscribed, reminds us of the Democratic Party sign No. 1, the logic of a pre-election campaign.”
At the same time, Mr. Kim emphasized, “I said that this campaign was difficult to succeed at the time the campaign was recorded, and that there is no way to have 1 million subscribers with this campaign.”
“If it really means number 1 as interpreted by the people’s power, it means that I could not be number 1,” he argued. “There is no reason to accuse me if you follow their interpretation.”
He added, “I may be expelled from the market because I’m low on my level and my senses are weak, but that wouldn’t be the case if I shut up and get scared that certain political forces don’t like them.”
Earlier, in order to achieve 1 million subscribers to the YouTube channel, TBS program hosts such as Kim Eo-jun, Joo Jin-woo, and actor Kim Gyu-ri appeared from November of last year to encourage subscriptions such as “You must work (1)” and “Let’s work (1)”. A campaign video containing the remarks was sent out.
Afterwards, a suspicion was raised, centering on the opposition party, that “TBS conducted a pre-election campaign ahead of the by-election.” It is argued that the number ‘1’ in mint color reminds the blue of the Democratic Party and’symbol number 1′. On the 4th of the controversy, TBS announced on the 4th that it will stop the campaign as of today, taking some points that it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings ahead of the by-election.
On the other hand, the Central Election Commission on the 8th said, “It is difficult to see it as a violation of the Public Official Election Act.”
