[이데일리 스타in 김현식 기자] KBS was once again in an embarrassed situation due to the suspicion of abusing (school violence) surrounding the program performers. This time, actor Jisoo, the leading actor in the 2TV Monday-Tuesday drama “The Moon Rising River,” fell into trouble after being named as a harassment perpetrator.

On the 2nd, there was a controversy over the posting of an article by a netizen who raised suspicions that Jisoo reigned as Iljin during his middle school days and used violence, verbal abuse, and extortion of goods. Since then, the controversy has amplified as netizens claiming that they suffered similar damages from Jisoo in school.

In response, Jisoo’s management company Keyeast announced on the 3rd that it would issue a statement and confirm the facts.

Keyeast said, “Since a considerable amount of time has passed since the point of time, it takes time to determine the facts and relationships.”

In addition, he emphasized, “In addition to identifying the facts, the spouse party (indicator) and the company will do their best to resolve the matter.”

In the midst of this, the controversial sparks surrounding Jisoo splashed toward the’moon-rise river’. ‘River River’ is a fusion historical drama about the story of the general Ondal, who made the history of Princess Pyeonggang, who was all of Goguryeo’s life, and love. Jisu is appearing in this drama as the male protagonist Ondal.

Previously, KBS made a decision to postpone or withhold the appearance of its own programs by celebrities who were suspicious of abusing. Actor Park Hye-soo delayed the first broadcast date of 2TV’s new Friday drama’Dear M’in which the female protagonist was played, and Actor Cho Byeong-gyu’s 2TV new entertainment program’Comeback Home’ was put on hold.

Both Park Hye-soo and Cho Byeong-gyu were made in the context of denying the allegations through their management companies. As a public broadcaster, he responded sensitively to the controversy over the academy issue that has spread as a social issue.

As there have been previous cases, there is no guarantee that the’River of the Moon’ will be broadcast normally in the future. In such a situation, on the bulletin board on the official website of the’River River’, viewers’ protests requesting the exit of Jisoo are flooding. On the bulletin board for the issue of the KBS Viewers Rights Center, a petition titled’Please get off the school violence perpetrator index’ was posted. About 2,000 people have already agreed to this petition.

‘The Moon Rising River’ was planned as a 20-part series, and it has been broadcast only up to six times. Since about 95% of the filming has already been completed, KBS has no choice but to have a deeper effort. Unlike’Dearm’ and’Comeback Home’, it is a difficult issue to conclude even in that the program is already being aired.

Unfortunately, March 3 is KBS Corporation’s founding anniversary, that is, a closed day. KBS Public Relations Office Drama official said in a phone call with E-Daily that day, “I heard only the fact that Jisoo’s agency has announced its position to check the facts.” I think there can be a discussion on’this floating river’.” He added, “I plan to make an official position when discussions are made and conclusions are made.”
