[헤럴드경제=박세정 기자] As trot entertainment was poured out, there was finally a lawsuit over whether the broadcast format was plagiarized. The plagiarism lawsuit between domestic broadcasters is an unprecedented case.
In a situation where there are not a few viewers complaining of fatigue with similar trot contents, the trot contents have been brought to a muddy lawsuit.
TV Chosun claimed that MBN’s’Boystrt’ plagiarized its’Mistrot’ and’Mr.Trot’ series. It is claimed that MBN’s’Trot Fighter’ plagiarized the format of TV Chosun’s’I will sing the requested song-Call Center of Love’. TV Chosun has sent proof of the contents and is expected to accept the collection soon.
In addition, it has indicated that it is possible to file a lawsuit against re-broadcasting and compensation for damages.
TV Chosun said, “To preserve the originality of the broadcaster, we inevitably started a lawsuit.”
MBN said that it cannot be called plagiarism when it comes to TV Chosun’s filing of a lawsuit, and it cannot rule out the possibility of prolonged conflict between the two sides.

In the broadcasting industry, there is a reaction that’it burst out’. TV Chosun’s’Mistrot’ and’Mr.Trot’ caused a fever close to the syndrome, and similar follow-up and new trot entertainments were poured out like a rush.
In fact, TV Chosun’s Mistrot, Mistrot, and Mistrot 2, as well as new programs in the second half of last year, appeared one after another.
Trot-related programs such as MBN’s’Trot Fighter’, KBS’Trot National Sports Festival’, MBC’s’Trot’s Nation’, etc.
Voices pointing out re-tangling and samtang broadcasting were also released due to excessive reruns.
According to’ATAM’, a real-time audience rating and schedule survey company, TV Chosun’s’I’ll Sing the Requested Songs-Call Center of Love’ rebroadcasts 252 times as of the second week of last November. In terms of a month, the number of reruns exceeds 1,000.
It is broadcast at least 20 times a day and a maximum of 48 times a day on a total of 9 channels such as’Channel EM’ and’TV Chosun 2′. Some channels broadcast only this program 10 times a day. ‘Mr. Trot’, which has already ended, is also similar. A total of 248 reruns were organized in the second week of November alone.
Many viewers complain of fatigue due to excessive consumption of trot content. In the end, the Blue House petition even appeared, saying, “Please refrain from trot broadcasting and show various genres.”
In the industry, it is also pointed out that it is time to avoid excessive consumption of’worry-eating’ trot content and to think about various cast members and genres.
