[SBS연예뉴스 | 강선애 기자] TVN’Naked World History’, which caused controversy over history distortion, was once again engulfed in error controversy despite Seol Min-seok getting off.
Seoul National University’s Western History Professor Park Heung-sik left a post on his SNS on the 31st of last month pointing out the’naked world history’. ‘Naked World History’ resumed broadcasting on the 30th of last month, four weeks after Seol Min-seok got off due to controversy over thesis plagiarism and reorganized. In the reopened first broadcast, Professor Jang Hang-seok of Yonsei University Severance Hospital dealt with the plague of medieval Europe.
Professor Park, who saw this broadcast, said, “I studied the Black Death for more than 10 years, and from the point of view of a scholar majoring in Europe in the late Middle Ages, this is not really me.” “A doctor who had little understanding of the medieval society and could not interpret the historical materials at the time only raised distorted perceptions of the viewers,” he criticized, saying, “The content and composition were awful.”
Professor Park also said, “Is it the goal to arouse a vague fear of the Black Death? Even in terms of statistics or etiology, the latest interpretation was not reflected at all.” It was interpreted as if it were a historical fact, and it fixed the false perception that all bad things came from Asia”, “that the hope of the Renaissance began in the process of overcoming the Black Death? As pointed out the error.
Professor Park said, “If you try to point it out, there will be no end and it is not worth it,” he said. “I thought Seol Min-seok was the problem, and almost everything that composes this program seems to be a problem.” He said, “I had a hard time asking myself, but I didn’t use the content I asked myself at all.”
Finally, Professor Park strongly criticized, saying, “I’m sorry, but in order to convey the historical theme in this way, it is right to abolish the program right away.”
Previously,’Naked World History’ broadcasted the Cleopatra edition in December last year, and then Kwak Min-soo, head of the Korean Institute of Egyptology, an archeology expert, pointed out errors and was controversial over history distortion. In response, the production crew bowed, saying, “We sincerely apologize for some errors in the process of researching vast ancient history materials.” Said. Seol Min-seok, who conducted the lecture, also said, “It seems to have been caused by my lack and lack of a lot. In the future, I will show you the appearance of Seol Min-seok who is more sincere and harder to prepare for your words as a whip to do better.” Apologized.
However, afterwards, controversy over the plagiarism of Seol Min-seok’s thesis arose, and Seol Min-seok admitted his fault and got off all broadcasts. Accordingly, the’Naked World History’ took time to reorganize, and instead of Seol Min-seok, experts in each field related to the topic were invited to give a lecture. The broadcast resumed four weeks after the reorganization, but from the first broadcast, the controversy over the distortion of history was overwhelmed.
