It was announced late on the 1st that MBC deleted the remarks of the chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Group, who raised the suspicion of reading the accounts of the prosecution in last year’s radio program’Kim Jong-bae’s attention’. Criticism continues toward MBC, which has quietly deleted the already widely known facts.

Chairman Yoo appeared on an eye-catching broadcast on July 24 last year and mentioned the prosecution’s suspicion of recurring the labor current group account inquiry since 2019. He said on the broadcast, “When you see your account, (the financial institution) will notify you within 10 days, but if you don’t, the only time you ask for a deferral of notification,” he said. “Except for the prosecution through an unofficial channel, I got an answer that there was no such thing happening from a state agency with authority. Only the prosecution did not respond,” he claimed. He also said, “It was highly likely to have been seen by the Anti-Corruption Power Department, where prosecutor Han Dong-hoon was.”

However, Chairman Yoo’s argument turned out to be untrue. Eventually, Chairman Yoo stepped back on the 22nd of last month, saying, “I politely apologize to all officials of the prosecution for raising suspicion that the prosecution would have inspected me by filing a suspicion that is not true.”

On the 25th of last month, three days after an apology, MBC said through a YouTube channel, “In this interview, the chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Group has requested that the prosecution’s remarks related to the Suspicion of inquiring the Labor Group’s account are different from the facts and have been requested to be deleted.” Let me know.”

However, controversy continues among netizens. It is that MBC’s responsibility is to be removed by quietly deleting the content that has already spread, such as the number of YouTube views of the episode over 1.36 million. Netizen comments followed such as “Do you really incite and delete it now?”, “Upload the original as it is, and add a subtitle saying,’The remarks are the contents that Yoo Si-min admitted as false statements.”

In the past, there was a reaction that mocked the logic of Chairman Yoo, who was headed by Professor Kyung-Shim Chung, the wife of former Justice Minister Cho Kook, who took the computer out of Tong Yang University without permission before seizure and search, “is it not destroying evidence, but preserving evidence?”

Meanwhile, even after an apology on the 22nd of last month, the controversy surrounding Chairman Yoo has not subsided. In particular, he said, “I will not continue to criticize political issues in the future,” and on the 29th, on the YouTube’Alileo Season 3’video, comments that evaluated former Presidents Syngman Rhee and Junghee Park are rising and falling.

Chairman Yoo evaluated former President Syngman Rhee as “an incompetent president” and former President Park Chung-hee as “a person with tremendously strong will.”
