“After hard work, I decided to dismantle the coastal landscape.” Seven years ago, President Park Geun-hye said in a talk to the public about the Sewol ferry. At the time of the talk, I was standing in front of the office building in Yeouido, Seoul. Members of the Korean broadcaster were covering the scene where they camped to prevent the Korean broadcaster’s president from going to work at the time of Gil Welcome. They were protesting against the president, who held up without apology, even though the press director at the time revealed that “I heard a word from the president saying,’Do not criticize the seascape’,’This is a request for the Blue House. I suddenly felt creepy. If such a fight to protect the independence of broadcasting continues, I wondered if the Park Geun-hye administration would suddenly announce, “I will dismantle all public broadcasting after hard work.” It’s a ridiculous imagination when I think about it now, but I was serious at the time when there were so many things to turn the clock of democracy upside down.

I am not the only one who recently made a debut while hearing some opposition politicians claim that “Kim Eo-jun and TV should be abolished and dismantled in the name of Seoul citizens”. Ahead of the by-election of the mayor of Seoul, in the opposition centering on the power of the people, they argued that the political bias of the radio program (news factory) of the Seoul area public broadcaster (TBS) and TVS (news factory) was excessive. As a pledge, the Citizens’ Union of Democratic Press, the TVS Branch of the National Media Workers Union, the Korea PD Association, the Korea PD Association, and the Korea PD Association issued criticisms one after another. It is free to criticize any broadcaster or program, but proposing abolition or dissolution as a pledge is an official declaration that it will violate the independence and publicity of broadcasting guaranteed by the Constitution and Broadcasting Act. In a word, it means’crossed the line’. I am not saying that there is no problem with the journalism that TVS pursues. As I am writing this article (in the afternoon of the 13th), three deliberations are underway at the Broadcasting Subcommittee’s Meeting of the Korea Communications Standards Commission. There are endless complaints that the contents of the contents violate the obligation to maintain objectivity, fairness, and balance in the broadcasting deliberation regulations, and that there is a problem due to excessive ridicule and sacrificial act.

However, journalistic influences and improvement measures for the’current affairs talk show’ of other terrestrial and comprehensive programming channels in a similar format are subject to democratic discussion. The criticism raised in the “transfers objective information, persuades viewers through rational arguments, and deviates from the discourse style of conventional broadcasting journalism that used a formal speech style in a polite relationship” (Park Ji-young, Kim Ye-ran, Son Byeong-woo papers’ This is because it is connected with the issue of how to watch the broadcast program’Talk Show and Saddam’s Journalism’. The opposition politicians who have pledged to abolish the abolition will be inevitably criticized for politicizing the problem that needs to be solved through debate by ‘separating sides.’ I did not deliberately use the names of politicians making these regressive claims in this article. Most of the people who openly raise their voices such as’dismantlement’ or’restraint investigation’ are politicians with low awareness and support. Rather than posting a name on the news through an extra-legal attack on the media, I hope to increase their political influence and competitiveness by presenting a vision and policy pledge that will benefit the citizens of Seoul.
