While private gatherings with more than 5 people are banned, the fact that TV Chosun program production crews had a birthday party in-house is becoming controversial.
On the 13th, reporter A posted a photo of Director B’s birthday party on Facebook. The photo shows 14 people gathering and having a birthday party, three of whom did not wear masks.
Reporter A was introducing himself as’Daewoo, Deputy Director of the Political Department of TV Chosun’, and Director B was the director of current affairs production. <이것이 정치다> I was the host of the program.
On the 21st, an article criticized about 10 employees at the health center in Goseong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, saying that they had a birthday celebration event under the title of’In this city…
At the time, the public health center said that the event was held in less than 10 minutes, serving as a consolation for the head of the health center and the hard-working staff who are about to retire. All of the staff in the photo were wearing masks.
<조선일보>On the 20th and 21st, Kim Eo-jun, a broadcaster for both days, reported a series of criticisms saying that he had tuxed while having a business meeting with the production crew at the Starbucks store.
Broadcaster Kim Yong-min shared a photo on his Facebook page and said, “The birthday party of TV Chosun Director Mo’s birthday party that took place a while ago. It would not be possible to see this as a public gathering. Besides, 3 people are no masks. It would have been good to chew Kim Eo-jun.” I did.
Reporters, directors, and production crews who produce politics and current affairs programs in the final stage are media workers who know more about social issues and impact than anyone else.
Even though social distancing has progressed due to the Corona 19 incident and a ban on gathering has been issued, it seems inappropriate that the production crew had a birthday party with balloons and broadcasting equipment in-house, and shared it on social media.
