‘Penthouse 3’ side sent a news video that reported the collapse of the demolished building in Gwangju in the scene of the collapse of the building in the drama. When it became known that the video of the disaster in which about 10 people were injured, including 9 deaths, it became known that it was inappropriately criticized.
In the SBS Friday drama ‘Penthouse 3’, which was broadcast on the afternoon of the 3rd, the scene of the collapse of Hera Palace was drawn due to Joo Dan-tae (Um Ki-joon) who installed homemade bombs throughout the building.
In the process, ‘Penthouse 3’ produced the scene in the form of an anchor’s news report. However, the news video used in the drama was controversial because the SBS 8 o’clock news in June connected the scene of the Gwangju collapse accident.
The Gwangju Disaster occurred on June 9 in the redevelopment area of Hak-dong, Dong-gu, Gwangju. During the demolition work, a five-story building collapsed, killing nine out of 17 passengers of the buried city bus and seriously injuring eight others, including the driver. The production team added subtitles to the video of the accident, such as ‘The collapse of Hera Palace’ and ‘Familiarity with the internal structure of the main unit where the bomb was installed’. On the bulletin board of the viewers of ‘Penthouse 3’, critics such as “Are you crazy?” and “A formal apology to the bereaved family” continued. At the time of the Sewol ferry disaster, there has been controversy over whether it was a caricature of the victims of the Sewol ferry disaster by editing and broadcasting the MBC report screen.
Meanwhile, some have raised suspicions that ‘Penthouse 3’ even used a video of victims of the 2017 Pohang earthquake evacuating to a school auditorium. However, the ‘Penthouse 3’ side did not take a special position on the controversy.
