The petitioner pointed out, “The caster relayed the mixed match and expressed Kim Woo-jin as an older brother who attracted the Ansan player, and in the women’s individual event relay, he half-talked about Ansan and Jang Min-hee while omitting the player titles for Ansan and Jang Min-hee. . He continued, “This is not enough, so I used expressions such as ‘worst’ and ‘what is this’ to a player who scored 7 or 8 points.” “It’s too rude. Please apologize to the players and to the viewers who were offended.”
KBSN Sports announcer Lee Ki-ho was the broadcast caster for the ‘2021 World Archery Championships’. As of the 28th, more than 3,600 people have signed the petition.
