During the discussion of the advertising subcommittee on this day, Commissioner Oxichan said, “No matter how much I listened to him, I could not decide what kind of person the comedian the host of the show is talking about was.” It’s what we feel emotionally. , and the host of the show never revealed. It is not possible to collect the rules of engagement until it has been collected and interpreted extensively,” he said. Commissioner Ok said, “I will only give a ‘recommendation’ opinion for the provisions of Article 5, Paragraph 3.”

That is why the person in question also acknowledged his mistake and apologized.”

Director Yoon said, “To say that there is a possibility of ‘secondary harm’ about saying the wrong thing is wrong is to misunderstand ‘secondary harm’. “Regarding this matter, the Korean Communications Standards Commission should discuss according to its purpose, ” he said.

I sincerely apologize for hurting many people’s hearts by reminding them of someone.” CJ OnStyle also said, “Mr. did not reveal.
