Paik Jong-won Alleges Ex-PD Distorted 4.5-Hour Interview for YouTube
Dubon Korea's Jongwon Baek representative expressed deep disappointment and anger after a meeting with former MBC PD Kim Jae-hwan, who raised a 'gapjil revelation' against him.

His position is that after four-and-a-half hours of conversation, it was not authenticity but 'distorted editorial broadcasting'.

In an interview with News 1 on the 11th, CEO Jongwon Baek spoke with former producer Kim Jae-hwan sincerely, but the result was a more severe distortion."We will no longer sit idly by and take a hardline response" he said.




Earlier, former PD Kim caused a stir by claiming that CEO Baek had been doing 'gapjil' in the past broadcast production process.

In particular, the controversy spread further when a video of a surprise interview with CEO Baek, who returned from filming in France, was released on YouTube.

In response, CEO Baek said, `At first, I also had time to reflect on myself. I deeply reflected on the idea that the passion of making the best broadcast in the past might have hurt someone."




However, the subsequent developments were shocking. "Even when we were confronted by surprise at the airport, we sincerely suggested a conversation, and the next day, we had a candid four-and-a-half-hour conversation in the office alone. He said, "We have the utmost respect by helping parking."

However, CEO Baek said that after the interview, he confirmed that former producer Kim followed his vehicle, secretly recorded the conversation, distorted and edited it, and released it on his YouTube channel.

Moreover, in his pre-filmed footage "Jongwon Baek may bring out a gangster.", He expressed strong regret that he left a personal offensive remark such as `Pretending to give and receive bribes and then accusing.'




CEO Baek humbly accepted the criticism that mentioned the damage to the owner at first. However, it now seems to be an approach for provocative YouTube content rather than a public interest issue. "The act of distorting facts can no longer be neglected."
