Han Kyung-cheon, director of the entertainment center, said at a briefing session on KBS Spring's new entertainment program held at KBS New Hall in Yeouido, Seoul on the 7th, `I don't think the abolition of `Hong Kim Dong-jeon' is a matter of the channel.'
Earlier in January 2024, KBS2 entertainment program 'Hong Kim Dong-jeon' was abolished due to low ratings and other reasons. At the time of broadcasting, the audience rating remained in the 1% range, but it boasted high popularity, ranking first in the KBS non-drama category on the OTT platform Wave.

In response, a director of the entertainment center said "KBS' "Hong Kim Dong-jeon" and Netflix's "Doriver: Finding the Lost Screw" have different tension. Although 'Hong Kim Dong-jeon' has been broadcast on KBS for more than a year and a half with the appeal of young viewers, it was lacking because it was a public broadcaster and operated on a subscription fee"Public broadcasting inevitably has a different way of solving it because the deliberation regulation itself is completely different from OTT." I don't think we should give up sensationalism and violence. Since KBS is a public broadcaster, it cannot launch a program no matter how popular it is unless the whole family can watch it."
In addition, the new MC of Season 2 of 'Rooftop Troublemakers' season 2 denied that although some of the members of 'Hong Kim Dong-jeon' overlap, it was not intended to be casted. Park Min-jeong: KBS colleagues are happy to see that 'Doriver: Finding the Lost Screw' topped Netflix"Kim Sook is an original member of our MCs, and Hong Jin-kyung has experienced a daily MC before, and she sent me a love call to call me whenever she was available. Joo Woo-jae was selected because he was looking forward to his chemistry with Kim Jong-guk. The genres of 'Hong Kim Dong-jeon' and 'Doriver: Finding the Lost Screw' are different, so there will be new points to watch, he said.
