According to the industry on the 4th, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism transferred the complaints received on the 2nd to the Sports Ethics Center and launched an investigation. The civil petitioner raised the issue by saying there are serious questions about the fairness of the judgment and application of the regulations in the G League final (airing on August 27)." In particular, he cited the fact that the 12th minute of the second half of the game record cannot be seen anywhere on the main broadcast and official YouTube 'Full Version', and that it is difficult to verify the grounds for judgment because the application regulations are not disclosed in an integrated manner.
The complainant said, "Even if it is an entertainment show, from the moment the rules, referees, and records are in place, they will enter the realm of public trust.""The rules announced by the production team must be checked to ensure that they are consistently applied in actual games", he pointed out.
In the final match on August 27, FC Goo Jang-shin beat FC Wonder Woman 2-1 to win the first championship. However, shortly after the broadcast, allegations of a biased judgment erupted that no warning was given even though FC pitch players dragged their arms and made excessive tackles toward the opponent Masimayu. Later, the recording paper released by the production team stated that Masima Yu was warned in the 12th minute of the second half, which intensified the controversy over the manipulation. The problem was that this scene was not released anywhere.
In a statement on the 1st, the gallery of Dish Inside 'Golden Girl demanded ▲ release of the original video ▲ clarification of the basis for judgment ▲ explanation of the editing process ▲ regular marking of game time ▲ establishment of a system to prevent recurrence ▲ viewer notification, but the production team is consistent with silent responses.
In fact, this is not the first time that there has been a controversy over the manipulation of 'Golgeonyeo'. In 2021, there was a history of editing to change the order of goal difference, leading to a change of direction.
SBS apologized at the time, saying, `I will go back to the beginning,' but again, the same controversy has sparked criticism.
