When reporting on BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) SUGA's drunk driving, JTBC 'Newsroom' mistakenly released surveillance footage of another person. The Broadcasting Communications Review Committee decided to issue a 'warning'. Today (7th), the Broadcasting Communications Review Committee held a general meeting at the Mokdong Broadcasting Center in Seoul and discussed 'Newsroom'. In August, while reporting on SUGA's drunk driving, 'Newsroom' repeatedly showed surveillance footage of another civilian riding an electric scooter, as if it were related to SUGA's accident, without accurately confirming the facts. In response, the Broadcasting Communications Review Committee decided on a legal sanction of 'warning'. The committee's decision is categorized into 'no problem', 'opinion presentation stage' for administrative guidance, and legal sanctions such as 'warning', 'caution', 'program correction/modification/suspension, or disciplinary action against related parties', and 'fines'. Legal sanctions are applied as grounds for deduction during the re-licensing or re-approval of television stations and are recognized as serious disciplinary actions.
