Singer Lim Young-woong bows to indoor smoking controversy
On May 4, one media reported a photo of Lim Young-woong doing indoor smoking during a photo shoot of TV Chosun 'Pong-Sung-A Academy' at DMC Digital Cube in Mapo District, Seoul. The media pointed out that smoking in a smoking cessation place is a violation of Article 9 of the National Health Promotion Act.
In addition, the staff wears a mask in the photo, but Lim Young-woong was caught not wearing a mask, and a "nomask controversy" also occurred.
Since then, Lim Young-woong has been reexamined as an indoor smoking at the time of the 'Mr. Trot' Concert Busan performance. Lim Young-woong and his agency Newera Project have apologised side by side.
Image hit may not be avoided, but it seems that Lim Young-woong's quick apology has prevented the controversy from spreading unnecessarily. But if you really apologize only for Lim Young-woong, you need to look back on whether there is any problem.
The indoor smoking controversy erupted when a media released a Photo shot of Lim Young-woong in the waiting room. However, when you look at the picture, Lim Young-woong seems to be not aware of the camera. If Lim Young-woong had recognized the camera, he wouldn't have been doing smoking, either, whether it was over-drawn from a long distance or not. If this picture shows Lim Young-woong without prior consultation, you can not get out of the Candid Camera' problem.
smoking in nonsmoking area, of course, is an Illegal Masturbation that violates Article 9 of the National Health Promotion Act. The media may have inevitably shot a photo with a civic consciousness to accuse Lim Young-woong of the Illegal Masturbation. However, the 'nonsmoking area designation management guidelines' established by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Health Promotion Development Institute notify the minimum manual based on the Personal Information Protection Act when leaving the nonsmoking area violation Masturbation as photo evidence.
The guidelines require you to identify the violation and take a Photo shot, then introduce your Financial Crimes Enforcement Network agent status and explain the basis for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. Here, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network agent status is a civil servant. Subsequently, the violator can submit his/her opinion to the relevant department within the period of 10 or more days of submission of his/her opinion, and the right to appeal to the court of jurisdiction is guaranteed by raising objections to the notice of disposition of fines.
It's not that indoor smoking is not a problem. Lim Young-woong and his agency have officially apologized for this, and complaints have already been filed in the Mapo District in Seoul and Haeundae-gu in Busan. Depending on the results of the complaint, Lim Young-woong will need to take appropriate action.
The problem is that the Candid Camera problem is as serious as the indoor smoking controversy. Just as Lim Young-woong apologized for indoor smoking and promised to correct it, someone should be responsible for Candid Camera. No matter how good the intention is, if Masturbation is inappropriate, it is right to pay the right price. There is a reason why we can not punish or retaliate against someone privately by implementing justice. If Lim Young-woong is to pay a fine based on the picture, even a person who secretly shot a photo should be held responsible even though he does not have the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network authority.
