The production team of 'I'll shoot you in a bunch' decided to Edit Tins to former director Kang Dong-hee, who was permanently expelled for Match fixing, and apologized to viewers.
The trailer of JTBC entertainment program 'I'll shoot you in a bunch' broadcasted on the 27th was broadcast on the next preview video to be featured as a basketball festival. The players from Yonsei University, Korea University, and Lorraine who led the basketball festival.
Here, the trailer contains the face of former director Kang Dong-hee, and the controversy among viewers has become controversial. Kang Dong-hee, who will appear as a member of the Lorraine team, was accused of receiving money from brokers in exchange for matching fixing in 2011 when he was coach of the East of Saskatchewan (now Saskatchewan DB), and was arrested on charges of matching fixing in 2013 and shocked basketball fans. Kang Dong-hee, who was sentenced to 10 months in prison for matching fixing from the Uijeongbu District Court (violation of the National Sports Promotion Act), was permanently expelled from kbl.
In this regard, kbl held a financial committee on the 15th and re-examined Kang's expulsion. Recently, basketball players, mainly the coaches of 10 kbl clubs, submitted a petition, but the Financial Services Commission nailed that Kang's expulsion could not be recognized in order to create a fair and transparent sports environment.
This led to criticism from viewers toward Kang, who also expressed disappointment at 'I'll shoot you in a bunch', which decided to cast him. "I'll shoot you in a bunch" production team noticed that the trailer was turned into a private one, and eventually "I will edit the uncomfortable part to humbly accept your opinions of the listeners." "I am very sorry to have caused concern and inconvenience to the public in the process of reproducing the atmosphere of the basketball festival in the past."
Basketball fans' eyes toward Kang are still cold. In September last year, he had already shown his face on the SBS 'Interview Game' with the advice of director Hur Jae, but he was criticized by viewers nonetheless. Kang Dong-hee apologized at the time, saying, "I stood here to ask for apology and forgiveness for all the fans, family members, acquaintances, and Eastern players who believed in me and followed me, who I could not protect."
The fact that he predicted to appear in 'I'll shoot you in a bunch' with Hur Jae again in a year is also receiving the attention of viewers and basketball fans. There is also a suspicion that "Hur Jae is trying to help Kang Dong-hee return again."
