The previous conversation is an ambassador that appears in the scene where Ken, the protagonist of the cartoon "Eagle Rio Brother", is caught with other members and trapped in a prison where a bomb is installed. It is used as a popular 'jail' among netizens, and it reminds me of the current situation of Hur Jae of JTBC 'Torne.'
Recently, Hur Jae has been troubled by the fact that the past Drunk driving and the controversy over the selection of son during the national basketball team coach have come back to the surface. This was even more intense after the controversy over the appearance of Kang Dong-hee, a junior in basketball, 'Torne.'
The controversy began with a trailer for "Torne to Unify." The production team released a special trailer for the basketball Game at the end of the broadcast on the 27th. In this video, a large number of basketball stars from the previous years, divided into four teams: Lorraine Toyota, Korea University, Yonsei University, and Sangam Bullnax, appeared.
But shortly after the release, many netizens voiced criticism and concern rather than expectations, as the Lorraine Toyota team in the video showed Kang Dong-hee taking the lead. He was dismissed from the basketball world in 2011 for allegedly manipulating Game in some regular league Game with 47 million won for brokers during the professional basketball team Wonju East coach.
As criticism poured out, the production team promised to edit Kang Dong-hee's appearance on the 28th, saying, "I apologize for the inconvenience that I have not been able to meet the public sentiment in the process of reproducing the atmosphere of the basketball festival in the past."
The public anger did not sit down even though the production team, the main body of Kang Dong-hee, apologized. Some netizens speculated that Hur Jae would have played a significant role in Kang Dong-hee's discussion. Kang Dong-hee appeared in SBS current affairs and cultural program 'Interview Game' last year, which was supported by the claim that his senior Hur Jae, who ate a meal at Lorraine Toyota, helped.
Hur Jae, who pulled Kang Dong-hee to the sun at the time, said, "I hope Kang Dong-hee, who has been suffering from interpersonal repellent for a long time, will convey his sorry heart." Kang Dong-hee met Hur Jae and asked for forgiveness.
Kang Dong-hee's "Torne to unite." The reaction was that Hur Jae's breath, which is also in charge of the director, would have worked. Another netizen listed anecdotes that were embroiled in controversy when Hur Jae selected two son Heo Hoon and Heo Ung for the national team at the time of the 2018 Asian Game. They pointed out that Hur Jae emphasized the fairness of the selection of the players at the time through various broadcasts, saying, "We are constantly using the power of broadcasting to glorify the past."
The controversy has also recounted Hur Jae's previous record of Drunk driving. Hur Jae was accused of driving a Drunk in 1993 and 1995 when he was a basketball player. In 1996, he was caught on charges of switching drivers after a hit-and-run accident in a drunken state. In 2003, he drove Drunk and made an illegal U-turn and caused an accident. However, Hur Jae is being portrayed as a 'weekly' character in the entertainment program, and he does not care about the previous record of Drunk driving, such as challenging the week.
Hur Jae, who was called "basketball president," has shown off his charisma since his career. The nickname "disgrace" he earned during his coaching career also came from his fiery personality. However, in entertainment programs such as JTBC 'Changda to unite', Hur Jae was portrayed as 'Cute Aja'. When he appeared with active basketball stars, Duson Heo Ung and Heo Hoon, he showed a 'laughing head'. So Hur Jae got as popular as the days when he was dragging his 'brother unit'.
For this reason, Hur Jae has no intention of returning to the basketball court for the time being; he was offered a directorship on SBS's "Tikita CAR" last month, but "the air is good now." "I really like entertainment, and I feel like I'm getting younger when I laugh happily," he said.
But broadcasting does not exist only for the happiness of an individual; it cannot be privatized for any reason, and individual emotions should not be overly involved. The appearance of showing happiness with the sons and attracting the juniors of the basketball world can be seen as warm as time goes by, but the attempt to glorify the wrong past frowns viewers. In order to continue his activities as a broadcaster, he must have a more professional sense of being as much as he is dealing with basketball. I hope that the cold evaluation of 'not in the basketball Game or in the broadcasting industry' is deeply ingrained.
