I said that the moon is a problem, but I look at the finger pointing to the moon and protest that there is no problem. JTBC is in the spotlight for the first time since the start of the 'Snowdrop' airing.
On the afternoon of the 21st, JTBC announced its position on the "Snowdrop" controversy through its official position. Previously, 'Snowdrop' was caught up in various controversy over history distortions such as the democratization movement and the beautification of the Ministry of Justice after the first broadcast on the 18th. The number of Cheong Wa Dae petitioners who asked for suspension of broadcasting in three days exceeded 310,000.
JTBC emphasizes that the background of 'Snowdrop' and the motif of major events are the presidential election in the military regime. "In this background, it contains a hypothetical story that vested interests are united with the North Korean regime to maintain power. It is a creation that shows the personal Remady of those who were Lee Yong and sacrificed by the power. " "There is no The Spies that lead the democratization movement in the Drama," he said. "The setting of the male and female protagonists participating in or leading the democratization movement has not appeared in the past one or two times, and there is no place in the script since then."
The problem is that the production team is in a completely different context from the problems raised by viewers. To summarize JTBC's position, the main character, The Spies, did not throw tear gas directly into the democratization uprising, which does not disappear the essential error of this Drama.
The point where viewers are concerned is here: The Spies protagonist is chased by the Angibu, injured and hiding himself in the Women's University Dormitory. Instead of releasing the Missunderstood of a female college student who mistook herself for protesters, she pretends to be a student who participated in the protesters through silence and quiet sympathy. He also shows his sense of changing his words to "comrade" if he wanted to call his colleagues "comrade".
In 1987, Victims, who were framed and tortured by the Angibu, were actually present. The Victims, who remember that time, are still Earth 2. "'Snowdrop' seems to give indulgence to the violence of the Angibu, which is painful," says the Earth 2 Victims. Viewers are angry that they brought the wrong frame that mass-produced Victims to the material of the Drama, and it is not an important issue whether the two main characters in the Drama participated in the student movement. There is no explanation for this.
There is also a missing explanation for the controversy over the Angibu beautification: JTBC said it had created the story to address "the personal Remady of those who were Lee Yong and sacrificed by the powerful." This is the 'personal Remady' that viewers point out: An Gi-bu was the fearful institution that spawned countless Victims. Those who belong to the organization are also criminal perpetrators. Nevertheless, each person is not a villain, and it raises questions about the setting of Drama, which is depicted as being victimized by the logic of the organization.
JTBC, which has not been able to grasp this context, has been taking a defensive stance for months, repeating only similar statements. If the viewers' claim is Misunderstood, we should solve it through concrete explanation. It is not possible for viewers to understand that they are only offering the same answer that "most of Misunderstood will be resolved in the future Drama development process".
Even the controversy about the basic setting of Drama is not solved, but what is the use of having a grand production intention? JTBC said, "The value that we pursue core is freedom of content creation and independence of production." We should look at whether or not we are doing another harm to the Victims in 1987, based on their freedom and independence.
