The controversy over the double standard of the TVN entertainment program You Quiz on the Block production team seems to be spreading to host Yoo Jae-Suk.
The production team of You Quiz on the Block reportedly refused to appear as former Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung. The revelations like this came from the mouth of former secretary KIM Ji-ho.
“I remember that I recently failed to appear on the show with former Governor Lee Jae-myung in connection with President-elect Yoon Seak-ryul’s appearance on the Block,” said former secretary KIM Ji-ho on Facebook on the 26th. “CJENM and Yoon Seak-ryul are clearly involved in the suspicion of a “line-up of the prosecutor’s regime” and the controversy over external pressure. “Please reveal your position,” he wrote.
“From the time Lee Jae-myung was the governor of Gyeonggi Province to the presidential candidate, You Quiz on the Block, along with the working department, promoted the Cruising Bar directly and indirectly to the public officials related to Gyeonggi Province and former Governor Lee Jae-myung, but the Cruising Bar was not carried out.”
According to former secretary KIM Ji-ho, the production team of You Quiz on the Block has suggested that the program host is extremely cautious about appearing in politicians because he refused to appear in Lee Jae-myung.
“We are not against the appearance of the president-elect, but we are angry at unfair ‘Choices political neutrality’,” said former secretary KIM Ji-ho, urging CJENM to reveal the truth of the controversy.
The rejection of a series of appearances by politicians from the Democratic Party of Korea following the appearance of Yoon Seok-ryul on You Quiz on the Block is leading to the controversy over the production team's double standard.
President Moon Jae-in and Prime Minister Kim Bu-gyeom have proposed to appear on You Quiz on the Block for different reasons, but all of them have been rejected.
The reason for the production team's rejection was the same: Yo Jae-Suk is burdened with the appearance of politicians. “We received a response from the production team that Yo Jae-Suk felt a lot of pressure (for his appearance as a politician), and we did not make any further suggestions,” a prime minister official said.
Lee Jae-myung's proposal to appear was also rejected by the production team for the same reason, citing the burden of Yo Jae-Suk.
It is not known whether Yoo Jae-Suk actually delivered this doctor to the crew. However, the production team refuted that Yo Jae-Suk does not directly intervene in the invitation to You Quiz on the Block.
According to the Daily, the production team insisted that "MC does not intervene in the production crew's presence, and the production team does not burden the MC with Choices."
In summary, the production team consistently conveyed the answer that 'You Jae-Suk feels burdened' to the proposal of President Moon Jae-in, Prime Minister Kim Bu-gyeom and former Governor Lee Jae-myung.
Yoo Jae-Suk was caught up in a political controversy as he continued to appear in the You Quiz on the Block by Yoon Seak-ryul and the controversy over the production team's double standard, and became the first to be heard since his debut.
Yoo Jae-Suk has announced its legal response to the criticism. “We will respond to malicious slander, sexual harassment, dissemination of false facts, personal attacks, defamation postings and malicious comments that are being circulated to our artists,” the agency’s antenna said on Wednesday.
