KBS imposes new regulations in response to sexually suggestive content

With more attention being put on the issue of sexually suggestive content shown on public broadcast programs, KBS has responded to the criticisms by revealing their new regulation policy at the KBS parliamentary inspection held by the Committee on Culture, Sports, Tourism, Broadcasting, & Communications on October 18th. After being criticized by congressman An Young Hwan for underage celebrities wearing revealing outfits, KBS CEO Kim In Kyu answered, "We're currently inspecting anything that's deemed too sexually suggestive to society. Especially the outfits of underage singers, 'Music Bank' will be setting up internal regulations so that they prepare separate outfits and choreography for our show." Regarding variety programs requesting underage idols to perform sexy dances and show recordings going well past midnight, Kim answered, "We will be aggressively working to restrict idol celebrities from making appearances on shows that must film late into the night. The regulations for that issue are still being set up." KBS was also one of the first companies to raise their show rating for "Music Bank" from the ages of 12 and up to 15 and up. Viewers welcomed the changes, commenting, "For once, something is being done. Now it's MBC and SBS's turn." Source + Photo: Everyday Economy, Nate
