SBS embroiled in yet another Ilbe image controversy

Is SBS just incapable of getting it right or is Ilbe really just that sneaky?


This is yet another case of the broadcasting station mistakenly using a picture that is the result of image editing by Ilbe, an infamous online community that uses the freedom of speech to stir up controversy and jab at sensitive issues.  The photo in question this time derives from this week's airing of SBS's 'One Night of TV Entertainment,' in which they were discussing the popular movie 'Assassination' and showed its poster.


However, they had mistakenly used a picture that had replaced one of the actor's faces with that of the now deceased former President Roh Moo Hyun, who had committed suicide.  This is not the first time this had happened.

The viewer who noticed this scene stated, "You could have just used the official poster for the movie; why did you use an untested image and create controversy?" criticizing SBS especially for repeating such a mistake.


This makes the seventh total time for SBS.  Previously, they had done this three times on '8 News' and this occurred in other shows like 'What in the World' and 'Running Man.'
