Jang Dong Min
The Civic Assocation for Households Without Discrimination (CAHD) filed a complaint against tvN's president, 'Comedy Big League's producer and scriptwriter, and comedians Jang Dong Min and Hwang Jae Sung for the insensitive, offensive content in a corner titled 'Chungcheong Province's Might.' 

In this particular corner, the comedians, who took on the roles of children, recited lines that went, "Their father must have sent them child support," "They must receive presents from both parents," and, "The way he sniffs out women is just like his father." CAHD took issue with the these lines in the skit as they seem to demean children from single-parent homes. The association argued, "[The skit] insulted and jeered the children that come from single-parent homes."

Jang Dong Min, who plays a big part in the skit, became the center of this controversy, especially as he is also the most widely known figure. 


The association requested rightful punishment for the all the people who played a part in the creation of this offensive skit, stating in the complaint, "[The production team of 'Comedy Big League'] behaved in an insulting manner by attacking the weak and underprivileged with ill-intent which arises from their greed to induce forced laughter and popularity. We decided to file a complaint to alert the immoral production crew who air content like this just because they are desperate to raise their viewership ratings.
