Netizens believe that JTBC's CEO Song Suk Hee's apology was not sufficient in regards to the broadcasting station's response to their incorrect report on BTS.
Song Suk Hee appeared on the December 16th broadcast of 'News Room' where he made an official apology regarding a false news story the program ran claiming BTS was seeking legal representation against Big Hit Entertainment over a profit distribution issue.
However, many netizens are up in arms stating that the apology wasn't a proper apology and failed to properly address their wrongdoings.
"I watched the broadcast and that wasn't an apology. In an apology, you say that you're sorry, that you did wrong. Who are you to say false things and then say that you're going to take on the hate and criticism? And he said that he was regretful that the story came out with their permission? Song Suk Hee, if you do this people will doubt that you are rational. Don't you know how to properly apologize?"
"This isn't an apology. They're just trying to dip out. Even other programs don't do this."
"If you're not going to do a proper apology, just don't do it at all."
What do you think?
They should face some legal consequences. Miss-leading accidental news happens all the time, but JTBC was trying to ruin BTS and BigHit's relationship and reputation on purpose! This is not okay, plus they legit broke into a private building, an apology is the least they could do.
