Celebrities who have been categorized as permanently banned from KBS TV programs include: actor Jung Suk Won (35), Kang Sung Uk (35), actress Han Ji Sun (26), and actor Kim Byung Ok (60).

Stars categorized as temporarily banned from KBS TV programs include actor Kang Ji Hwan (43) and TV personality Robert Holley (62). The two stars were newly added to the list back in August.

The actor was originally accused of sexual assault and sexual harassment by two females, 'A' and 'B', in July of 2019. After the court's ruling, the case has been appealed by both Kang Ji Hwan's side and by prosecution, and will be reviewed by the Supreme Court.
