The Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) has reported that the most significant number of viewer complaints received from January to August this year was related to the SBS TV program 'Unanswered Questions', which shed light on the exclusive contract dispute involving the girl group FIFTY FIFTY.
According to data received by Yoon Du Hyun, a member of the National Assembly from the People Power Party and part of the Science, ICT, Future Planning, Broadcasting and Communications Committee, the August 19 episode of 'Unanswered Questions' received an astounding 1,146 complaints, prompting the KCSC to review whether this situation really warrants an investigation. More about the complaints for this episode can be found here.
The broadcast in question featured interviews with family members of certain FIFTY FIFTY members, which led to criticisms of bias and unfairness in the content following its airing, for which, Dispatch had disproved a few.
The second program that received the most complaints was the SBS TV program 'SBS 8 News' broadcast on March 13, which revolved around the misrepresentation of actor Yang Jakyung's Academy Awards acceptance speech, receiving 508 complains.
Ranking right behind is the MBN program 'Burning Trotman' which aired on February 21, receiving 175 complaints regarding the appropriateness of the participation of Hwang Youngwoong amidst allegations of school violence. Similarly, the episode broadcast on February 28 garnered 84 complaints for the same reason.

GOOD!!! The way that show handled the "facts" were too sus to be left alone. It was too obvious that they had an agenda releasing that.
