Today's (25th) morning portal site The first real-time issue search term after the movie actor was punished for dating violence.

When articles containing the parties' explanations came out, criticisms of excessive expression were poured out.

Since then, Kakao has removed the actor's name from the search term rankings.

Actress Sully's death was a big social shock, but the evil comment continues.

Yeo Min-soo and co-chairman Cho Soo-yong of Kakao said in an emergency press conference today that the comment function will be removed in the following entertainment news later this month.

We also decided not to provide related search terms that come with people.

This is to eliminate the side effects that are automatically detected by negative words being attached to individuals.

[Jeongyeon Yeon / Kakao Communication Team Director: (in news or comments) There are a lot of social side effects such as privacy infringement and defamation. This is why we have announced a plan to reorganize our services for a long time.]

Kakao says the abandonment of entertainment news comments, especially those with a lot of malicious comments on individuals, is abolished compared to social and political news.

Kakao also said that it will reorganize the controversial real-time search ranking service and stopped the real-time issue search service provided by 'Kakao Talk' from this afternoon.
