Even after tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereafter, 'You Quiz') was aired with the president-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, the noise continues.

A year ago, President Moon Jae-in inquired about appearing on the program, but the production team turned it down, and it is spreading into a double standard controversy.



Yoon Seok-yeol's episode of 'You Quiz' aired on the 20th.

Thousands of protest messages flooded the viewer's bulletin board of the program saying that Yoon-elect's appearance before the broadcast did not match the character of 'You Quiz', which had been excluding politics so far, but 'You Quiz' aired Yoon Seok-yeol's episode as scheduled. sent.



After the broadcast, the controversy did not subside.

Viewers are still posting on the viewer's bulletin board, arguing, from protests saying "Why are you bringing politics into entertainment?" to advocacy articles saying, "It was a pity that the broadcast was short."



Meanwhile, a new claim emerged that President Moon Jae-in had already knocked on the door of the broadcast a year ago before Yoon-elect.



On the 21st, Media Today reported that, borrowing the words of a Blue House official, President Moon asked to appear on 'You Quiz' last year, but was rejected.

A Blue House official said through Media Today, "I contacted the production team of 'You Quiz' in April of last year and asked about President Moon Jae-in's one time appearance. We also talked directly with the PD on our side." He said that the appearance of politicians, including the president, did not fit the program concept.



If the report is true, President-elect Yoon's appearance in 'You Quiz', which rejected President Moon's appearance as 'a politician's appearance does not fit the program's concept', allowed Yoon-elect to appear, which could lead to a 'double standard' controversy.



In response to this report, CJ ENM immediately took the position that it was groundless, saying, "President Moon never asked to appear in 'You Quiz'."



Then, this time, Tak Hyeon-min, secretary of the Blue House protocol, said that CJ ENM's claim was 'false' and that President Moon's request to appear on 'You Quiz' was true.

Secretary Tak pointed out through his SNS that day, "There is a serious problem with CJ's lies about the Blue House, regardless of whether or not President-elect Yoon appeared."



Secretary Tak said, “In April and before last year, the Blue House inquired about the appearance of the President, the Blue House barber, shoe repairman, and landscaping person in the program. has expressed our intention to refuse, and we respected the will of the production team and did not make any further requests."



He continued, "There is a record of talking to the program manager at the time, and it remains as a text message exchanged. Nevertheless, lying to the media that CJ had never been asked to participate is a bigger problem than the lie itself." criticized



Secretary Tak emphasized, "We did not want any program to be affected by any external pressure, and we have believed that such an attitude is the most correct attitude to consider culture and art."

"Even now, I want to believe that Yoon-elect's appearance was solely the judgment of the production team," he said. However, I hope that there has been no external pressure, and I only hope that the production team's judgment will be the only principle of production in the future."
