Son Seok-hee, president of JTBC, who was threatened with murder by Jo Joo-bin, further explained why he did not report to the police at the time. That's why he believed Jo Joo-bin's words that Samsung was behind him and Kim Woong-ju, who is on trial. However, both Samsung and the reporter are denied.

JTBC President Son Seok-hee is said to have explained to his reporters yesterday why he did not report Jo Joo-bin, who threatened to kill himself and his family.

He threatened that he had been asked to kill a contract by Kim Woong, a freelance journalist in dispute with him, saying that Samsung was behind Kim.

It has been reported that Samsung Future Strategy Office staff had back-checked whether they were involved in the Mitu case in 2018, and that they believed that they believed Jo Joo-bin's story behind Samsung.

Samsung countered that it was an absurd claim.

Samsung said it had nothing to do with Jo Joo-bin or Mr. Kim Woong, and that he hadn't investigated Son's back.

In addition, Mr. Son's claim that the Future Strategy Office, which had already been disbanded in 2017, conducted a background investigation in 2018, disagreed.

Freelance journalist Kim Woong also criticized Son on the YouTube broadcast saying whether he quoted the devil's words, and that allegations regarding him and Samsung were true.

As the controversy surrounding Mr. Son's clarification is growing, the truth of the matter will also be revealed in the results of the prosecution investigation.
