A
suspicion has been raised that Naver, the
<anchor>
portal site, exposes different search results for Justice Minister Chu Miae.
In response, Naver said that there were some errors in the data aggregation system and corrected it.
For more details, reporter Kim Ki-tae will deliver.
<Reporter> On
the 19th, Kim Geun-sik, Chairman of the People's Forces Song Pa-byeong, pointed out that when Naver searches for Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, the search category that appears at the top of the first screen is different from the usual screen.
Usually, when you search for politicians, the categories at the top are exposed in the order of news, real-time search, and images, but in the case of Minister Chu, it comes after'shopping'.
Also, if you type in the name of another politician with an English key, it will be converted to Korean and a search screen will appear, but Minister Chu raised a question that automatic conversion would not be possible.
After a day of suspicion, the search results for Minister Chu Mi-ae became like any other politician.
Naver said that a system error was discovered and corrected immediately.
In addition to simple search terms, all click data of search terms that contain spaces or special characters must be summed up.

word

Also, the fact that English was not automatically converted is an English keyboard whose name is the same as Ronaldo, a famous soccer player. It was explained that it was used.
The Special Committee on the People's Power Portal Fair Measures continued to raise suspicions, saying it was unconvincing that the error occurred selectively by Minister Chu.
Naver explained that there was a word with the same error as ``typhoon,'' but it said it could not disclose whether there were more names such as other politicians.
