It has been reported that the health authorities' policy to deal with the alleged violation of the COVID-19 quarantine regulations by Mr. Kim Eo-jun, the host of the TBS FM current affair program'Kim Eo-Jun's News Factory', will be decided around the 26th.
According to today (21st) Mapo-gu, Seoul, the district decided to determine whether and who would be fined for negligence by the 26th of this month, which is the deadline for handling this report received in the form of a civil complaint, and is conducting an investigation.
Of course, if the investigation ends earlier, you can decide earlier.
Mapo-gu conducted a field investigation at a coffee shop in Sangam-dong yesterday and confirmed that seven people, including Kim, had gathered.
This survey is due to the fact that a photo of Kim wearing a mask on his chin at a coffee shop and talking with four people in the group was released yesterday (19th).
Mapo-gu believes that the acts of Mr. Kim and others may violate the order to comply with the quarantine guidelines for wearing masks in effect in accordance with the law and the order to prohibit private gatherings with more than 5 people.
If it is judged that Mr. Kim's actions are'violation', a penalty of not more than 100,000 won per person may be imposed, and a fine of up to 3 million won may be imposed on the store.
Meanwhile, the TBS side insists that the production team gathered for business and was not a private meeting.
TBS issued a statement on the 19th, when the incident was known, and said, "The'News Factory' production team had a business meeting immediately after the end of the live broadcast to monitor the broadcast and produce the broadcast the next day." I apologize."
