View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin] On the 19th, the side of former Channel A reporter Lee Dong-jae requested a correction report from KBS regarding the article titled "Yoo Si-min - Conversation Related to the General Election is a Smoking Gun," which was reported in the 9 PM news the previous day.
That afternoon, Lee's lawyer stated in a position paper titled "Request for Correction Report on KBS Coverage," "We have disclosed the relevant part of the transcript, and since the report is clearly factually incorrect, we request a correction report to protect reporter Lee Dong-jae's human rights."
Lee's side pointed out, "It appears that KBS wrote the article based on verbal transmission of the transcript content from sources, etc. However, as the reported content and the actual transcript content are clearly different, verbal transmission has a high possibility of error."
Lee's side added, "If the article is corrected by tomorrow morning and the SNS posts that spread the article are deleted, we will not take legal action. Although he is in custody, we ask for consideration of his human rights."
Before requesting the correction report, Lee's side disclosed the transcript of a conversation between former reporter Lee and Prosecutor Han related to the conversation content reported by KBS the previous day.
