President Lee Jaemyung Approves Confirmation Hearing Request for KBS President Nominee Lee Taehyeon
President Lee Jaemyung approved a request for a confirmation hearing for Lee Taehyeon, nominee for KBS president, on November 6, Blue House spokesperson Kim Seongwan announced in a media notice that day.
Earlier, on October 20, the KBS Board of Directors held an extraordinary meeting and conducted in-depth interviews with the three candidates recommended by the public recommendation committee for the KBS presidency: Kim Youngsam, Eom Gyeongcheol, and Lee Taehyeon.
The board selected Lee as its nominee for the 28th KBS presidency. Lee received votes in favor from at least three-fifths of the 10 sitting directors.
However, directors Lee Kangdeok and Jang Hansik, who joined the board on the recommendation of the People Power Party, walked out of the meeting just before the vote after their request to postpone it was rejected.
Nominee Lee Taehyeon graduated from Korea University’s Department of Philosophy and joined KBS as a producer in 1994. At KBS, he served as head of the Content Business Bureau, and later as CEO of Content Wavve and CEO of the Hanam Cultural Foundation.
