SBS, awarded the Han River Nobel Prize… “Cannot be compared to the Nobel Peace Prize”

The comment that SBS used in its special report on novelist Han Kang’s Nobel Prize win drew criticism for potentially damaging the honor of former President Kim Dae-jung. SBS recently uploaded a video titled “[Special Report] Creating a New History in Korean Literature… Novelist Han Kang, Nobel Literature Prize Winner” on its official YouTube channel. However, a comment featured in the material screen saying “Uncomparable to the Nobel Illness Prize… The pinnacle of literary dignity!” sparked controversy. In response, an internet user posted on an online community requesting quick review by the Korea Communications Standards Commission and provided evidence of filing a public complaint through the National Petition System.
