, ‘Representative Choi stated, “The total crisis that TBS is currently experiencing is the shared responsibility of Kim, who poured all kinds of biased and politically misleading broadcasts while leading the front, and former Mayor Park Won-soon, who turned TBS into a political broadcasting station,” and questioned, “Who would agree to receive over 2 million won for a 2-hour show?”‘,
,
, ‘He added, “With the removal of Seoul City’s sponsor status, TBS is now in danger of being unable to receive sponsorships as a private corporation and must devise realistic measures to overcome operational difficulties.”‘,

Issues pointed out included △ridicule and caricature of politicians △politically misleading broadcasts △unilateral criticism △violation of fairness.
