[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The Korea Communications Standards Commission concluded that there was no issue with broadcaster Kim Eo-jun's remark, which sparked controversy for belittling the working class by saying "without even having a house" to those opposing the so-called 'indefinite extension law for jeon-wolse (monthly rent and deposit) contracts.'

According to the Commission on the 27th, at the Broadcasting Advisory Special Committee held earlier this month, it was decided not to refer the petition submitted last month by the Judicial Examination Preparation Group regarding Kim's remarks to the Broadcasting Deliberation Subcommittee. It is known that 10 out of 13 attendees at the meeting agreed that there was 'no problem.'

Previously, on the 16th of last month, Kim said with a laugh during a conversation with Park Ju-min, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea who proposed the amendment to the Housing Lease Protection Act known as the 'indefinite extension law for jeon-wolse contracts,' on TBS radio program 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory,' "without even having a house" about those opposing the law.
