[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Broadcaster Nam Hee-seok once again criticized Kim Gu-ra's attitude on air.

On the 30th, Nam Hee-seok wrote on his Facebook, "Sudden, abrupt? No. This is a post after watching and contemplating for several years," and added, "You will understand if you look up the footage."

He stated, "The claim that I deleted it because it became controversial is incorrect. I was already aware that it had spread," and explained, "The post was up for about 20 minutes, but I deleted it before the controversy because the writer ㄱ was worried."

He continued, "If there is any rebuttal, I will organize a few points and post them. Since this is a public broadcast matter, and I am not in personal contact with Kim Gu-ra," and added, "I can understand if this situation is humorously wrapped up on Radio Star with something like 'I won't turn my back anymore'."

He further criticized Kim Gu-ra's attitude, saying, "He rose to fame through sketch comedy and appeared on Radio Star, but after being utterly humiliated and losing his self-esteem at night, seeing the juniors who came to me, he should not behave like that. Take care of the vulnerable."

Earlier, on the 29th, Nam Hee-seok publicly criticized on his Facebook, "On Radio Star, when a guest speaks, Kim Gu-ra turns his back and frowns if it doesn't suit his taste," and said, "It's a very inconsiderate attitude."

Although Nam Hee-seok immediately deleted the post afterward, screenshots have been spreading on social networks (SNS) such as his Facebook and Instagram.

In response, Nam Hee-seok left comments saying, "Sorry. This is a post I contemplated for over two years," and "There is a story behind it. I apologize for causing discomfort."

Meanwhile, Nam Hee-seok appeared on MBC's entertainment program 'Radio Star' in March 2017 alongside comedian Jo Se-ho and Nam Chang-hee.

Below is the full text of Nam Hee-seok's Facebook post.

Hey... Sudden, abrupt? No.

This is a post after watching and contemplating for several years. You will understand if you look up the footage.

(The claim that I deleted it because it became controversial is incorrect. It was up for about 20 minutes, but I deleted it before the controversy because the writer was worried. I already knew it had spread.)

If there is any rebuttal, I will organize a few points and post them. This is a public broadcast matter, and I am not in personal contact.

I can understand if this situation is humorously wrapped up on 'Radio Star' with something like "I won't turn my back anymore."

He rose to fame through sketch comedy and appeared on 'Radio Star,' but after being utterly humiliated and losing his self-esteem at night, seeing the juniors who came to me, he should not behave like that. Take care of the vulnerable.
