The KBS PD Association is the KBS branch of the Korea PD Federation. It includes PDs from the first union, the conservative-leaning KBS Labor Union, and the second union, the progressive-leaning KCTU-affiliated Media Union KBS Headquarters. The KBS Reporters Association is also conducting a vote among its members from today until the 26th to ask for opinions on President Kim’s resignation.
