The Presidential Office spokesperson announced this through a press release in the evening. Earlier, the KBS board of directors passed the dismissal proposal for President Kim at an extraordinary board meeting in the morning and forwarded it to the Ministry of Personnel Management. Five opposition members claimed that the dismissal of President Kim was unfair and left the meeting just before the vote.



When the dismissal proposal was presented at the end of last month, the reasons for dismissal included ▲deterioration of management due to large-scale deficits ▲loss of leadership due to employees' demands for resignation ▲decline in public trust due to unfair and biased broadcasting ▲dereliction of duty and consistent lack of measures regarding separate collection of license fees ▲failure to report to the board in advance regarding labor-management agreements on employment stability, among others.
