Controversy has arisen after it was reported that a video featuring Kim Eojun, a YouTuber known for his pro-government stance, was played in the cafeteria of a high school in Busan.

According to a report by E-Today on October 24, a high school cafeteria in Busan screened the progressive YouTube program "Kim Eojun's News Factory: Humility Is Hard." As the show primarily criticizes the conservative bloc, opposition party lawmakers voiced strong objections.

Former party leader Han Donghoon stated, "Just as it would be inappropriate to play a Han Donghoon livestream during high school lunch hours, it is also unacceptable to force students to watch Kim Eojun's YouTube channel. That is just common sense. Forcing high school students to watch Kim Eojun's YouTube channel while eating will not turn them into Democratic Party supporters. In fact, watching such content during meals will only increase feelings of aversion and resentment."

Assemblyman Jeong Seongguk of the People Power Party also emphasized, "Educational neutrality is a basic principle that every school must uphold." He added, "An incident that should never happen in a school setting has occurred, raising social concerns. 'Kim Eojun's News Factory' represents the perspective of a particular political faction and ideology, and the program has sparked controversy due to its biased political claims."

He went on to say, "Education must remain independent from politics, ideology, and political factions under any circumstances. What our students need is not 'biased claims,' but the ability to think independently and make 'balanced judgments.' That is why educational settings always require careful attention and management."
