President Lee Jae-myung emphasized that "the amendments to the three broadcasting laws have recently passed the National Assembly, providing an institutional foundation for ensuring the fairness and independence of broadcasting."
On the 3rd, President Lee stated this through X (formerly Twitter) on the occasion of the 62nd Broadcasting Day. He added, "In the future, rational decision-making will be possible on this foundation, and the economic effects and efficiency will also significantly improve."
In addition, President Lee noted, "We will work with the National Assembly to solidify the institutional foundation so that broadcasting can play a pivotal role in Korea's economic leap and to strengthen financial support."
The amendments to the Broadcasting Act, the Broadcasting Culture Promotion Act, and the Korea Educational Broadcasting System Act, referred to as the three broadcasting laws, passed the National Assembly last month under the leadership of the ruling party. The opposition People Power Party condemned the three broadcasting laws as a "evil law for seizing broadcasting" and even conducted a filibuster.
