JTBC, which exclusively broadcasts the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, apologized for the accident of transmitting long-term graphics in the process of transmitting live intermediate advertisements for women's curling Korea-Japan match.

JTBC posted an apology on its official website on the 16th and said, "The Japanese flag graphic was temporarily exposed to the advertisement screen during the transmission of a live broadcast of the curling Korea-Japan match at around 11:23 p.m. on the 15th," adding, "We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to viewers by the production team's negligence."

He added, "We will strengthen the inspection and management system to prevent recurrence."

The transmission accident occurred during a live broadcast of the fifth round of the women's curling round robin between South Korea and Japan at Cortina Curling Stadium in Italy on the 15th. After the end of the 5th end, a long-term graphic was sent out for about 10 seconds during the interim advertising time.

In response, caster Sung Seung-hyun hurriedly apologized, saying, "An unexpected graphic went out during the advertisement," and "It was a scene that should not be sent to you in general," but the wavelength grew out of control.

Meanwhile, the Korean women's curling team, which beat Japan 7-5, will play China in Game 6 early on the 17th.
