President Lee Jae-myung mentioned the situation of a broadcaster's "Olympic exclusive broadcast."

President Lee said at the 6th Cabinet meeting held at Cheong Wa Dae on the morning of the 24th, "Even with the determination and performance of our players, there is a regret that social enthusiasm has not been sufficiently heightened compared to past international competitions."

At the same time, he added, "It is necessary to improve the system that broadly guarantees the accessibility of our people to international events."

President Lee also said, "The 2026 Cortina Winter Olympics in Milan is over. "The hot challenge of all our athletes impressed and proud the people," he said, adding, "There was a valuable achievement in terms of sports diplomacy."

The 25th Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, which opened on the 7th and closed on the 23rd, was exclusively purchased by JTBC and broadcasted live. Unlike the previous Olympics, it was pointed out that the accessibility to the channel has decreased as the three terrestrial broadcasters did not broadcast at the same time.
