• Disney+ 'Fate War 49' Controversy Continues

It plans to ask Disney+ entertainment show "War of Destiny 49," which has been controversial over the death of a police officer, to delete it with an official apology.

On the 24th, an official from the National Police Agency told Star News, "We will respond by apologizing for the problematic episode of the Disney+ entertainment program 'Destiny War 49' and requesting that the program be edited and deleted."

According to officials, they are also discussing whether it is possible to respond through the Korea Communications Standards Commission.

The second episode of the Disney+ entertainment show "War of Destiny 49," which was released earlier on the 11th, caused controversy by using the expletive "knife bread." "Fate War 49" is a divine survival in which 49 fatalists, including shamans, physiognomists, scholars, and taros, gather to test their fate through various missions.

The "Fate War 49" team informed the deceased's birth time and death time along with a photo of a police officer who died, and then had the fatalists deduce. In response, a shaman said, "I saw a bandage first on this person. Don't you often call being stabbed a knife bread?" and Jeon Hyun-moo said, "I'm wearing a uniform and it's a knife bread." It's too direct," he replied.

The police officer in question was the late Lee Jae-hyun, a police officer who was a violent squad detective at the Seobu Police Station in Seoul, who died in August 2004 after being stabbed in the process of arresting Lee Hak-man, a suspect of assaulting a woman.

In the face of controversy over the use of the expression "knife bread" for dealing with the death of a police officer on duty in entertainment, the National Police Workplace Council (hereinafter referred to as the National Police Association) said in a statement, "We disparage the sacrifice of a public official who died while arresting a criminal in a recent broadcast program with the vulgar slang of "knife bread," and express deep anger and misery at the senseless behavior of the cast and crew who made it the subject of play. Death on duty is the pain of the sky falling for someone and a huge loss for the country. It was pointed out that it is an act of abandoning humanity and a clear secondary offense to the deceased and their bereaved families to induce laughter by describing it as "knife bread," which is the slang for criminals.

In response, broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo apologized through his agency, SM C&C, on the 23rd. Jeon Hyun-moo said, "First of all, I deeply commemorate the lives and hard work of all the deceased mentioned in the broadcast of 'Fate War 49', and I would like to express my condolences to the bereaved families. I feel a heavy responsibility for hurting the deceased and their bereaved families due to some of the expressions used in the broadcast. "No matter what the context was, we should have been more careful when referring to the deceased," he said.

Jeon Hyun-moo then said, "In the process of organizing the performers' remarks, Jeon Hyun-moo mentioned some words as they were, and did not fully examine the appropriateness of the expression. As a result, I take seriously the fact that I failed to do my best for the deceased. I sincerely apologize to the deceased and the bereaved families. In addition, I would like to apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable watching the broadcast. We will check internally to have stricter standards and responsibilities and make every effort to prevent recurrence," he added.
