SBS' current affairs and culture program "I Want to Know (hereinafter referred to as "I Know") has officially apologized for raising the rumor of President Lee Jae-myung's involvement in gangs in eight years, but public opinion is cold.

On the 20th, "Gr" issued an official statement and bowed its head, saying, "We apologize for raising suspicions without a solid basis" in relation to the "Power and Gangster-Fataya Murder One Year After" episode aired on July 21, 2018.

"GR" raised suspicions of involvement between politicians and violent organizations in Seongnam, noting that Lee Jae-myung, then governor of Gyeonggi Province, was included in the list of lawyers for two members of Seongnam International Mafia in 2007.

"After launching an investigation, Bundang Police Station in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province sent the charges to the prosecution in November 2018 with the opinion of non-prosecution, and Seongnam Branch, which took over the case, disposed of non-prosecution in December 2018," explained "GR."

In addition, he added, "The Supreme Court confirmed a one-year prison term and two-year probation for lawyer Jang Young-ha, who claimed that candidate Lee received money and valuables from Seongnam International Mafia ahead of the 2021 presidential election."

"As a result, it has been confirmed that the alleged involvement between then-Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung and Seongnam International Mafia is not legally true," GR said.

President Lee's apology was made earlier on social media, saying, "I wonder if 'G' that created the rumor of Lee Jae-myung's involvement in gangster will report in the future, and if so, how will he report it?" "It's an excessive desire, but I want to hear an honest word that I'm sorry," followed by Cheong Wa Dae's official request for a later report.

"In the future, 'G' promised that SBS will strictly comply with the 'SBS Journalism Rules' enacted and implemented in 2024 to create accurate and objective broadcasts."

However, netizens' responses are cold. Netizens said, "Apologize on the air" and "Apologize on the same program in the same amount." To be fair", "Is it something to end with an apology? Point out are continuing, such as "Please mention it properly."
