It has been confirmed that the production team of "Radio Star" has re-edited the appearance of singer Jo Gap-kyung, who was hit by a controversy over his son's private life, after the controversy.

According to a report by Star News on the 2nd, the production team of MBC entertainment program "Radio Star" aired Jo Gap-kyung's appearance on the 1st less than originally planned. It is understood that the decision was made to re-edit in consideration of the public opinion that has worsened due to the recent controversy over his son's affair.

As "Radio Star" is held in the form of "Tea Talk" with several guests, it is practically difficult to "edit" that completely removes only certain performers. Accordingly, the production team reportedly chose to reduce the amount through minimal editing while maintaining the overall flow.

It was also considered that the timing of the shooting was before the controversy surfaced. At that time, there were no stories related to privacy in the recording, and the controversy itself was not directly related to the broadcast content, so the production team reportedly struggled with the level of response.

Although there are differences in each episode, "Radio Star" is a structure in which the amount of talk is concentrated on the so-called "No. 1 guest" sitting in the front seat. However, in this broadcast, it was reported that the amount of Jo Gap-kyung, who was the first guest, was drastically reduced, and the rest of the guests, Chae-yeon, Gauri, and Lee Chae-young, were distributed relatively evenly. In fact, the amount of talk about Jo Gap-kyung was less than 10 minutes out of about an hour and 20 minutes of broadcast.

It was also an ambiguous issue to apply the 'complete editing' standard. Usually, if a performer is involved in a criminal act or is at the center of controversy, intense editing is made, but the production team had no choice but to take a careful approach because the issue is a personal matter for children who are already adults, not themselves. In the end, the production team chose a compromise called "minimum exposure" in consideration of the program format and viewer sentiment.

However, there is also a regret that MBC did not make a separate official position regarding the controversy. It is pointed out that communication with viewers is important as a terrestrial broadcaster, so a minimum explanation or statement of position was needed.
