• It's hard to edit the whole thing because of the "Tea Talk" format..Ratings Fall Despite a Drastic Cut in Volume

While singer Jo Gap-kyung is suffering from allegations of her son's private life, it has been confirmed that the production team of "Radio Star" has drastically reduced Jo Gap-kyung's amount 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 usually a structure in which the amount of talk is concentrated on the so-called "No. 1 guest" sitting in the front seat. However, the production team reportedly drastically reduced the amount of Jo Gap-kyung, the first guest, and distributed the portion relatively evenly to other guests such as Chae-yeon, Gauri, and Lee Chae-young, conscious of the controversy on this broadcast.

In fact, Jo Gap-kyung's talk lasted only about 6 minutes and 30 seconds out of an hour and 20 minutes long broadcast. Cho Kap-kyung filled the show with a confession of top star rickety (1 minute), anecdotes from his time as the representative 'military president' in the 90s (1 minute 15 seconds), episodes with fans (2 minutes 30 seconds) during his activities as a DJ at National Defense FM, and reminiscing about his 'original jade voice' (1 minute 45 seconds).

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.

Meanwhile, according to viewer rating research company Nielsen Korea, the 959th episode of "Radio Star" starring Jo Gap-kyung recorded a viewership of 2% (national standard). The figure is down 1 percentage point from the 3% recorded by the broadcast on the 25th of last month, and it is the lowest rating among this year's "Radio Star" viewership.

The former daughter-in-law, A, who claimed Cho Gap-kyung's son's affair, said on his personal account on the 2nd, after the broadcast, "I don't know me on the show while laughing and talking. Are you happy because it's something you can do if you don't know me. I'm also a precious daughter of someone else's precious child, and they have two daughters, do you know how they feel about dying?"

"Isn't it a family that doesn't know what's wrong with them even now?" he said. "So it's more frustrating and suffocating." "If I forget, I come out in my dream and bother me, but it remained a huge wound and a huge trauma for me," he appealed. Also, A said, "Make sure you get the crime of sitting on the sidelines even though you know it, the crime you did to me, and the crime of laughing and coming out of the broadcast like nothing for three years." I'm suffocating every day," he said.
