Columnist Jeong Seok-hee criticized intensely regarding broadcaster Lee Hwi-jae's return broadcast.
Columnist Jeong Seok-hee recently criticized Lee Hwi-jae's appearance on KBS 2TV entertainment program "Immortal Songs" through his YouTube channel "Jeong Seok-hee Television Review."
In the released video, Jung Seok-hee said, "If you say you're going to sing it and if you say you're going to come out, viewers have no choice but to watch it. "Immortal Songs" is a long-lived entertainment show that represents broadcasters. This has made it clear. The broadcaster is not interested in the audience's thoughts, he pointed out.
Lee Hwi-jae returned to the broadcast after four years with the appearance of "Immortal Songs" on the 28th of last month. Earlier in 2022, he suspended all activities due to a series of rumors, including inter-floor noise problems, unpaid toys from his wife Moon Jung-won, and YouTube back advertisements, and left for Canada with his family.

Jeong Seok-hee said, "In particular, KBS, a public broadcaster, can say that its owner is a viewer due to its structure, but the opinions of viewers are rarely reflected," adding, "In fact, I didn't answer much when anyone asked because I thought it would not be easy for (Lee Hwi-jae) to make a comeback." He said, "I tried to do the classic 'return three-piece set' with self-reflection, tears, and family at the forefront."
"But when I watched the broadcast on the 4th, it went too far. Kim Jun-hyun recommended that he sit in the host's seat, and Lee Hwi-jae sat there pretending that he couldn't win. Is it Kim Junhyun's unexpected behavior? "No. It's the production team's will to release it," he said. "Lee Hwi-jae said he declined because public opinion was not good, but the production team encouraged him. Isn't this a viewer's provocation. Is it a declaration that 'no matter how much you talk, the decision is ours?' "I don't know the public's emotions, but I don't know too much, it's a defeat and a handshake that only hurt each other," he said.
"If Lee Hwi-jae was a general trot program or health program, it wouldn't have been this loud," he said, adding, "It's frustrating who made such a stupid attempt."
