A broadcast official at the 98th Academy Awards said, "It is an issue that needs to be considered more deeply" about the controversy over the song "Golden" stopping its acceptance of the Oscar's theme song.

On the 16th (local time), U.S. media Variety unveiled an interview with Rob Mills, vice president of broadcasting at the 98th Academy Awards (Oscar).

Earlier, the Netflix film "K-Pop Demon Hunters" was honored with a feature animation award and a theme song award at the 98th Academy Awards held on the 15th (local time).

After winning the theme song award, Lee Jae took the stage with Mark Sonnenblik, Kwak Jung-gyu, Lee Yoo-han, Nam Hee-dong, and Seo Jeong-hoon, the composers of "Golden," and said, "When I was young, I was teased that I liked K-pop, but now everyone is singing our songs with Korean lyrics. I think this award is not about success but about undaunted power. Thank you very much," he said, shedding tears.

Later, composer Lee Yu-han opened the paper to express his feelings in advance, but music rushed the Red Card, and the microphone was muted. As such, some pointed out that the treatment was markedly different from other winners and that it was racist.

In response, Vice President Rob Mills said, "The first thing to look at while preparing for next year's awards ceremony is how to proceed with the acceptance speech. If you win the Oscar, the winners will be on stage, which could be one, or five or six. However, the time given to the winners is fixed."

"Considering this time, I might think about whether I should let just one person talk or how I talk backstage and broadcast live on social media. We need to look at all possibilities and find the most efficient solution," he said.

"It is particularly difficult to cut off someone's remarks in the middle," he said. "It is a moment that may be only once in a life for that person."

Rob Mills said, "We are also guiding that there is a set speaking time at the awards luncheon, but it is still not an easy problem. I don't know yet which solution will be most appropriate, but it is certainly an issue that needs to be considered more deeply," he added.

In addition, the "Golden" stage at the ceremony began with a performance of the Grim Reaper, which reminded people of a scene in the movie, followed by a dance performance performed by dancers wearing traditional Korean musical instruments, pansori, and hanbok, and filled the Academy Awards with the splendor of Korean culture.

As for the shortening of the song, "It was intentional. I omitted a line, but I think the feeling was conveyed through the overall flow and direction, he said. "I think the best role musical numbers can play is to make the audience want to watch the movie again. I think both stages went beyond just music and captured the emotions and atmosphere of the movie."
