SBS apologized after controversy arose over the use of inappropriate hashtags during the reporting process on President Lee Jae-myung.

On the 21st, an SBS official told Star News, "We confirmed that some SNS posts contained inappropriate words and deleted the hashtag."

He then bowed his head, saying, "I will pay more attention to hashtag management," and "I apologize."

The controversy came shortly after the SBS liberal arts program "I Want to Know That" (hereinafter referred to as "G-R") apologized to President Lee Jae-myung, saying, "We confirmed that some of the reports at the time were different from the facts" about the allegations raised in the 2018 episode of "The Gangster and Power-Pataya Murder."

SBS News shared a link to the related article on its official account, announcing that the "GR" production team officially apologized to President Lee Jae-myung.

However, the post was controversial because it included the hashtag #Suspect #President #Lee Jae-myung #Lawyer #Supreme Court and others.

As the controversy spread, SBS deleted the post and expressed its apology.

Meanwhile, President Lee Jae-myung demanded an apology on his personal SNS on the 20th, saying, "Thanks to the miracle logic of producer 'G' and Kim Sang-joong's real acting, he was driven to a murder gang."

Since then, "GR" said, "The allegations of involvement between Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung and Seongnam International Mafia have been confirmed to be legally untrue," adding, "We apologize for raising suspicions without a clear basis, citing the fact that Lee Jae-myung was included in the list of lawyers at the time."
