'Straight' will track People Power Party Lee Jin-suk (Rep.) and the franchise 'Nolbu'.

On the 30th at 8:30 p.m., MBC's 'Straight' will air an episode titled "They Trampled Over Again on the 18th" and "The Dark Side of Nolbu's Decline."

◆ Laying the Groundwork for a 'Far-Right' National Assembly

People Power Party Lee Jin-suk (Rep.) held a seminar at the National Assembly on the 13th with 'New History National Movement', distorting and disparaging the the 18th Democratic Uprising. While claiming to re-examine the 18th academically, the event was in fact characterized by blatant historical distortion, disparagement of victims, and glorification of perpetrators.

'Straight' first investigated the background behind Lee (Rep.) inviting forces that disparage the 18th under the guise of a seminar at the National Assembly, as well as the identities of attendees. In particular, it reported on Heo Hwa-pyeong, a key figure in the Chun Doo-hwan regime who attended the seminar as a special guest, and the reality of the Future Korea Foundation, where he serves as Lee (President).

Furthermore, the report examined issues with the current system, which fails to prevent or sanction lawmakers who repeatedly make statements denying democracy and constitutional order under the guise of seminars, public hearings, and press conferences at the National Assembly—the seat of public will—and how parliaments in other countries handle such situations.

◆ Yoon Suk-yeol and Han Dong-hoon's Photographer as CEO?

Once recording annual sales of 120 billion won, the first-generation food franchise 'Nolbu', which captivated national palates with bossam and budae-jjigae, filed for corporate rehabilitation at a court last month. What happened to the once-thriving 'Nolbu' brand?

'Straight' spoke with 'Nolbu' employees and franchise owners, who pointed to the current management as the primary cause of the company's decline. The most criticized figure was Kim Yong-woo, who has served as CEO leading the 'Nolbu' brand since the summer of 2024 and was formerly Yoon Suk-yeol Jeon (President)'s exclusive photographer. 'Straight' investigated how he became the head of a food franchise company.

The report also examined how Kim managed to maintain his CEO position while simultaneously serving as Han Dong-hoon, former People Power Party leader's exclusive photographer. Additionally, it thoroughly reported on NB Holdings, the major shareholder that brought Kim in as CEO, including its management practices and allegations of abuse that occurred within the company following NB Holdings' acquisition.
