The board of directors of the Korea Broadcasting System (KBS) selected candidate Lee Taehyun as the nominee for the 28th president of KBS.

On the 20th, the KBS board held an extraordinary meeting and conducted final interviews with three candidates recommended by the National Recommendation Committee for the President on the 17th. Following a vote, Lee Taehyun was selected as the candidate to be nominated for appointment. Candidate Lee Taehyun received votes from at least three-fifths of the 10th directors in attendance. At today's board meeting, Lee Kang-deok and Jang Han-sik, directors recommended by the People Power Party who were appointed on the 19th, newly joined, bringing the total number of participating directors to 10. However, Director Lee Kang-deok and Director Jang Han-sik requested a postponement of the vote; their request was not accepted, and they left just before the voting took place.

Candidate Lee Taehyun graduated from the Department of Philosophy at Korea University and joined KBS as a producer in 1994. He has served as Director of the KBS Content Business Division, Representative Director of (Ltd.) Content Wave, and Director of HanamMoon Hwa-jae-dan (CEO).

The selection of the 28th president of KBS was made after an open recruitment announcement in September last month. The process involved document reviews of 28 applicants and intermediate interviews with 10 candidates. Subsequently, a National Recommendation Committee for Candidates consisting of 205 citizens conducted evaluations of business plan presentations and deliberative discussions on five candidates in sequence.

KBS plans to send an official letter requesting the nomination for appointment to the relevant institutional investor. Candidate Lee Taehyun will undergo the personnel hearing procedure of the National Assembly in accordance with Article 50, Paragraph 2 of the Broadcasting Act, Article 65-2 of the National Assembly Act, and the Personnel Hearing Act, among others. If the personnel hearing Lee Hu (President) appoints him, he will begin his term as the 28th president of KBS.
