Ko Kwang-heon nominee vows to restore consensus at media and communications watchdog
Ko Kwang-heon (고광헌), nominee to lead the Broadcast Media Communications Deliberation Committee, said he would revive the spirit of consensus and build a panel focused on communication. He said sanctions issued under former chief Ryu Hee-rim resulted in 30 straight court defeats because a minority made decisions after selecting agendas arbitrarily. Ko also pledged to address about 170,000 pending telecommunications cases and listed operating principles including minimal regulation and zero tolerance for digital sex crimes.
