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.

Broadcast media watchdog elects Kim Woo-seok as standing member despite union opposition

The Broadcast Media Telecommunications Review Commission held a plenary meeting in Seoul on March 23 and elected commissioner Kim Woo-seok as a standing member. His election had failed once at an earlier meeting amid objections over his role in leading heavy sanctions on government-critical coverage under a former chief. Some members protested and a union branch urged him to resign. The commission has nine members and elects three standing members by vote for three-year terms.
