Broadcast standards panel warns four business channels over stock open chatroom promotion
South Korea\'s Broadcast Media Communication Deliberation Committee issued a statutory sanction of caution to four business TV programmes for repeatedly showing QR codes linking to paid open chatrooms and guiding viewers to join. It said the content amounted to overt recruitment akin to a stock tip room and will be closely monitored. The panel also cautioned two home-shopping broadcasts for presenting a general food product like a health functional food.
