The Broadcasting Media and Communications Review Committee said on Wednesday it held an inauguration ceremony for its new chair, Ko Kwang-heon (고광헌), at the Broadcasting Hall press conference room in Seoul's Yangcheon district.

In his inaugural address, Ko said he would make normalising the committee and restoring trust his top priorities. He said he would make the body an institution the public trusts, based on employees' sense of social responsibility and mission. He said he would objectively review past problems to identify responsibility and causes, and would correct distorted systems and procedures to push ahead with normalisation and trust recovery.

He also said he would run the deliberation process in a thoroughly independent manner and disclose results transparently. He said he would uphold deliberation principles and independence by reaching reasonable conclusions through sufficient deliberation and debate in line with the spirit of a consensus-based body.

He said he would pursue personnel innovation, including swiftly stabilising the organisation and establishing a personnel system based on fair and transparent standards.

On reviews of illegal content, he emphasised that expanding electronic deliberations and using AI technology would establish a rapid and efficient response system from detection and analysis to blocking for illegal information such as deepfake sexual exploitation material and gambling and drugs.
