Chapter 179: Public Opinion Exploded

Officially broadcast around. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In order to create a good impact for this show, JTBC deliberately adjusted the time slot and put this show in the prime time of 8 pm.

At first, the audience wondered why a documentary program would be placed in the time slot of the TV series.

But as the show unfolded, the audience was silent. But in everyone's heart, there is an endless amount of anger accumulating.

At the beginning of the show, the content of this issue was explained through a blurred lens.

The program team received a report that the Sewol steamship departing from Incheon to Jeju Island had a large number of safety hazards that would endanger the safety of passengers.

For the purpose of exploring the facts, the program team is about to set off on this ship, and invited experts from all walks of life to make a comprehensive evaluation of this ship.

As soon as they heard such a conclusive content, many viewers widened their eyes and were aroused by curiosity.

Some of the people who took the Sewol to and from the two places were even more frightened, staring at the television.

This is the boat they often take, and if there is a safety hazard, wouldn't it......

Soon, the group boarded the boat in the show.

With small cameras hidden in different positions, such as in bags and glasses frames, the audience began to show everything on board.

And the anger of the audience also began at this time.

When the announcement was made that the ship was about to depart, a reporter deliberately approached the crew and started talking.

"According to today's weather forecast, the waves are very large, and they are accompanied by gusts of wind, is there no problem going to sea?"

"Our ship is big, there are no problems."

"Isn't it twenty o'clock sharp? Why did you leave at 19:35? ”

"Leave early and arrive early, it's evening anyway, it doesn't matter if it's early or late."

The audience watching the show was in an uproar, and they couldn't believe that the ship's staff actually said this.

Didn't set off on time, didn't take into account the weather conditions. Even the most ignorant of ocean transport knows that this is a big taboo.

When the ship began to sail on the vast sea, the people and experts of the program team shuttled around the ship to conduct more in-depth exploration.

But the experts' field trips made the audience even more chilling.

"The deck corridor is cut off, and there should have been a safe passage to the deck. But we see, now it's all converted into guest rooms. The passengers wanted to go up to the deck, but there was only a narrow staircase on the other side. In the event of an accident on a ship, many passengers in the cabin are unable to escape quickly. ”

"Professor, do you mean that the ship has been modified?"

"Well, not only is the safe passage being utilized, but we can also see that the number of lifeboats has not increased. And there should have been an emergency jet ski at the back of the bridge, but now it's gone. ”

What does it mean that there are more passengers on board, but not the number of lifeboats, and there is a lack of safety rescue measures?

Everyone who saw this scene clenched their fists, and they couldn't imagine how the lives of the hundreds of people on board could be guaranteed.

At the same time, another group of centaurs was given even more startling facts.

"According to the information we received from the port handling department, today the ship is carrying 2,300 tons of cargo. But what we know is that the maximum load of the Sewol is only 987 tons. That is, at this time the ship was operating overloaded on the vast and icy sea. Danger can happen at any time, and it's all around us. ”

The ships have been modified, then overloaded, and there is a serious shortage of life-saving equipment, and these three circumstances alone are enough to make people jaw-dropping.

But then the program team learned about the situation, which made the audience shudder.

There was a reporter waiting outside the cab, and when the young man who had been driving inside came out of the shift, he went up and set it up.

And through the reporter's inquiry, an astonishing fact was exposed.

Just now, the person standing in the wheelhouse and responsible for the navigation of the entire ship was actually only a first-class navigator.

In the man's words, the captain was not feeling well and was resting, so he was the one to drive the boat instead.

The audience in front of the TV was speechless, except for stammering.

The safety of hundreds of passengers on an entire ship was in the hands of a man with little sailing experience.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that such a terrifying fact could have happened in the field of sailing, which has strict requirements.

Subsequently, there were also chaotic situations such as the failure of the escape equipment to use, and the coast guard's distress call was never reached.

The show around me is undisguised, and all of them have been disclosed.

In this episode of the program, many units such as the South Korean shipping department, shipping company, and coast guard department were involved, and many problems were reflected from the inside out.

As soon as the first episode of the program was broadcast, public opinion on the Internet exploded.

"Oh my God, I can't believe it. I take the Sewol to Jeju Island every week. Such a ship, full of dangers, took me out into the open sea, and once something went wrong, what should I do? ”

"The people who run the boat are really lawless for profit, haven't they thought about what to do after something happens?"

"All of them are puppies who deserve to go to hell, but they are openly threatening the safety of innocent people. It is strongly recommended that the judiciary launch a formal investigation and give the public an account. ”

"People who do business only have money in their eyes, and people who manage only have benefits in their eyes, how can such a world give us peace of mind?"

"I swear I'll never be on a boat again, it's horrible."

"Yes, the reporter is standing next to the boat, telling the facts, and on the other side is the dark and boundless sea, and the feeling of being powerless once something happens is really suffocating."

"My child's school said that I would go to Jeju MT in April, and now seeing this news, I have to stop my child from going. I don't want to send him away with my own hands, but I can't welcome him back. ”

"My child is also from Danyuan School, so I have to do the same."

"Shouldn't the SEMO Group, which is suspected of operating illegally, be punished? Why let such a criminal group live well? ”

"Sure enough, it's JTBC, and it's President Son Seok-hee and Minister Park Jung-hyuk who are convincing. Those earthly waves who sing praises of virtue take a good look at what is the media that really thinks about the people. We don't live in a very safe world, right around us, because there is always a danger of our negligence and greed. ”

"From now on, I will only focus on JTBC, whether it is President Son Seok-hee or Minister Park Jung-hyuk, they are really trustworthy media people."

"It's really a good show around me, so I hope they can come to me and see if the environment in which I live is safe?"

In just one night, there was only one voice in the entire South Korean public opinion, and that was security.

The broadcast around him first detonated the enthusiasm of the audience and formed public opinion on the Internet.

Subsequently, various media also noticed this phenomenon and began to reprint and report it, which once again promoted the outbreak of public opinion.

By the next day, the matter had become the focus of heated discussions among the whole people.

Countless people have appealed on the Internet, asking government departments and judicial departments to stand up and investigate and respond to this matter.

Many more have scolded the SEMO Group and the South Korean Coast Guard, denouncing them for their misdeeds and inaction as a waste of taxpayers' money.

Regardless of the disturbances of the outside world, Park Jung-hyuk's goal was achieved anyway.

The first episode around me was broadcast, and it created 9% of the ratings, becoming the ratings champion last night.

Most importantly, through this show, JTBC was established on the moral and moral high ground all at once.

People who have been criticizing JTBC for being more entertaining in the past have to shut up at this time, and even stand up and applaud JTBC's approach.

It's just that JTBC is cool, but it's bitter for the South Korean government and related personnel.

"Minister, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Liu Zhenlong wants to talk to you."

Kim Young-chan walked in and handed the phone to Park Jung-hyuk.

When he heard that it was a call from the Ministry of Culture, Park Jung-hyuk knew that some people couldn't sit still.

He waved his hand and asked Kim Young-chan to withdraw, then thought about it again, took out his mobile phone and turned on the recording. Subsequently, the mobile phone sent in by Kim Young-chan was turned on publicly.

"Minister Yoo Jin-ryong, hello, I'm JTBC Park Jung-hyuk."

As soon as I heard his voice, it exploded over there.

"Ah, Minister Park Jung-hyuk, do you JTBC still have a holistic concept, and who allowed you to do such interviews and investigations? Messing around like this without asking for instructions, messing up the government's work plan, can you afford this loss? ”

Park Jung-hyuk sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and was not in a hurry at all, and waited until Liu Zhenlong finished roaring before replying.

"Minister Liu, we at JTBC are just broadcasters, just the media, so we only do what the media should do. As for the work of the government, we have no right to intervene in it. ”

"You ......"

Liu Zhenlong was annoyed for a while, and said viciously: "Minister Park, I advise you not to go your own way, understand the situation before doing things." Now I command you, from now on, to undo that damn show. And you, submit a review immediately. ”

Park Jung-hyuk laughed wordlessly for a while.

"I'm sorry, Minister Liu, have you been drinking? I admit that you are the head of the Ministry of Culture, but do you have the right to intervene in the production of our JTBC programming? Also, are you my chief? Am I obligated to state anything to you? ”

"Minister Park Jung-hyuk !!!!!"

There was only the sound of snoring and panting in the microphone.

"Are you not prepared for good persuasion? You JTBC have always been a broadcasting agency under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Culture. According to the regulations, the Ministry of Culture has the right to investigate, ban and stop your JTBC. You don't regret it!! ”

Park Jung-hyuk smiled even more happily.

"Hahaha, Minister Liu Zhenlong, I also want to remind you. In accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, JTBC has independent management rights and has the right to report according to the actual situation. In addition, we at JTBC also have the right to file a lawsuit for constitutional arbitration. Whether it is the National Assembly or the Supreme Constitutional Court, we are there for you. Minister Liu, do you want to try it? ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that Liu Zhenlong was caught in weighing the pros and cons.

I believe that at this moment, he must have scolded South Korea's fucking political system in his heart.

If it was a previously hierarchical society, how could a high-ranking official of a country like him allow a small minister of a television station to be so arrogant?

But now, just like Park Jung-hyuk's account, he knows that he may not be able to take advantage of this confrontation.

Time passed quietly, and Liu Zhenlong began to think about countermeasures. (To be continued.) )
