KBS News9 anchor Park Jang-beom (54, photo) was nominated as the 27th president of KBS.
The KBS board of directors held a temporary board meeting on the 23rd and decided on candidate Park Jang-beom as the final candidate for president after an interview screening and voting. Accordingly, on this day, the KBS Board of Directors sent an official letter to the Ministry of Personnel Management recommending the appointment of President Yoon Seok-yeol.
Candidate Park is currently serving as the anchor of News 9, KBS’ main news. In the past, news plazas, late-night discussions, and Sunday diagnosis were held. If appointed by the president after a National Assembly personnel hearing, he will become the first 9 o’clock news anchor-turned-president of KBS. The term of office for the 27th KBS president is three years, from December 10 to December 9, 2027.
Previously, Candidate Park was in charge of hosting ‘Special Talk to the President’s Office’, a solo interview with President Yoon Seok-yeol that aired on KBS 1TV on February 7 this year. At the time, while interviewing President Yoon, Candidate Park mentioned First Lady Kim Kun-hee’s suspicion of receiving luxury bags and said, “So-called pouches, small bags from foreign companies,” drawing criticism from the opposition party and others for intentionally trying to downplay the issue.
Candidate Park said, “I think it is inappropriate to call imported luxury goods luxury goods” as to why he did not use the expression ‘luxury goods’ during the broadcast during the presidential candidate interview on this day. Regarding calling the controversial bag a ‘pouch’ or a ‘small bag’, he said, “The principle is to use the name given by the manufacturer, but the product in question is (named) ‘Dior Pouch.’” He added, “However, the pouch is a ‘bag.’ He explained, “Because it is a less used term compared to ‘, it is expressed as ‘small bag’ in Korean.”
