A hero to some. A foul-mouthed conspiracy theorist to others. South Korea’s most controversial talk show host had his hit program taken off air, so now he has taken his massive following to YouTube. | AFP
So when a conservative administration took power in May last year, things got a little more difficult.
Officially, the state money was removed to allow the broadcaster to go private. But during the process, Seoul’s mayor warned darkly that TBS was going in the “wrong direction” and seemed “politically biased.”“They cut the entire budget of the broadcaster in order to get rid of a program they didn’t like,” Kim, who cuts an unusually rumpled-looking figure in stylishly well-groomed South Korea, told Agence France-Presse .
Kim and his cohosts’ expletive-laden conversations about South Korean politics proved a hit, especially with younger listeners. He was then able to leverage his success into his TBS deal in 2016.His rise coincided with well-documented disenchantment with legacy media in South Korea, which ranked 40 out of 46 countries in a 2022 poll on public trust in journalism by the Reuters Institute at Oxford University.
Kim “has a tendency to link something he does not understand directly to a conspiracy or manipulation,” Choi Seung-ho, former CEO of major broadcaster MBC, has said of the presenter.
