Singer Lee Mu-jin has not participated in 'Limousine Service', and now broadcaster Lee Soo-geun has also skipped the recording of 'Ask Anything'.
A KBS Joy representative stated on the 7th to Maeil Business Star Today, "Today's recording of 'Ask Anything' has been canceled, and we are discussing future schedules."
Previously, Xiumin's agency INB100 expressed strong dissatisfaction, stating that his appearance on 'Music Bank' was rejected.
On the 4th, Xiumin's agency claimed, "KBS unofficially conveyed that it would be difficult for SM artists, including Xiumin, to participate in programs," and added, "It is extremely unfair for a public broadcaster like KBS to make such a decision reflecting only the position of a specific company."
In response, KBS stated, "This is not true. We are continuously communicating with the agency."
However, MC Mong, co-founder of One Hundred, the parent company of INB100, expressed strong dissatisfaction on social media but later deleted the post.
As a result of the Xiumin incident, Lee Mu-jin and Lee Soo-geun, artists under Big Planet Entertainment, a subsidiary of One Hundred, also refused to appear on KBS programs and initiated a boycott. Lee Mu-jin skipped the web entertainment 'Limousine Service' on the 5th, and Lee Soo-geun did not participate in the recording of 'Ask Anything' on the same day.
