TV Chosun revealed the reason for deleting the article about the late actor Lee Sun-kyun's will that was exclusively reported.
An official from TV Chosun's news department told Ten Asia on the 5th, "The reason we deleted the online article was at the request of the agency and in part to reflect the position of the bereaved family regarding the unfortunate incident as much as possible." He added, “It is difficult to reveal any more details because legal procedures such as filing a complaint have progressed.”
TV Chosun exclusively reported part of the contents of the late Lee Seon-kyun's will around 9 p.m. on December 27 last year. At the time, TV Chosun reported what Lee Sun-gyun said to his wife, Jeon Hye-jin, and the CEO of his agency, saying that this was the content in the memo before leaving home the day before his death.
There were voices of criticism related to this. It is pointed out that even though the bereaved family did not want the deceased's will to be reported or known to the outside world, the contents of the will were made public.
Afterwards, on the 4th, TV Chosun deleted online articles and videos that revealed the contents of the late Lee Seon-gyun's will.
