According to KBS and others, the Broadcasting Appearance Regulation Review Committee raised the regulation on Oh Young-soo from 'recommendation not to appear' to 'suspension of appearance' as of the 13th.

Oh Young-soo, who became popular as the 'Kkanbu grandpa' by appearing in the Netflix drama "Squid Game", was indicted without detention in 2022 after he was found to have forcibly molested a woman A while staying in the province for a theater performance in 2017.

Oh Young-soo denied the allegations, but was found guilty at the first trial and sentenced to eight months in prison and two years of probation. Oh Young-soo later appealed.

Meanwhile, KBS will hold a broadcast appearance regulation review committee on the 29th and conduct a review of Kim Ho-joong. Kim Ho-joong was arrested on charges of drunk hit-and-run on a road in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 9th and is under investigation.
