SEOUL, March 20 — A South Korean presidential official has resigned following criticism of his comments about a 1988 knife attack on a journalist, which some media and lawmakers viewed as a threat against reporters critical of the government.
The comment, made at a luncheon with the presidential press corps, was apparently directed at a reporter for broadcaster MBC TV, media said. South Korea has a history of media censorship, which was particularly harsh during administrations led by former military officers from the 1960s to the 1990s. The conflict between Yoon’s office and MBC stemmed from a hot mic incident in 2022 when he was caught making insulting remarks at an event in New York.
