The ruling People Power Party (PPP) of the Republic of Korea has launched several intimidatory public and legal attacks against public broadcaster Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), accusing the outlet of misreporting President Yoon Suk-yeol’s remarks during a trip to New York. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins its affiliate, the Journalists Association of Korea (JAK), in condemning the censuring of MBC and other Korean media in a clear violation of press freedom.
