Article: [Official] SBS Kim Soo-min 'Penthouse' season 2 controversy... SBS, "No Position"
Source: Sports DongA
On the 9th, announcer Kim Soo-min released a vlog-style video on her personal YouTube and revealed that she was going to make a special cameo in the drama 'Penthouse 2' and began practicing the script.
Because the scene was played in fast-forward, a lot of the dialogue from the script couldn't be heard well, however, a netizen posted on an online community, an edit of the video in slow speed and revealed Kim Soo-min's lines that she had read out loud as she spoiled the drama on the vlog.
**NOTE** The reporter actually revealed in the article the contents of the drama's script that Kim Soomin leaked but I've left that off the translation to avoid spoiling the drama further.
After the controversy grew, Kim Soo-min deleted all videos on her YouTube account including the vlog in question and turned her SNS private.
When reporter reached out to SBS for a statement on controversy, a rep stated, "we have no position."
Meanwhile, Kim Soo-min joined SBS as their youngest announcer in 2018 and has been in another controversy previously regarding her social media.
- [+6,357, -65] Wow, talk about a real nuisance;; and then she goes and turns her YouTube and Instagram privateㅋㅋ what a nuisance ㅉㅉ
- [+3,438, -107] I think the company is going to seriously penalize her. She basically spoiled the whole drama. This is not some drama with single-digits ratings but a drama with viewership ratings of more than 20%. This is a huge blow to the company's profits (a 15-sec ad in the drama alone is 10 million won so that's hundreds of millions of won per episode). I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a reduction in salary, a suspension or terminated from the company.
- [+2,444, -36] No...this isn't just her but a huge damage to actors and writers in the drama;; what was she thinking reading that in front of the camera?
- [+1,498, -39] I think she must've seriously hurt her headㅋㅋㅋㅋ. I hope she gets punished for her stupidity.
- [+1,311, -80] Why are broadcast announcers vlogging on YouTube anyway..
- [+307, -7] She didn't even apologize and turned her account private? ㅋㅋ. She's still a child ㅋㅋㅋ
- [+213, -3] So many people gathered and put in all their efforts for this drama...all that hard work shattered because of one personㅉ
- [+142, -3] She probably wanted to show off that she was in a popular dramaㅋㅋ.
