SEOUL: The broadcasting regulator on Friday approved a plan to appoint new board members for a controlling shareholder of a public broadcaster and two other public broadcasters. The plan was approved by Korean Communications Commission (KCC) Chairman Kim Hong-il and Vice Chairman Lee Sang-in, according to KCC officials. The approval came as opposition parties vowed to seek Kim's impeachment, citing a lack of transparency in the KCC. Munhwa Broadcasting Corp. (MBC) had filed a motion to exclude Lee from the decision-making process, but it was rejected. The three public broadcasters are MBC, Korean Broadcasting System and Korea Educational Broadcasting System. Source: Yonhap News Agency
