I was looking forward to this b/c of Kei & Sojung, but then

I seriously wonder if he has some good family connections or instinct to kiss excessively the right asses. Prob men who make the crucial decisions are just as awful as him and willingly put one of them in conditions they would really be happy about aka in the middle of young girls...

I think you might have hit the nail right on the head. Old men who are the heads of these broadcast stations would love the "humour" of someone like this dude.
