KBS 2TV's 'Entertainment Weekly', which was under fire for an error in the show's subtitles, released an official apology through the show's homepage.
The production crew of 'Entertainment Weekly' put said apology under the title 'This is the production crew of Entertainment Weekly' in the Viewers' Thread on the show's official homepage on the evening of the 28th.
In this apology, they showed their remorse for their mistake by saying, "There was an error regarding the names of the members of the group TVXQ in the '2009 Star Survey' corner which was aired on the 26th. We will make sure an incident like this will never happen again."
In this segment of 'Entertainment Weekly' that was aired on the 26th, the production crew was under fire for putting out subtitles that read "Xiah Junsu, Choikang Changmin and Meecky Yoochun filed a lawsuit against their agency". They made the mistake of putting Choikang Changmin's name instead of YoungWoong Jaejoong when reporting this news.
After the airing of the show, many people, mostly TVXQ fans, demanded an apology from the program.

They worked so hard to get where they stand today, got through depression, and even spend time on learning japanese, yet getting their pride taken away from them by people who just calls them hallyu stars.

Date: 2009-12-31 05:52 am (UTC)Actually they way they wrote it was 미키 (Mi Ki) while the proper way to write it is 믹키 (Mik Ki) so there isn't really that much difference in Korean, just a longer 'i' sound and a pause between the k.
Them getting members mixed up is probably worse don't you think? LOL
