During the meeting, MBC President Ahn Hyung Jun expressed his regrets for the suffering that artists had endured due to incorrect production practices and outdated methods in the past.
MBC president proposed a dialogue to establish progressive production practices with HYBE.
Over the past four years, there had been a hiatus in the exchange of artists and content between MBC and HYBE.
As a result, HYBE artists such as LE SSERAFIM and ENHYPEN couldn’t appear on MBC Show! Music Core.
During their meeting, President Ahn suggested to Chairman Bang, “Let’s rectify the flawed production culture that has long persisted between broadcasting companies and entertainment companies.”
