The SBS report titled 'Multi-homeowner Blue House Secretary Earns Monthly Rent from Unauthorized Extended Villa' received the August Democratic Press Practice Award presented by the National Union of Media Workers today (September 29).
In August, SBS reporters Go Jeong-hyeon and SBS A&T reporters Lee Byeong-ju and Park Seon-su reported that Kim Sang-ho, a multi-homeowner and head of the Blue House Chunchugwan, generated rental income from his own unauthorized extended villa.
The judges stated the reason for the award by noting that SBS exposed the issue of the Chunchugwan head possessing an unauthorized extended property, conducted sharp and meticulous verification of a high-ranking public official through thorough reporting, and ultimately laid the groundwork that led to the Chunchugwan head expressing his intention to resign.
