“Very rude to grandfather”… ‘TodayN’ PD’s attitude controversy → Rewatch suspended

MBC current affairs and culture program ‘TodayN’ production team was involved in a controversy due to their rude attitude, and VOD service has been removed. On the 2nd, the 2407th episode of ‘TodayN’ replay and VOD service were deleted from the official website and OTT platform.

It seems like action was taken due to the attitude and statements of the ‘TodayN’ PD becoming controversial.

In the MBC ‘TodayN’ corner ‘Isn’t It Nice’ broadcasted on the 1st, the story of a grandfather who built three houses while living in a remote mountain was featured.

On this day, a PD referred to as ‘City PD’ asked, after hearing that the main character built three houses, “You must have some money.

Are you wealthy?” they asked.

When the grandfather said he liked the loess room, the PD remarked, “I don’t usually go there.

I’m not at the age to appreciate loess rooms yet,” the PD remarked, provoking controversy. When the grandfather offered the oyster mushrooms he had grown, the PD said, “Everything is in Seoul’s supermarkets.

What’s different?” they responded.

Looking at the charcoal-grilled chicken the grandfather prepared, the PD said, “I only like chicken as fried chicken.

I only like fried stuff,” showing a rude attitude. Viewers who watched the ‘TodayN’ broadcast criticized, saying, “Change the city PD,” “Apologize to the grandfather,” and “The PD’s attitude is unpleasant.”
