Stars critical of gov't asked to shut up

Two stars have suffered the consequences of their political views critical of the Moon Jae-in administration: One lost his job and the other was criticized by some supporters of Moon. Singer JK Kim Dong-uk, best known for his 2002 mega hit song “Life Sentence,” was recently let go by the Ulsan-based broadcasting company UBC. For the past 10 years, he had been the MC of UBC's evening music show, “Open Art Stage Dran,” better known by the short name “Dran”. UBC fired him on Jan. 26, days after he appeared on a YouTube channel run by right-wing journalists. Disclosing his forced resignation from the TV show, Kim said on social media that he was not convinced by UBC's decision.
