Media should stop selling other people's private lives - Park Yuchun mentioned

From the panel discussion, "the reports of celebrity related crimes, what are the problems of this matter"

Yoon Tae Jin, Prof. of Yonseo Univ. (Graduate School of Communication and Arts) pointed out that "the reason why the reports related to celebrities being accused of sexual assaults have been produced with outrageously large quantity is for 'selling no. of clicks' by the press" and "the media should stop disguising as 'the-rights-to know of the national citizens while fulfilling the vulgar curiosity of the public on other people's sex lives."

In this panel discussion, the criticisms came out on the usual pratices of the media that they are careful of revealing the names or faces for 'public figures' while having no hesitation for revealing the names of 'open figures' such as entertainers or sports stars.
