During a recent interview, assemblywoman Choi Min Hee, who had proposed the ‘JYJ Law,’ explained in detail why she wants to create such bill, as well as why she borrowed the group name ‘JYJ’ for the title of her proposed bill.
When assemblywoman Choi Min Hee was asked why the name of the bill was named after idol group JYJ, she answered, “Members of JYJ went to court with their former agency and won the suit. This symbolizes a new rift within the entertainment industry. Putting emphasis on that meaning, we named it so that it would reinstate what’s stated in Article 85 of Broadcast Law.“
In response to the question, “What is the reason for making this law?” the assemblywoman replied, “Laws are made for citizens to use as a base, it’s not for them to lean on. However, there has to be a legal basis where the weak is protected as much as possible. Broadcasting law is the same. The whole world is screaming ‘win-win’ when it comes to partnerships, but only in Korea is there a hierarchy among the broadcasting station, producers, and the cast. We should break the tradition of forced efficiency. This bill was proposed so that we can correct wrongful actions and regain viewers’ rights.”
The interviewer then raised the concern of ‘devilish editing’ and questioned whether or not the production company would edit the episode to intentionally make the problematic idol or cast member look bad.
Assemblywoman Choi Min Hee replied, “That’s why the system has to change properly. Everyone has good will in their hearts. Taking the bill into consideration, we all have to try to prevent such an incident from happening. Once the ‘JYJ Law’ passes, it is to a person’s own discretion to make harmonious relationship with others. Personal issues have the upper hand when it comes to law and evoke more positive public sentiment, so they should be dealt with on a humane level.“
Meanwhile, Assemblywoman Choi Min Hee first proposed the ‘JYJ Law’ back in April 14 to prevent banning, or ‘blacklisting,’ specific entertainers and artists from appearing on broadcast without a justifiable reason.

JYJ3 
thank you and please, let’s see some action with this bill! things have to change.
Go Assemblywoman go. Hwaiting!!!!!!!
Go, lady, go! and don’t forget the examples of discrimination continue, so add them to your list: just the other day Junsu’s name was muted on a TV broadcast and only yesterday articles and positive comments on his Sympathy performance were erased, by whom and how?
and don ‘t forget to show them what they are missing by not showing on TV these most talented performer. Here is just one example:
Sorry, I meant Space Empathy, this is what happens when i write at 3.20 a m
Let’s hope this bill would correct the wrong doing, at least it is a start. Thanks to JYJ’s courage.
Choi Min Hee, thank you, and please make sure your bill has some teeth to it. A bill without any bite is just another piece of paper, and that won’t do anyone any good.
Like your comment. 100% true
