Cho Soo-bin's management office said, "There is no truth to the fact that he received an offer to be the host of 'History Journal That Day.' We have no idea what kind of discussions took place within KBS regarding this matter.
"Above all, we regret that this report described Cho Soo Bin as a 'diplomatic transfer' and conveyed biased information from a special perspective," he said.

"History Journal That Day" has been in turmoil due to disagreements between the production team and the company, with rumors of the show being canceled and even the MC being replaced. Attention is now focused on the newly announced season, which has been reorganized.
