The production staff of "Ask Me Anything Bodhisattva" told Edaily on the 1st, "It is true that we asked the families of the victims of the sinkhole to make an offer to appear on the show."

B, who made the offer to appear public, said, "Is it funny? Are you making fun of me? Is this incident something you feel is entertaining? There's mud on the faces of the panelists.
"Are you meeting within the bounds of common sense?" Mr. B continued, "Are there many people in broadcasting stations and media organizations who have unconventional ways of thinking?"
She continued, "Let's not tarnish the reputation of the reporters and writers who have worked so hard and paid close attention to this case. I've tried to be patient, but this is terrible."
In the show "Ask Me Anything Bodhisattva," hosts Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Soo-geun take on the roles of the "celestial bodhisattva" and "young boy," respectively, and offer advice to the people who appear on the show, as people with their own stories.
