‘Questions by Son Seok-hee’ will summarize the aftermath of the impeachment live.
On the 8th at 9 PM, MBC's current affairs program ‘Questions by Son Seok-hee’ (hereafter ‘Questions’) will feature a debate with Yoo Si-min, Geum Tae-seop, Kim Hee-won, and Heo Min.
‘Questions’ began this season on the evening of Lunar New Year, January 29th. At that time, the impeachment trial was in full swing, and the heated debate between Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo and writer Yoo Si-min in the first episode became a hot topic. The program achieved a rare 8.6 percent viewership rating for a debate show, reflecting the audience's intense interest.
In the two and a half months since then, the president who had been imprisoned was released, and as the Constitutional Court's decision was delayed, voices for and against impeachment clashed in Korean society. The final decision that emerged was the removal of the sitting president.
‘Questions’ returned in January after being introduced as a summer special last July, unraveling the process of presidential impeachment through interviews and discussions. Of course, it also did not miss out on various figures who have supported the identity of ‘Questions’, including director Bong Joon-ho, professor Choi Jae-cheon, actress Bae Doona, chef Ahn Sung-jae, and drama writers Kim Eun-hee and Kim Eun-sook. Now, as ‘Questions’ approaches the end of the season, it will once again summarize the aftermath of the impeachment live.
Throughout the discussions related to impeachment, writer Yoo Si-min, Korea Herald News Standard Director Kim Hee-won, lawyer Geum Tae-seop, and former Culture Daily reporter Heo Min have consistently held their panel seats and will appear again to evaluate the impeachment and discuss early elections in the continuation of the discussions so far.
On April 8th at 9 PM, curiosity grows about what analysis MBC’s ‘Questions’, encompassing progressives, centrists, and conservatives, will present.
Meanwhile, ‘Questions’ was originally planned for 10 episodes but will conclude with 11 episodes after adding one more. The content to be aired on the 15th will be ‘Trump's America’. Despite facing immediate tariff bombs, the discussion on ‘Trump's America’ was pushed outside the agenda due to the martial law situation. This time, familiar American experts who are difficult to gather in one place will appear.
