Target: Park Min, CEO – Korean Broadcasting System
Goal: Implement strict regulations against animal abuse in film and television productions.
Recent developments in the entertainment industry have sparked public outrage, particularly concerning the historical drama “The King of Tears, Lee Bang-won.” Reports of alleged animal abuse during the production have raised serious concerns about the welfare of animals used in film and television. These allegations, if confirmed, reflect gross negligence and violation of animal rights, demanding immediate attention and action.
In 2022, this drama faced severe backlash for purportedly mistreating animals on set. Although production resumed post-issue resolution, the incident stained the industry’s reputation. It highlights a critical gap in the existing regulatory framework governing animal welfare in entertainment. The reported incident involved not just minor oversights but alleged acts that, if true, could constitute cruelty. This situation, therefore, is not merely about rectifying a single case but about setting a precedent for future productions.
Legal action against those responsible for the alleged animal abuse in “The King of Tears, Lee Bang-won” is imperative. It would serve as a deterrent for future violations and ensure that entertainment production adheres to ethical standards. Demand the implementation of stringent regulations and oversight mechanisms to prevent such incidents. The entertainment industry must respect and uphold animal rights, ensuring their safety and well-being.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Park Min,
We are writing to express our deep concern over the alleged animal abuse incident in the historical drama “The King of Tears, Lee Bang-won.” These allegations, if substantiated, highlight a severe lapse in the ethical treatment of animals in entertainment. We urge you to take immediate action to investigate these claims and to hold those responsible accountable.
The reported mistreatment of animals during the production of this drama has caused public outrage and dismay. It is not just about a single incident; it reflects broader issues within the industry. We need to ensure that such alleged abuses are not overlooked or dismissed but are thoroughly investigated and addressed. This situation necessitates a reevaluation of the policies and regulations governing the use of animals in entertainment.
Therefore, we demand the establishment of stricter guidelines and monitoring systems to prevent animal abuse in film and television productions. These measures should include mandatory training for staff, regular inspections, and severe penalties for violations. Ensuring the welfare of animals used in entertainment is not just a legal obligation but a moral imperative.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

I’ll not be watching any Korean movies until this industry develops a standard of care for everyone on set. Period. There’s enough content to consume without supporting cruelty of men. And it is men here who do this. Where are your Korean women filmmakers? They aren’t as likely to be abusers #4b
