Actress Kim Bu-seon used an MBC morning-show interview to advocate legalising cannabis and challenge the treatment of entertainers accused of using it. The interview drew criticism from viewers and calls for a broadcaster apology. Her statements about cannabis and medicine were advocacy claims, not a change in law or a medical finding.[1]
