The Korean Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) recently released a report that criticized several of South Korea's radio broadcasters for using non-Korean words in their broadcasts.
Specifically, the KCSC criticized their use of English words such as "nice" and "activity" when a similar Korean word could have been substituted in its place.
"There is a need for a concerted effort to use our own language when a Korean word exists that could replace a foreign word with the same definition," the KCSC concluded.
Other than the above issue, the KCSC also frowned upon excessive use of non-formal banmal in certain broadcasts. "Even though you might have a personal relationship with other people on the air, caution must still be used when using banmal in broadcast, and even more careful when using it with normal citizens."
Do you think these are appropriate criticism of a radio broadcast?
