'Running Man' is involved in plagiarism in 449th episode that presents Esom and Shin Ha Kyun as guest star. This SBS Program Finally Officially Apologizes To Webtoon Writers.

"Running Man" some time ago was involved in the problem of webtoon plagiarism. On the 453th episode which aired on Sunday (26/5), the SBS program which was given by Yoo Jae Seok cs was officially released an apology.

The apology read, "We producer 'Running Man' deeply apologized to the author Bae Jin Soo for applying the concept and flow of the 'Money Game' webtoon to episode 449 without asking for prior approval. We will do our best to prevent this from happening again . "

In addition, the production team will also delete all parts of the episode accused of plagiarizing the "Money Game" on the VOD streaming service. Naver Webtoon has been negotiating with SBS as a representative of writer Bae Jin Soo.

"The elimination of content is something we very much ask for. The wider the spread of content after broadcast, the greater the damage caused to the original author, because he has not received proper compensation," said Naver.


"We are happy to be able to reach an understanding with SBS peacefully. This kind of copyright infringement can happen to any writer, not just the writer Bae Jin Soo, so we will continue to do our best to protect the copyright of the author, the most basic right for the writer." said Naver Webtoon's business department leader, Kim Shin Bae.

The author Bae Jin Soo who worked on "Money Game" also spoke up about this agreement. "I think this is very meaningful when I receive an official apology. I hope there will be no more cases of webtoon content being used without permission when the author's blood and tears have entered into the making of the work," the author Bae Jin Soo said.
