The quote-retweets on this post are way too awful, so please let me say one thing. ⚠️You are all having a huge misunderstanding about how Japanese TV news works, and you are directing your criticism at the completely wrong target. I am Japanese. I watched this show, as well as the broadcasts on other Japanese TV channels. In Japanese TV news and morning shows, the TV station itself independently edits the footage to fit into a very limited airtime. It is an absolute rule in Japanese television that. While the live concert footage is provided by the agency, the TV station's staff decides and produces everything regarding which clips to cut out, who to focus on, and what kind of captions (telops) to put on screen. I will attach reference URLs (in Japanese) at the end of this post. There is absolutely NO WAY that "the agency intentionally withheld footage of specific members." The "©JYP Entertainment" watermark in the top left corner simply means that JYP provided the official concert footage (raw press material) to the TV station. That is all. JYP (Div1) has zero involvement in the editing process, such as deciding which member gets a close-up or whose name/age caption appears on screen. For news and entertainment segments on Japanese morning shows, as a rule, the agency (JYP) does NOT preview or approve the edited video before it airs. This is because the "editorial rights" belong entirely to the TV station. JYP’s role ends at distributing the press release (concert report) and the official press footage (EPK) to the media outlets. Under Japanese broadcasting practices, an agency is never allowed to censor or demand revisions to a news segment before broadcast once the press material has been provided. Therefore, if you really cannot accept how it was aired, please complain directly to the Japanese TV station. Attacking JYP (Div1) is completely barking up the wrong tree. Many international fans watch Japanese TV news with the same mindset as Korean music shows or official YouTube content (where the agency handles the editing and captions), which leads to this kind of misguided criticism. I am posting this because I really want you to understand at least this much. I am also strictly against any agency discriminating against or mistreating members within a group. However, when it comes to the outrage over this specific broadcast, I have to speak up against them being condemned this harshly based on completely baseless assumptions. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this long post😊 Reference URLs (Japanese): 🔗pencre.com/zyouhoubangumi-se… 🔗oshihaku.jp/nenkan/page/1437… 🔗blog.kmcpr.co.jp/tvpr1
