(CLO) South Korean TV station KBS has been sued by citizens for damaging a UNESCO-recognized cultural heritage site during filming.
According to Korean media, filming of KBS's “The First Night With The Duke” was recently halted, due to a complaint sent to Andong City Hall.

An architect visiting the Byeongsanseowon Confucian Academy discovered the film crew hammering nails into the monument's columns.
Notably, Byeongsanseowon Confucian Academy in Andong has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. The architect who witnessed the incident spoke out to complain.
KBS later apologized and said that the production team was given permission to film late last year and that during the installation of the props, a passerby said that it was impossible to hammer in the nail and hang the props at the protected site.
KBS acknowledged the severity of the situation and expressed regret for what happened at the filming location. The station stated that it is working to confirm the exact information about the incident and come up with the best plan for recovery efforts.
However, KBS's apology did not resolve public anger. On January 3, it was reported that a civilian filed a complaint against KBS at the Andong Police Station for violating the National Heritage Act, demanding severe punishment.
