Prompted by the author’s 2018-09-17 post “Do you know why TBS reports in an anti-Japan way?” ranking No.1 on Ameba search, this entry republishes a chapter originally posted on 2017-06-22.
Framed as a former TBS employee’s account, it describes how alleged pressure from Chongryon led TBS to create an exam-free “Zainichi hiring channel,” and how newsroom staffing and editorial control supposedly shifted over decades from the 1960s through the 2000s.
It argues that this structure explains persistent biased editing and overt anti-Japan narratives across major outlets, extending the claim to NHK and TV Asahi, and warns of an internal corrosive force likened to “a worm inside the lion’s body.”

A chapter I posted on 2018-09-17, titled “Do you know why TBS reports in an anti-Japan way?”, has now surged to an overwhelming No.1 in Ameba’s search rankings.
A chapter I posted on 2018-09-17, titled “Do you know why TBS reports in an anti-Japan way?”, has now surged to an overwhelming No.1 in Ameba’s search rankings.
Below is a chapter I published domestically on 2017-06-22, titled “In vivid detail: How TBS, under Chongryon’s sophisticated pressure, created an exam-free Zainichi Korean hiring channel and was gradually taken over by Zainichi Koreans.”
In this chapter lies, perfectly and completely, every reason why the reporting of TBS, TV Asahi, and NHK is edited so brutally and broadcast so overtly in an anti-Japan manner.
It explains perfectly why the biased reporting of NHK, TBS, TV Asahi, and even the Asahi Shimbun is so harsh and so relentless.
Because people who carry the DNA of a country of “bottomless evil” and “plausible lies” have come to dominate the news divisions of TV stations, especially programming, and have become editorial commentators.
I regret, a little, that I did not republish this chapter again and again.
These were facts the Japanese people did not know, so there was no way the world could have known them.
Yet the reality in places in the United States that install comfort-women statues is exactly the same as the reality revealed by this chapter.
In other words, this chapter shows that similar operations are conducted worldwide, and that there are people around the world who are controlled by them.
Do you know why TBS reports in an anti-Japan way.
A monologue by a former TBS employee.
“Let me tell you how our network ended up like this.”
It records in vivid detail how TBS, under Chongryon’s sophisticated pressure, created an exam-free Zainichi Korean hiring channel and was gradually taken over by Zainichi Koreans.
(1) The 1960s and beyond.
Soon after television broadcasting began, even small wording issues on air (for example, calling the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” ‘North Korea’) triggered repeated protest actions from Chongryon that were close to threats, directed at the company and even the private homes of senior executives.
They even showed up at executives’ homes with a yakuza-like appearance.
As a “settlement” to those protests, a “Zainichi quota” was quietly created within the hiring framework.
Centered on the children of Chongryon leaders, hiring without an entrance exam (a mere formality interview) continued every year.
The station, asking Chongryon to keep this secret agreement hidden from the supervising authorities, only gave them further leverage, and with amateurishly soft 대응, the company gradually lost its freedom of action.
(2) The 1970s and beyond.
A deranged era in which public opinion applauded as long as you attacked the government.
Executives, mistaking Zainichi employees’ “anti-Japan programs” for “the pen’s battle against power” or “investigative journalism,” actively promoted Zainichi personnel inside the company.
They preached idealism such as “there must be no discrimination in promotion between Japanese employees and Zainichi employees,” but in hindsight, the failure to discriminate in promotions was naïve.
Zainichi employees who rose to section chief and department head positions thoroughly implemented reverse-discriminatory personnel practices that unreasonably favored naturalized second-generation Zainichi.
Japanese employees who objected were thoroughly marked and pushed out of the front lines of program production into sales or general affairs.
(3) The 1980s–1990s.
Promoted Zainichi employees occupied decisive posts such as producers of major news programs and heads of the news bureau.
The program News 23, which brought in Tetsuya Chikushi, a Zainichi Korean editor-in-chief of a certain leftist weekly magazine, as its anchor, gained high ratings thanks to support from viewers of the baby-boomer generation who had been deeply involved in student movements in their youth.
In the 1989 House of Councillors election, the station thoroughly supported the “Doi Socialist Party” and the “Madonna Boom” through an “anti-consumption tax campaign.”
They reported Prime Minister Uno’s scandal day after day, and openly backed the Socialist Party by consistently calling the party leader of Zainichi Korean background “Otaka-san.”
The Socialist Party won a landslide victory.
They broadcast emotional reports declaring, “The mountain moved.”
(4) The 1990s–2000s.
A succession of scandals erupted that could negate the very existence of the broadcaster as a news organization, including biased reporting, fabricated reporting, and providing reporting information to particular forces.
Compared with the Asahi Shimbun, also labeled “leftist,” and its affiliated TV Asahi, which tended to reflect “Beijing’s intent” and whose methods were meticulous and calculating for better or worse, our station’s many troubles in this period were almost all tied to the Korean Peninsula.
The content of the scandals was also crude and ad hoc, beginning with the Aum incident in which the station helped a Korean cult involved in executing terror.
After the bubble burst and the economy stagnated, already-strained advertising revenue became heavily dependent on consumer finance and pachinko.
In short, our broadcaster was being run by Zainichi Koreans with funds from Zainichi Koreans.
After 2005, I believe program production would be carried out in an even more blatant way to “manufacture” Zainichi stars.
Thus, every TV station continued, year after year, to hire Zainichi Koreans without entrance exams.
Of course, Zainichi Koreans would obtain Japanese family registries and enter under Japanese names.
They were所谓の “impostor Japanese.”
As those Zainichi Korean employees were promoted, from 1980 onward they began to take posts with decisive power, such as producers of major news programs and news bureau directors.
In other words, each TV station has been taken over by Zainichi Koreans.
As evidence, we have seen the fabrication of the Korean Wave boom and relentless pro-Korean programming pushed across television.
Feeling fear, TBS thereafter continued every year to hire Zainichi Koreans without entrance exams.
Having tasted success with these threats, Chongryon then bullied other TV stations and newspaper companies the same way it did TBS, forcing them to create Zainichi quotas.
NHK is the same.
In this way, Japan’s TV stations came to be dominated by impostor Japanese — Zainichi Koreans.
The Zainichi who have come to control Japan’s media are “a worm inside the lion’s body” within Japanese society.
A worm that lives inside the lion, receives the lion’s benefits, yet eats the lion’s flesh and ultimately brings the lion to death.
In other words, those who do harm from inside an organization, and those who repay kindness with betrayal.
Why can they not understand that when the lion dies, the worm also dies.
Media dominated by Zainichi are stoking fear of war, intensifying moves to undermine and force the resignation of the Abe administration.
And then, at a TBS entrance ceremony, the TBS president made a shocking remark.
If the president of TBS holds such views and speaks that way, then Japan is finished.
Unless they become a truly decent Japanese business leader, they are disqualified as a news organization.
Can this still be called a news organization.
