- In 2016, during the Park Geun-hye administration, its name was listed on the list of 'groups calling for the normalization of the KBS Reporters Association' (normalization group).[8]
- Political inclination is close to conservatism . He did not participate in the above-mentioned KBS Reporters Association normalization meeting list and the 2017 public broadcasting general strike.[9] , has been listed on the list of former president Kim Eui-cheol 's resignation statements in 2023 .[10] And judging by his absence from the statement opposing the appointment of new KBS president Park Jang- beom, he is showing a move that is close to conservative tendencies.
- At the time of the Sewol sinking , he held a one -person protest in Gwanghwamun Square against the president's report control and retaliation.[11]
- A special news report was conducted live broadcasting the announcement of the declaration of martial law during the December 3 civil war.[13]
- After the inauguration of News 9 main anchor in 2024 and the December 3 civil war , the pro-Democratic Party and progressive media became the main anchors of the three broadcasting companies.[14] gave the most negative evaluation. Other terrestrial anchors gave a closing message welcoming the impeachment, but KBS was in particular contrast by starting with the comment, "Now is the presidential election." Even before the impeachment was cited on April 4, 2025, anchors Cho Hyun-yong and Kim Hyun-woo, unlike Choi Moon-jong, continued to criticize Yoon Seok-yeol's violation of the Constitution and democracy and sent a strong message of respect to the citizens who protected democracy through their anchor comments.
- In relation to the 12.3 Civil War, Choi Moon-jong's special report scene is often cited as a news footage, and on January 28, 2026, MBC News Desk reported on Park Jang-beom 's suspicions of preparing for a martial law broadcast, which eventually led to it being disgracefully cited as a footage even in the main news of other companies.
- 2026, the day Yoon Seok-yeol was found guilty of being the leader of a rebellion and sentenced to life imprisonment in the first trial. In the February 19th special edition of KBS News 9 , an unusual closing comment was left urging Yoon Seok-yeol to apologize as follows .
The court pointed out today that incalculable social costs and damage were caused by acts of insurrection, and those involved were suffering. Yoon Seok-yeol Shouldn’t the former president properly apologize now?

[1] I am a reporter for KBS and am the same person who joined the company.[2] Announcer Lee Young-ho of the Department of Oceanography is a college classmate of the Class of 1992.[3] #, #, #[4] Reporter Han Sang-deok's vacation and sudden departure.[5] Park Joo -kyung's vacation.[6] Hwang Sang -moo's vacation.[7] In the case of the former, Yoon Seok -yeol's second impeachment prosecution is resolved, and in the latter, both are featured in the event.[8] The normalization meeting was an in-house meeting led by executives from the press headquarters during the time of President Ko Dae-young .[9] He was a political reporter at the time and published news articles even during the strike. On the other hand, his wife, reporter Shim Yeon-hee, participated in the general strike of the public broadcaster, but returned as an anchor at News 12 in November 2017 after the old labor union suspended the strike.[10] His wife, Shim Yeon-hee, is also listed on the resignation list. She worked as a manager in the news department during President Park Min's term, and moved to a position as manager of another department after Park Jang-beom took office.[11] In addition, other news anchors, including Choi Young-cheol , then- KBS News 9 weekday anchor, Park Yu-han , then- KBS News Square anchor, and Park Joo-kyung, then- KBS News 7 anchor, also strongly opposed the retaliatory personnel measures and held a one-person protest at Gwanghwamun. However, at this time, reporters from the newsroom, regardless of their political leanings, such as progressive or conservative, actively participated in the general strike to force President Gil Hwan-young to resign, and even former reporter Park Young -hwan and KBS President Park Jang-beom had posted their names in a statement opposing retaliation in the name of correspondents at the time, and several reporters on the list of the meeting for the normalization of the KBS Reporters Association had also made a statement in 2014, so it is difficult to judge his political inclinations just because he participated in the general strike. It's hard.[12] I am the Ethics Education Division, and Park Ji -won graduates.[13] At the time, the only terrestrial broadcasters that broadcast President Yoon Seok-yeol's declaration of martial law live in real time were KBS 1TV and OBS Gyeongin TV . The news special report conducted by reporter Choi Moon-jong only reported the announcement of President Yoon Seok-yeol's declaration of martial law and ended immediately after 6 minutes. 31 minutes later, the special KBS Newsline W (changed back to KBS News special report midway through) reported in detail the situation of the National Assembly due to the martial law situation. At this time, the anchor was not reporter Choi Moon-jong, but reporter Lee Seung-gi , who was the host of Newsline W at the time . Afterwards, Reporter Seung-gi Lee continued to host the event, but the anchor was changed again to Reporter Moon-jong Choi.[14] The other two are MBC Reporter Jo Hyeon-yong , SBS This is reporter Kim Hyun-woo .
