'Kim Eo-jun's Humility is Hard, News Gongjang' (News Gongjang) ranked first in SisaIN's media trust survey, surpassing MBC's 'Newsdesk.' This is the first time it has achieved first place since leaving TBS and launching its YouTube channel. Kim Eo-jun self-assessed that this indicates a perception that News Gongjang is effectively a terrestrial broadcaster.
According to the '2026 Korea Trust Survey' conducted by SisaIN, News Gongjang took first place with 6.3% in the category asking for the 'most trusted broadcast program.' MBC's 'Newsdesk,' which was number one last year, fell to second place (5.9%), followed by KBS 'News 9' (4.9%), JTBC 'Newsroom' (2.1%), SBS '8 News,' and 'Maebul Show' · 'Kim Jin's Doljikgu Show' · 'YTN24' (1.9%).
