SEOUL: Political disputes persisted through the Chuseok holiday over President Lee Jae Myung and his wife Kim Hea Kyung’s recent appearance at JTBC’s cooking reality show Please Take Care of My Refrigerator.

Although the latest episode, aired on Monday (Oct 6), recorded a viewership rating of 8.9 per cent — the highest of any episode in the series — Lee’s political opponents continued to accuse the liberal president of turning a blind eye to the “national disaster” stemming from the recent massive data center blaze by pushing ahead with the variety show filming.
