Major broadcasting companies, including KBS and SBS, are receiving tips from investors who lost money for investment in initial coin offerings or trading with cryptocurrency exchanges.

They planned to air the investigative report once the coverage is complete. Their airing came after a few cable TVs, including JTBC and TV Chosun, aired the dirty episodes involving the cryptocurrency market in South Korea.

Their coverage would focus on payment delay from the Allbit Star Exchange, and scams involving the ICOs.

Their competitive coverage indicates that the cryptocurrency scam has become a national issue, which needs an urgent and comprehensive review from the government.
