[TRANS] 100831 'SungKyunKwan Scandal' Changes Drama Title Logo To 'SungKyunKwan And Scandal'

New KBS Monday-Tuesday drama 'SungKyunKwan Scandal', which aired for the first time on the 30th, released their title logo with an 'and' between 'SungKyunKwan' and 'Scandal'.

This is because the SungKyunKwan School has been requesting KBS and the production company to change the title of the drama as it may bring a negative image to the greatest educational body of the Joseon Dynasty.

The production company has been advertising the drama as 'SungKyunKwan Scandal' until the 26th, when they began adding an 'and' between the two words of the title logo in order to reach a compromise with the school.

Following this, 'SungKyunKwan Scandal' changed its name to 'SungKyunKwan and Scandal' for its first airing on the 30th, and the title logo and watermarks on the photos were fixed on the official website in KBS on the 27th.

However, KBS will continue to advertise the drama as 'SungKyunKwan Scandal'.

According to the production company, it would be a strain to change the title for advertisements as well as viewers have already familiarized themselves with the name 'SungKyunKwan Scandal' and the school agreed to this decision.
