[Yonhap News file photo]<\/span>\n<\/div>\n The Blue House sent an official protest letter to Bloomberg after the U.S. news organization reported that Policy Chief Kim Yong-beom\u2019s \u201cnational dividend\u201d proposal amounted to a plan to redistribute \u201cexcess profits\u201d from AI-related companies. According to government officials, the Blue House on the 14th sent Bloomberg a letter formally expressing \u201cserious concerns\u201d about how the outlet covered Kim\u2019s personal social-media post. The Blue House said Bloomberg\u2019s \u201cinaccurate framing\u201d created material market confusion and harmed investor sentiment, and it demanded that Bloomberg acknowledge the issue and issue a formal apology for the market damage. The Blue House said Kim\u2019s remarks were about how to allocate \u201cexcess tax revenue,\u201d such as corporate tax windfalls, and that reporting them as a scheme to distribute companies\u2019 \u201cexcess profits\u201d was a \u201cmajor misunderstanding.\u201d It asked Bloomberg to reflect that clarification in its reporting and editorials and said accounts implying Kim first proposed an excess-profit distribution and only later clarified are not accurate. In the letter, the Blue House stressed that \u201cKim never called for redistributing corporate profits, never proposed imposing a windfall tax on companies, and never suggested directly transferring private-sector revenue.\u201d Bloomberg has not yet responded to the Blue House\u2019s letter. #BlueHouse #KimYongBeom #NationalDividend #ExcessProfits #TaxRevenue #Protest #Bloomberg For Yonhap News TV inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk\/LINE jebo23; Jung Da-ye (yeye@yna.co.kr)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
