History
[edit]Host Lee Kyu-yeon said in a Social Live that he has been inspired by Spotlight, the Boston Globe investigative team which uncovered the Catholic Church sexual abuse cases, which in turn inspired the 2015 Academy Award-winning film Spotlight. Lee also heads JTBC News' Exploration and Planning Bureau, which produces the program. He describes Spotlight as a program that covers various fields such as social issues, welfare, science and technology. It was going to be called just Spotlight at first, but Sohn Suk-hee, JTBC News' president at the time, suggested that he change it to Lee Kyu-yeon's Spotlight.[citation needed]
