Lee Kyu-yeon's Spotlight (Korean: 이규연의 스포트라이트; RR: Lee Kyu-yeonui seupoteuraiteu) is a South Korean investigative journalism program hosted by Lee Kyu-yeon. It airs at Saturdays at 19:40 KST on JTBC.
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.
