Let them SING!!

The television show ‘I’m a Singer’ became a hot potato lately in Korea. The ‘I’m a Singer’ is a new TV show which is broadcast by MBC. It’s basically a survival format show. 7 singers can have their own stage and will sing a song then the audience will vote. The one who get less will be eliminated.
 It might look like just a normal competition TV show. But the reason why people are so crazy about this show is “The 7 singers”. The 7 singer are the most famous singers in Korea who are not well known as good dancer or good performer but literally as good singer. Even I haven’t seen them all together in one stage. Of course their stages were great and people got excited about the next episode.
The thing happened last Sunday. It came out the one who got the least votes was Mr. Kim who is the oldest, the most professional singer in Korea and have his 20th anniversary this year for his career as singer. The rest of 6 singers got panic themselves and they figured that maybe Mr. Kim hilarious performance didn’t work well for the audience so there must be some kind of misunderstanding. People didn’t estimate him not only by his song but with his performance. Anyhow they decided to give another chance. And that brought a huge problem!
The viewer stated to say that it’s breaking the rule. Somehow everything went crazy and the director of that show announced his resign yesterday and today Mr. Kim announced his resign of the show.
I don’t know what people are arguing with, I don’t know why they are arguing with this and I don’t know what they want by doing this. Everything is going crazy! I know giving him another chance is breaking rules, but as the director already said before the purpose of this program is not to eliminate someone but to deliver some chances to the viewer that they can listen good music by spooking singers.
Sometimes I think people got just really used to the whole competitive world out there. We all are trying so hard in our own life and think the world is going wilder and wilder and say “I hate this world! The winner takes it all!” And then, we turn our TV on to avoid our situation and to make ourselves laugh. However only what we can find is yelling at someone in TV to get out!
All the circumstance that we are around with drives us competitive and makes us like a fighter. Life is not a survival TV show! Don’t push someone to resign! You don’t have to step someone over and make him crash out. Just enjoy what you are doing in your life! Let the singers enjoy their stage!!!

  1. You've made some great points here. I've only watched this show once, but it seemed like a good concept for a TV show.
