YG's Netflix show 'YG Electronics' faces criticisms

Article: 'YG Electronics', fans enraged by excessive self-diss... "Mocking the artists?"

Source: Star Today via Nate

1. [+1977, -39] So there's been no YG celebrity who completed active military service ever since YG was established in the 1998? Lee Chan Hyuk will be the first one to do so ㅋㅋ

2. [+1072, -21] What the hell is YG doing... This isn't going anywhere.

3. [+1042, -20] Yang Hyun Suk must've been desperate ㅋㅋ

4. [+93, -1] YG is going reckless now. This isn't even an agency, it's a pharmacy. They don't even write songs for Lee Hi anymore. No wonder why Gummy moved to CJ and she's doing even better with OSTs. The male celebrities always get sick for some reason and then serve in the public service. Do they not know how things work these days? Celebrities do well after completing their military service, come back with good projects, and promote without controversies. They must be full of idiots.

5. [+72, -3] Seungri is overdoing it. Instead, he should've enlisted with the hyungs and then have a group comeback. I don't know why he's doing this.

1. [+587, -12] YG must think this is cool but it's not trendy at all. These days, making sexual jokes or insulting others' looks can get you into big trouble. Eun Jiwon's part was also too much.

2. [+264, -10] You can't just use and mock artists who didn't even appear on the show. I can't believe they're doing things that hateful commenters and antis would do in their self-produced show. They need to edit Eun Jiwon's part out before it gets spread.

3. [+229, -3] Where are their manners for their artists? Do they think it's cool to make insults under the excuse of black comedy? Can the producers be sued for this? Before suing the hateful commenters, they should get rid of their inside enemies.

4. [+198, -5] This article is spot on. Insulting and mocking their own artists and calling it a B-level variety show is too much. I'm very disappointed with YG.

5. [+122, -5] The show isn't funny at all...

Article: "Didn't know they were PPL"... How much PPL do you recognize from 'Mr. Sunshine'?

Source: Money S via Nate

1. [+896, -22] I really had no idea about the chicken soup ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+865, -24] The period of the storyline is different but the PPLs were included appropriately ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The PPLs are not too much, either. I think it's fine.

3. [+862, -7] I think the PPL companies paid this journalist to write an article because their product didn't stand out at all.

4. [+42, -3] They're telling us with an article because we couldn't figure them out ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+36, -1] Didn't expect the chicken soup to be a PPL ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+33, -0] Honestly, I didn't recognize all of them except Paris Baguette. I think the journalist was asked to write this article because the viewers had no idea ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+20, -0] Honestly, Goblin had too much PPL going on...

Chinese websites revealed to be selling Korean accounts for 'Produce 48' votes

Article: [Exclusive] "Pick by paying $1.63"... 'PD48', illegal sajaegi votes

Source: Dispatch via Nate

(Chinese websites are selling Korean G-Market accounts to use them for votes)

1. [+490, -8] No wonder...

2. [+440, -16] Joonyoung-ah, just cancel 48...

3. [+404, -10] I'm sick of it.

4. [+51, -0] The problem isn't the illegal votes, it's the leakage of personal information! Is G-Market joking?

5. [+47, -10] Takeuchi Miyu and Miyajaki Miho were really low ranks but there's a reason why they boosted up to #1 and #4. They're old and ugly but they manipulated their ways up.

6. [+40, -0] Shouldn't G-Market be undergoing an investigation right now? This is a massive leakage of personal information.

7. [+35, -0] Do you think the problem is the illegal votes? The problem is getting my information leaked out because G-Market got hacked.

8. [+34, -9] There were a lot of talks during 101 and season 2 because of this. I guess nothing has improved.

The ban on commercial breaks for public channels to be lifted this year

Article: "Public channels should allow commercial breaks" Korea Communications Commission to allow it this year

Source: SBS via Naver

1. [+948, -9] Then they should stop with the TV broadcast fee

2. [+558, -5] They're already putting commercial breaks by diving the shows into Part 1 and Part 2. What are they saying?

3. [+280, -7] Then why charge us the broadcast fee? They're not even worth watching! If they allow commercial breaks, then they should be competing fairly by revealing the numbers of the cable channels!

4. [+117, -8] At least the public channels should never have commercial breaks!

5. [+31, -0] It only benefits the commercial business and the CF models. It increases the prices of the products. The vicious cycle continues.

6. [+30, -0] Commercial breaks should also be banned on cable channels as well.

Are dating shows a bad influence in real life?

Article: 'Dating shows' shed a dark cloud on real life dating

Source: NoCut News via Naver

1. [+1316, -217] There are hopeless women who watch those shows and go, "That girl is a fox! What's with that guy? So and so should've became a thing instead! Daebak, so and so are rumored to be dating!"

2. [+432, -9] I don't watch them.

3. [+383, -4] I don't watch any of those three shows.

4. [+329, -3] Jjak used to be the most realistic dating show... There were many participants who had an average job. But nowadays, couple-matching programs only feature high-class people who have a high-paying job, drive a brand SUV, and are in chaebol categories. I don't watch them because it's their own league.

5. [+206, -7] Can they stop with these shows?

6. [+155, -47] It's better to be lonely than be painful from dating.

7. [+107, -1] It's nothing but a chance for celebrity wannabes. There must be a lot of idiots who fantasize from these shows. It's a cheap broadcast.

8. [+83, -4] On Heart Signal, the guy was a lawyer in his 30's and the girl was a student in her early-20's ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was so unlikeable. Why do they feature a girl who doesn't even have a job? Don't mention sexism when we have settings like this. As a fellow woman, I feel embarrassed.

'Running Man' gets a warning for Lee Kwangsoo's inappropriate language

Article: Running Man calls a girl group member "gold-digger", ends up getting administrative guidance

Source: JoongAng Ilbo via Naver

(On a previous episode of Running Man, Lee Kwangsoo became controversial by calling Hyejeong 'kkot-baem' (gold-digger) and saying things like "stupid idiot" and "shut up". Some netizens complained and even ran national petitions.)

1. [+311, -92] Why does this need a warning, though ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+211, -29] I hope the same netizens did a national petition when Jun Somin made a penis joke to Yoo Jae Suk and gave a warning? I'm sure those netizens didn't find a problem with that. Of course, these feminists got triggered by the 'kkot-baem' word.

3. [+156, -27] What's wrong with kkot-baem? We have no problem with calling male celebrities jebi (male gold-digger) and pervert.

4. [+140, -18] They should know how to take a joke... How does deserve a national petition? People have too much time in their hands.

5. [+64, -9] Speechless... If a female celebrity calls a male celebrity jebi, would that get a warning, too?

6. [+16, -2] They think a variety show is a documentary ㅋㅋ Instead of going crazy over this issue, they should be investigating corrupt politicians instead.

7. [+13, -0] They're ruining a variety show again... They think this is nothing... Once you get a warning like that, you find yourself talking less. Kwangsoo's role is 50% of the entire show, it's gonna ruin Running man~

8. [+16, -5] You should know that this is a variety show. It's not like Kwangsoo said that on purpose~ He didn't try to make her feel bad, it was for a variety show. If you find it too rude, then you should complain to the PD.

Alberto says Switzerland has a stingy image

Article: 'Welcome in Korea' Alberto, "Switzerland has a stingy image... They don't spend much"

Source: Xports News via Nate

1. [+224, -8] I didn't know Swiss people also have a stingy image ㅋㅋ Dutch people are very stingy as well. They travel with their camping car full of food ㅋㅋ

2. [+187, -8] It was so touching when the Swiss friends visited the war memorial hall and cherished our fallen heroes ㅠㅠ

3. [+181, -7] When I was in traveling in Europe, I stayed at my friend's place who went to school at the southern end of Germany. On Fridays and Saturdays, Swiss people came with their cars and did groceries there ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I went to a Swiss restaurant and I was surprised at how expensive it was.

4. [+26, -1] In Switzerland, 4 of us went and bought sandwiches and bottled drinks for breakfast. We paid a total of $60.... If you think I'm joking, go there. You'll see the most beautiful view of nature in the world by paying the most expensive prices in the world.

5. [+23, -2] Swiss prices are very expensive. I've always liked the nature of Switzerland since I was young. I finally got to travel there. The view is seriously amazing, and the prices were just as amazing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I traveled for 15 days. I had 7 dine-outs and for the rest of the meals, I did groceries at Coop and cooked. Fondue was too salty for my taste and the steak wasn't as good as Florence t-bone steak, but it cost 10 franc more. It was so expensive. The cup ramen I ate at Jungfraujoch tasted the best.

6. [+20, -1] I remember Big Mac combo in Switzerland was around $30. Switzerland has the most expensive big mac.

7. [+20, -5] Just how expensive is it in Switzerland?

8. [+10, -0] The prices are expensive and half of their income is tax. But their retirement treatment is excellent.
