After only a few hours of research, it’s very obvious to why only 1/5 of SHINee will be attending the MBC
Idol Championship that’s being held on the 28th of January.
(This is mostly a Minho-centered post.)
First of all, MBC Idol Championship is said to be a poorly arranged event, and it isn’t very appreciated in
Korea. The fact that SHINee aren’t a part of these events is upsetting to a lot of international fans, but
Korean fans are relieved. The idols are being treated in a very rude way, (I’m not sure which kind of “rude”,
I do believe it’s all about bad manners, though.), which is very offensive in the Korean culture, especially
when they (MBC) are working with celebrities on a daily basis.
However, a few idols are still forced to attend. Minho is one of them. Korean fans are very upset because of
this, because both SM and MBC are forcing him to be present at those events, basically because MBC want
higher ratings and they know that Minho is popular, and good at sports. He’s the most known member in
SHINee among Korean netizens, mostly because of his appearances in Let’s Go Dream Team and Running
Man, which are SBS and KBS shows.
MBC don’t care about his role in SHINee, they don’t care about SHINee’s status at all. They want Minho
and Minho only to attend, because they know he will raise the event’s rating. Most of the idols you see on
sport events like these are rookies, and this is because the poor effort MBC put into it. This is also why you
never see ‘big’ groups (e.g. groups signed under YG Entertainment.) on these events. And SM aren’t helping
much in this case either, they decided to put this event on Minho’s schedule, even though he already has
several schedules on this day. They excluded the rest of the group because they know that fans are upset,
but they choose to use Minho to represent his group anyway. Even though he’s known for his undying love
for sports, Minho isn’t a fan of such ‘burdensome competitions’ as MBC Idol Championship. Several fans
have said that he doesn’t look happy when the cameras are off, especially when he’s there alone without his members.
The fact that none of these companies are showing any signs of consideration is upsetting a lot of people.
Minho is sent there for the program’s rating only, and he will attend the event alone. Other idols may be put
in the same kind of situation depending on what event they’re attending, MBC are said to do this quite often.
(I got some well-needed help from a Korean friend of mine to summarize this. She’s a former worker for
both MBC and KBS, and the reason she quit her job at MBC was exactly this; the way they treat idols.
She’s very fond of SHINee, therefore she’s keeping an extra eye on them and their activities. She told me
parts of this story.)
