Finally, after what seemed like yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaars to the MBC producers of Sunday Night Variety Show, "일요일 일요일 밤에/Sunday Sunday Night", the cancerous show that is "SNSDs Horror Factory" has been "abolished".
I could use all the cliched tags with this, "SNSD scares away viewers", "SNSD bestows their own Horror Show to MBC" or even "Horror was never this scary" and post a picture of the girls being scary. But Imma poke a little more fun before I kill this piece of news by poking it to death. And when I do, I would have done more than SNSD could do in their Variety segment. :3
In South Korea, where Idols reign supreme and they're brought in to increase viewer ratings whenever possible. It's quite intriguing to see that SNSDs variety show bombed to this extent. After the second show ratings, even we found it too boring to even follow the ratings, let alone the show.
It's a bit mind boggling, since the "Gee craze" was so well publicised, it's a "wonder" that SNSDs show tanked and they werent picked for the latest Season of "Idol Army", which was won out instead by their "rivals" Kara.
Considering that their fandom mainly consists of Ajoushis their fathers age and young pre-pubescent boys, again, it's not entirely surprising they wouldnt watch the show. Another clear indication that their personalities or whatever they "strive" to be (scream queens/kings), are not enough to bring in a loyal dedicated fandom that sees them as entertaining individuals worthy of their time. Instead, they would much rather tune in to simply see a bunch of mannequins jumping around wiping their behinds and kissing their hands on stage. Not degrading at all, eh?
But thank goodness, that after 6 episodes of abysmal ratings, even more abysmal acting and a show so boring even Soshi fans wish someone else starred in it, they're calling it quits.
I think what adds more insult to injury is, that not many people actually care it's being cancelled, since theyre all watching "Happy Sunday" (with awesome show 2Days, 1Night) or "Good Sunday" (with also awesome show "Family Outing"). MBC this time you failed miserably, next time, choose wisely and try not to succumb to pressure by Execs desperate enough to shove a falsely popular idol down your throat.
And by the way, it's FAR too early to start Horror Shows now. Any Korean would know that. I think MBC gave SNSD enough of a chance to redeem themselves, turns out they are that boring. This Sunday is their last show, let's thank the Heavens.
And just because I couldnt help it:
- Spoiler:
We know you'll always be the Horror Show Star, forever, HyoYeon. You scare us without effort.
SNSD and their curse on Variety shows as regulars continues... Who next to be devoured by the power of 3.3?!
