Or, at least, Jo Kwon pretending to be straight with Ga-In is epically hilarious to me. I fail to see how WGM is "reality tv" when the entire premise of the show is people pretending to be married. | ||

I'll just go ahead and take a break and lurk for a while. Sorry brahs. You shouldn't take it personally. For one its a Roffles post; and you have to love him for the negative nancy he is. This thread has also evolved, some like what its become and some don't. You shouldn't take Roffles opinion as representing the general consensus of the KMD. Although I adamantly believe that there should be a rule against ranking snsd added to the top (because come-on there are only three that actually matter anyway) its a mistake many have made. tl;dr its a community, and as long as your not getting modded for it it's most likely fine to do. @Purpl3 Thanks, it's late. | ||

So edgy, so decisive, and so utterly wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_tv#Social_experiment WGM is a type of reality TV, because it purports to take REAL people and put them into situations. They're not acting out roles. They're being themselves, which can be played out in any manner of scenarios, including artificially constructed ones. The second most critical factor for qualifying a show as reality TV is an overall narrative arc that spans multiple episodes, character development, change, etc. So that it's got a lot of the qualities of a normal TV drama show, but with real people ostensibly with real feelings, actions, and development. Of course, it's implicit that much of reality tv is staged and scripted, but that's a characteristic shared by all types of reality tv. A variety show is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_show AKA, it's a variety of acts, with no real narrative arc spanning multiple episodes, there is no "plot" per se or any requirements for character development. It's set up as a sort of stage for people to come on and show talents, crack jokes, put on amusing acts/performances etc. A completely different animal. All it takes is a brief application of these two definitions to WGM to understand which category the show falls under. Or in other words, "Stop posting like you know everything." | ||

She is that good, and I don't understand why these netizens are ragging on her for lipsyncing a couple perfs when nearly everyone does it, and she hasn't lipsynced everything. MR removed doesn't mean shit though. Gone over it before and while it does remove the backing track and shit it's so imperfect that to call it an accurate measure of what a singer sounds like isn't accurate at all. Netizens are ragging on her because netizens bitch about everything, and because BoA has made her name on being far more talented than everyone else in the industry and her lipsynching/heavy backtracking her song runs contrary to that image. Not that I agree with them or anything. @Stork- Since you seem fond of using wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Got_Married We Got Married (Hangul: 우리 결혼했어요) is a South Korean reality variety show, one segment of the Sunday Sunday Night program And while it may not be the traditional dictionary definition of variety WGM and other shows like it are pretty much always classified as "variety" by this community and every other kpop/kculture forum/community I know of. | ||

Yeah it's not accurate, but it's good enough to show that someone can actually sing well or can't sing at all, which is what these stupid netizens are after. I don't know, it's just weird that it made news when she actually sang live lol. Like did they not even watch her or what? | ||

Edit: TBF, that wiki entry calls WGM a reality variety show, so it's not like I'm way off. To Purple: It's not douchey to defend yourself when someone's called you out in a nasty sort of way. To Nickson: Thanks for the kind words, my friend | ||

I don't think the issue is whether or not she's good at singing or not, because everyone knows that she can sing, it's that SM has built their entire marketing campaign/image of BoA as the "queen" of kpop who's more talented at everything than everyone else, and then she went out there and didn't perform her song. It's not a question of talent, it's just contradictory to their image. | ||

LoL how is it tainting Stork's name? You know the Supreme Commander has a reputation for being a douche to other players right? He's gotten a lot of flack for his interviews from fans over the years. Especially when he had that controversy with Kwanro. If you want to talk about it more, feel free to PM me. Don't want to derail thread. Edit: Purple, you're focusing way too much on the word reality and not how the genre actually functions. | ||
