A variety show that just hit its lowest viewer ratings
'I'm a Singer'
'I'm a Singer in Germany'
Highest rating: 2.4% (November 2)
Latest rating: 1.0% (January 25)
Not only are the ratings low, but the buzz and the video views are really low.
Considering they invited many celebrities for overseas filming, the production cost is expected to be high.
-First time hearing about this... Wait, Suzy is on that show?
-I didn't even know this show existed. Is that Suzy?
-No way this is another KBS show?? The format is so similar.
-I’ve never heard of this show before.
-A knockoff of Begin Again?
-All these shows are so similar. This one looks like a knockoff of Begin Again.
-I'm just now finding out about this showㅋㅋ
-Why do they have to film overseas?
-But have there been any successful music variety shows set overseas? They keep making them.
-There are already too many music variety shows.
-I’m not watching because Henry is in it.
-If they're going to make them sing like that, they should just do a content where they travel using money they earn from buskingㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It's exactly like Begin Again... I happened to stumble over this show yesterday, but I just switched channels right away.
-Was the point to promote Korean artists and get recognized abroad? Why...? It would’ve been better to do it in Korea.

“아버지가 현직 의사로 일하고 계시고, 어머니는 간호 전공을 하셨다. 증조 할아버지는 한양에서 양의학으로 첫 개업을 하셨던 의사라고 들었다. 병원에서 가끔 청소를 했는데 직원들 톤을 참고할 수 있었다. 당황하기 쉬운 순간에도 의료진은 침착하더라” pic.twitter.com/IHBSzQGZs6
'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call' star Ha Young is actually from a family of doctors🩺
"My father is a practicing doctor, and my mother majored in nursing. I heard that my great-grandfather was one of the first doctors to practice Western medicine in Hanyang. I heard that my great-grandfather was one of the first doctors to practice Western medicine in Hanyang."
-What does coming from a family of doctors have to do with acting skills? I’m genuinely curious, not trying to start an argument.
-If an actor/actress has been around a particular profession, it would definitely help them in portraying that role.
-No wonder her acting was so natural.
-I really liked Jangmi’s character, and her performance in the drama was absolutely amazing.
-If her family members are actually medical professionals, she must've seen and heard a lot about the role she's portraying in this dramaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Don't be jealous.
-So she comes from a wealthy family.
-Wow, no wonder her tone was so natural.
-I personally think her acting felt super natural.
-Dramas usually consult with experts in their field. So it must be helpful to have a family member who's a medical professional. Why are some people making ridiculous arguments with such confidence?
-That means she can ask for advice or references from her family. What's wrong with people?
-Coming from a doctor’s family and graduating from Ewha Womans University… Definitely an enviable background.
-I first saw her in 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call' and I have to agree that she's such an amazing actress.

Breaking News: Passengers of Air Busan plane claims that fire started from overhead compartment
https://n.news.naver.com/article/658/0000095653?sid=102
Was it because of a battery?ㅠㅠ
-Huh?? That's crazy... The fire didn't start from outside of the plane?
-Hul... Fires caused by batteries are happening so often these days.
-It must've been a battery, e-cigarette, or a lighter.
-Maybe the battery got damaged because it was placed in the overhead compartment and hit something and then caught fire?
-Wasn't there almost a fire incident on Air Busan flight caused by a battery too?
-Does this mean the passenger who owns the battery is responsible for the fire...?
-We should probably ban power banks from both carry-on and checked luggage...
-Can power banks just suddenly catch fire like that??ㅠㅠ That's really scary. I need to be more careful.
-Aren't power banks supposed to be in the carry-on luggage?? How did it even catch fire?
-The exact cause of the fire in this incident is still unknown. However, there was a similar incident caused by a power bank on an Air Busan flight just a month ago....
-It could've been caused by a power bank.. Or maybe devices with larger battery like laptops or tablets.
-Thank goodness this happened before takeoff.......... It would've been terrifying if it had happened during the flight.
-Power banks are essentials when traveling... What should we do now?ㄷㄷ
-I don't even want to imagine if this had happened during the flight...ㅠ
-Power banks are indeed dangerous...
Late Oh Yoanna's family files lawsuit for 'workplace harassment' ... "We never received an apology"
It has been reported that the family of the late MBC weather caster Oh Yoanna, who passed away last year, has filed a lawsuit against the alleged perpetrators.
According to KBS on the 29th, Oh Yoanna's family submitted a complaint to the court last month, claiming that Oh Yoanna had endured workplace harassment for the past two years. The family presented text messages and phone call records between the late Oh Yoanna and her co-workers as evidence. Some of the text messages reportedly contained statements like, "I wonder if I'm really that bad to deserve hearing such things?" and "Am I doing so poorly that it causes the weather team to be discontinued?"
Her suicide note also reportedly mentioned the names of colleagues with whom she had conflicts, along with statements like, "I was treated as if I was an irresponsible person."
The family stated that despite suffering public verbal abuse and humiliation for two years, the late Oh Yoanna never received any apologies from the perpetrators. "We wish we could go back in time and stop that pain. This lawsuit is filed to prevent such violence and misfortune caused by the abuse of power in the workplace from happening again in the future."
The family also criticized MBC for condoning workplace harassment and demanded the company do a thorough investigation.
In response, MBC claimed that the late Oh Yoanna had never reported the situation to the relevant department or management. However, they stated they would launch an investigation if requested by the family.
MBC explained, "The company takes workplace harassment very seriously. We immediately investigate any reports or complaints filed by any freelancers or on-air talents." Furthermore, MBC requested, "We ask that you refrain from spreading unconfirmed rumors or making baseless accusations. This does not only affect the late (Oh Yoanna)'s reputation but can also create additional victims."
Currently, MBC's Youtube Channel is flooded with hateful comments directed at the watercasters accused of being the perpetrators. Comments on the weather news videos have been filled with thousands of comments such as, "This is the real-life Park Yeonjin situation. So scary," "Why did you bully Oh Yoanna?", "Did you enjoy bullying her?", "You must've felt safe thinking the victim stayed silent. How shameless," "I'm too scared to watch the weather forecast now," and "How can you go on-air with a smile on your face even after killing someone?"
Despite the backlash, the accused individuals have not issued any statements and continue to present the weather news.
Oh Yoanna passed away in September last year. She was a former idol trainee who won the title of 'Suk' in the 2019 Chunhyang Beauty Pageant. In 2021, she became an MBC weathercaster, presenting the weather on weekdays and weekends.
"You were dating someone within the company, huh?" ... Agency CEO who assaulted an underage idol receives suspended sentence
The former CEO of an entertainment agency who assaulted an underage idol with a blunt object has been sentenced to a suspended prison term in the first trial.
The court also ordered A to complete 120 hours of community service.
According to News1 on the 29th, the Seoul Central District Court sentenced the former CEO, A, to one year in prison with a three-year suspension on the 14th. A was charged with aggravated assault, battery, and child abuse.
A, who was the CEO of an entertainment company, was indicted for assaulting a member of an idol group at their dormitory last June. According to reports, A was intoxicated at the time of the incident. The investigation began after the assaulted member filed a police report
A is also accused of assaulting another underage member, B, for allegedly dating the group's manager. A questioned B about the relationship, accusing him of violating company rules. When B denied his accusations, A repeatedly hit him on the thighs and buttocks.
Furthermore, it was revealed that A also assaulted B and the other members of the same group with a metal rod because 'the dorm's bathroom is dirty.'
The court stated, “The defendant repeatedly assaulted a child who had little ability to resist or defend himself, using a hanger rod he had prepared in advance. The level of violence was so severe that not only did the hanger break, it also caused injuries requiring four weeks of treatment."
The judge continued, “The defendant also struck other members with a hanger, targeting their heads, making the assault highly dangerous. Considering the circumstances of the crime, the defendant's criminal conduct is severe."
They added, "However, considering that the defendant has admitted to all the crimes, resigned from his position as CEO, and reached an agreement with some of the victims for 80 million KRW. Additionally, the defendant has no criminal record or history of similar crimes beyond fines, these factors were taken into account when determining the sentence."
