[08.12.15] Netizens: No to idol stars on We Got Married

After previews were played on the 14th Dec episode of We Got Married announcing the arrival of new couples, netizens have since then posted their views opposing the inclusion of idols stars on the show.


Names like Junjin, Kang In and Lee Hyunji have recently been thrown into the fray as possible candidates for the new couples to replace outgoing couples Hwang Bo-Kim Hyun Joong and Crown J-Seo In Young. While the production team is now delaying in making an official statement, netizens have already aired their views about having idol stars appear on the show.
Some viewers have left messages on the programme’s messageboard, saying that idol stars will not fit the image of the show, and others have mentioned that this would add to the already heavy workload of idol stars and thus affecting their health.


The programme has been successful in popularizing the onscreen images of pioneer celebs such as Crown J, Alex, Shin Ae and Solbi, and netizens are saying that the idea of featuring idol stars is purely driven by competition and ratings.


The production team has stated, “All new couples will be unveiled within this week, and they were selected based on their personalities and chemistry with each other.”
