Much attention is currently focused on the fact that the appearance of the cast of MBC’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Ripley’, which includes JYJ’s Park Yoochun, on MBC’s variety shows has fallen through.
According to a broadcasting company represetnative, the leading roles of Ripley, Park Yoochun, Lee Da Hae, Kang Hae Jung and Kim Seung Woo, had been attempting to schedule an appearance on the MBC variety show ‘Come To Play’ since the end of April in order to promote their new drama but were unsuccessful.
‘Come To Play’ stated that the chances of all four leading roles appearing on the show would be slim as Kim Seung Woo currently works as an MC for ‘On A Roll (SeungSeungJangGu)’, a TV show of MBC’s rival broadcasting company KBS.
However, after the team went through great troubles to confirm Kim Seung Woo’s appearance on the show, ‘Come To Play’ suggested that the three leading roles excluding Park Yoochun appear on the show, leading to the cancellation of the plan.
Even ‘Section TV Entertainment News’, MBC’s entertainment news program, cancelled its interview with the cast of ‘Ripley’ at the drama’s poster-shoot which took place on the 29th. The team from the ‘Entertainment Plus’ section of MBC’s ‘Good Day’ was present on location to interview the cast members but ‘Good Day’ is considered an educational program.
Usually, entertainment news programs visit the poster-shoot location of their respective broadcasting companies’ dramas in order to hold interviews and promote these upcoming attractions. Speculations escalated as it was found that ‘Section TV Entertainment News’ had scheduled an interview with the ‘Ripley’ cast, only to suddenly cancel the plans later on.
Regarding this, a representative of ‘Section TV Entertainment News’ did not say much as he said, “It was because there were too many items to present that day.” But rumors are spreading that the MBC Variety Program sector has buckled under the pressure from SM Entertainment. A PD, who asked to be anonymous, sighed and said, “You all know what’s going on so why do you even bother asking? It feels like we’re treading on glass because of the situation.”
Even when Park Yoochun appeared on the hit KBS drama ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’, he didn’t appear on any KBS variety programs. Though he has appeared on countless news reports and current affairs programs since his dispute with his agency, he has been unable to cross over the wall that surrounds the nation’s variety programs.
