[Asia Today = Kim Soojin reporter] Girl group SNSD's leader, Taeyeon (22), during Music Bank, expressed her displeasure with the program and it's becoming a topic online.

On the 25th at 5:45 PM, The Looking Back on the First Half (of the year) was shown on KBS 2TV's music program, 'Music bank'.

Winning 1st place for the first half of the year, SNSD's Taeyeon gave her acceptance speech and at the end of it, said "I hope Music Bank creates an environment for singers to do better," leaving a meaningful remark. After that, Music Bank ended their live broadcast and netizens are arguing about Taeyeon's remark.

According to the account of a fan that was present at the scene explained, "On this day, Taeyeon, while doing a stage rehearsal, requested for help from staff because the sound in her in-ear (the earphone in her ear) wasn't playing and she showed displeasure towards the staff after two frustrating recordings.

In addition, "Even though the staff were clearing the stage, Taeyeon, still frustrated, refused to leave the stage."

Netizens argue, "I understand that Taeyeon is frustrated but I think it was careless of her to be saying those kinds of things on a live broadcast", "She should've watched her mouth", "A singer just talked about the stage environment, don't you think these reactions are a little too sensitive?" and the arguments continued with "How frustrated must she have been to have gone that far", "If the in-ear was indeed broken, Taeyeon's remark shouldn't become an issue".

Translator's note: It may seem confusing in the article but it's implied that the staff didn't fix/change her in-ear, which is why Taeyeon was so displeased.

SBS’s Good Sunday Family Outing 2 will be ending early after 5 months.

Although there was to be a filming of a new episode on the 28th and 29th ,due to the military ship sinking incident and the World cup going on in South Africa, many episodes were not aired and thus a decision to end the show came up and filming will not take place. Thus a final episode will be shown at the beginning of July. This episode was filmed last month.

Family outing 2 started enthusiastically on the 21st of February with a star filled cast, but the show will come to an end.

With such a star filled cast, there was a lot of anticipation and the 1st episode got a viewing percentage of 16.5%, but starting with the 2nd episode, the ratings started to drop.

To recover ratings, the producing team decided to permanently add Kim Heechul from Super Junior as the 8th family member, but ratings still didn’t increase as much as they had hoped for.

A new action variety will replace Family Outing 2 and it will feature Yoo Jaesuk, Haha, Lee Ssang and others. And their first guest will be a family member from Family Outing 1, Lee Hyori.
