Is AS canceled after all the scandals???
This is like a 3rd AS cast members.... I see what you did TvN.

As if going to university meant you are more intelligent. Especially to debate social topics. But it can be interesting to understand Korean culture better.

Lol irl @ the profiles of the guys like ok.... Ofc Tyler is fluent in english, it's not a skill for him lmao.
Anyway, I'm glad it's subbed?! I'll check it out.

Tyler's smirk is so annoying, lol

[chaneltini.livejournal.com]

I am laughing so hard at that title. Were they preparing for the ifans or something?

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

That title....

Anyway, going to school doesn't make you qualified to speak on these issues. I really doubt most Koreans are going to get anything new out of this - like, it's probably the typical discussions that they hear on the radio. I'd rather they have a panel with social workers and people who've actually been discriminated against. It'll be interesting to me from a foreigner's view, though.

lol @ that title

I doubt that he'll get much talk time and I probably won't continue watching past the first episode, but I'm a bit curious to see how namjoon does on this

Wow, I knew he was smart but not that smart tbh.

Lol an attempt to go for the AS format with men and social topics.
Give me women, enough dicks already

[keezmo.livejournal.com]

Ikr I know the guys are on demand but I want to see new faces as well especially girls bc we rock--
lame but yeah

[rixythewraith.livejournal.com]

I kinda feel like this is AS but without the twist of trying to get some varied international perspective. When are women going to start being regulars on shows like this? :/

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

lol problematic men. i can't get over the title.

[chimpansee.livejournal.com]

When will women get their show like this though? Or can only men talk about srs topics?

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

Show title is appropriate

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

the premise of this show is a disaster waiting to happen

why not make this a quiz show since all these dudes are supposedly so smart?

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

of course crapmon would be on a show called problematic men lmao

[nekosogi.livejournal.com]

What a fitting title. Also it's like a race. Who will say something bad first? Watch it to know~ LOL

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

another sausage festival.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

tvn where is my all girls tv show?

[motoko-n.livejournal.com]

Going to university doesn't mean You are more intelligent, and people who didnt go to university can also participate in a intelligent debates though....

Gonna watch it just for kim ji suk.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, I didn't even recognize Namjoon at first lol

The upcoming talk show will hold intelligent debates regarding social topics. Excuse me while I die laughing for 30mins. But what? Ok. I see at least one person above who's done blackface and one who has used the N word in the last year, so...

But sure. Okay.

IA OP about the name, that was mft too. This is going to be A MESS, I can feel it.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Intelligent debates about social topics, when one was going to do blackface as a gift to a black guy and the other used the word nigga in a song on broadcast? And then the white guy as the possible American viewpoint of social issues?

YEAH, totally, this is going to be great.

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

Who did blackface?
(I only recognize Namjoon and that MC guy looks familiar *shrug*)

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Hyunmoo said he was GOING to do blackface if Sam (?)'s program did well. The title is ironically fitting.

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

The show was Abnormal Summit lol. But since he also got some kind of backlash from knetz iirc he kinda backpedaled? I was really curious (?) on it since AS got popular but I didn't really hear of the continuation of his 'promise' idk.

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

that title tho i am cackling.

and i echo the sentiments about not wanting another male infested talk show. half the reason why i stopped watching AS is because i got tired of the lack of diversity in their opinions ESPECIALLY on topics (which is like EVERY SINGLE ONE) where a woman's opinion is super valuable.
