MBC, wae you fired all three MCs? Even Minho who's been there for a few years? Don't cry bb Yeri :(

Saw from netizen comments in NB that the three only found out they were being switched out the same day, is it true?

[kittyboo17.livejournal.com]

yup, pretty much, Starlights didn't know a thing and according to N's schedule on realvixx Jelpi, so Hakyeon too, didn't know either. Our whole fandom was hit by surprise when suddenly Hyuk handed over flowers to N and he tearfully gave his goodbye speech. We'd heard the rumours about Yeri and Minho leaving but everyone thought N was going to stay since we didn't hear anything about. According to some accounts Minho and Yeri fans found out earlier through a friend or sth like that, not sure?

[novnariel.livejournal.com]

Yep, the fandom, the company didn't know either. Vixx fan manager had no clue.

[kwonsoonyoung.livejournal.com]

i cant with IU blocking f(x)'s wins :(

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

i swear, there's something going on ~internally with mbc right now and i saw people speculating it's maybe newly appointed "top dogs" with the company or just them trying to do a clean sweep of djs, mcs, ect. with the station? because earlier this week it was announced that sunny was leaving fm date which no one thought much of until it was confirmed that tablo and jung joon young were leaving their radio shows as well within the same fews hours all with the same excuse: that they're focusing on overseas activities / touring. i thought it was kinda fishy but didn't think too much of it until two days ago when jonghyun was kinda stressing on blue night that he's staying (that could've been to comfort worried fans too) and then said two days ago: "i will still be here for next year’s sats too. it’s my will and could be completely irrelevant from mbc’s will." soooo i kinda get the impression they maybe tried to push him out of his dj spot too? but he's always said he'd fight for the show so i'm not surprised he'd push back if they wanted him out.

it's just ???? because mbc was saying back in august that minho was the "face" of music core and that they wouldn't let him go (and even had him miss most of a anniversary party with shawols to coach at isac) and now...

I had no idea that all this radio shows were part of MBC, I thought that they are all diffrent radio station! Everyday I learn something new about SK entertainment. Do You thing MBC getting read of idols? Or trying to loose their ties to certain agency?

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

i don't think it has to do with agencies because they cut three sm idols but kept another but it only has been idols, so.

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

Gosh, I just noticed how many typos are in my message,sorry.

They use really wide brush if they count Tablo as idol or even idol related, and not to mention that Tablo gets some nasty comments when he announced his leave from radio, dick move on MBC side, did they really think that they can change whole line up and nobody notice.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

wow .... that sounds like too much coincidence .... i wonder if there's some new administration about to take mbc offices

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

interesting, interesting

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

oh, wow, that is a lot of big changes. something is definitely going on

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

mte

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

yep. i saw that too and it's interesting that the only people who've been cut so far are either idols or artists that fall pretty closely near the idol line (tablo, jjy). the replacements were older, more established singers / former idols and actors. i forgot who replaced jjy, but park ji yoon replaced sunny. jjong seems to be the only idol kept on as a dj or mc and i'm guessing it could have to do with a combo of him being persistent and his show being rumored to bring in the highest ratings radio wise.

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

theyre def making a conscious effort to move away from idols, since theyre abolishing the award system (which idols typically win) and said that theyre going to start 'introducing more diverse music genres'

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

That's actually interesting. I hate the ridiculous way they're getting rid of everyone with no warning but now I want to see what they do as a result.

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

oh yeah now that you mentioned that this move makes more sense

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

this is weird... reminds me of how they cancelled come to play :/

[novnariel.livejournal.com]

MBC told Hakyeon and Jelpi this morning during pre-recording. The fan manager didn't know! The fandom found out during the broadcast!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Taeyeon is still nominated? whoa
f(x) were so close!!

Wtf is wrong with MBC at the moment
No one should be fired that way, it's wrong on so many levels

R.I.P. MC Minho

[slowitdownbaby.livejournal.com]

Re: R.I.P. MC Minho

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

He looks younger now than then lmao.
I'm gonna miss him :(

Re: R.I.P. MC Minho

[achan123.livejournal.com]

pretty boy

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

is this omg's last closer stage? T.T that song is really good but didn't get the popularity it deserve.. but i'm glad the fanchat is really good! and imo hyo jung really feel it this time, she's always good but this time is perfect! and jino's hair is georgeous

[infadel-x.livejournal.com]

MBC is def undergoing something. I'll miss seeing Minho every week on MuCore ;;

[karatefeelings.livejournal.com]

All I'm wondering is Madtown did not perform on Musiccore?

[demeulemeester.livejournal.com]

poor yeri bb ♡ don't cry. i love kim saeron tho.

i like twice's styling today, especially chaeyoung and sana. someone id jihyo's shirt pls.

[xonatejennyxoxo.livejournal.com]

No matter what changes MBC are making internally there is no excuse for suddenly ditching people like this.
Both the hosts and radio DJs have given up a lot for their jobs (the number of times I've heard about Minho flying back from concerts early just to be at MuCore) and this is how they repay them.

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

ugh that must be really dissapointing for the mcs, esp minho
and i just remember that mbc got live rankings back in 2013, and now they are abolishing it.. so random

[bugchan.livejournal.com]

omg why is amber wearing a pyjama top

[meltedd.livejournal.com]

lol i snorted when ilhoon started trolling during the harmonization.

what on earth is going on at mbc and why is it so hard to find proper news sources...

[wishesgranted.livejournal.com]

I can't believe the way they were informed. No wonder they were emotional. :(

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Aww, I'm gonna miss that trio so much, especially Minho. He's been there for so long :(

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

i like these mcs =[ i'm sad seeing them go but not as sad as they are. poor yeri. fx was cute trying to comfort her. why was this so abrupt! -_____-

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

Only fx could make those pants work, and even then not really. The last 25% of the choreography is my favorite.

[staaan.livejournal.com]

awww @ yeri :/ it feels like she just started as an mc. i read they're getting rid of the rankings system too

i like individual performance outfits but whoever's styling rania needs to be stopped, their outfits don't go together at all and it just looks like a hot mess

i feel like twice has been promoting forever for some reason??

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

It hasn't been some record long period but in current times when many acts just pop up for week or two (or for 1/2 stages like BB/Ikon lol) it just seems super long, like if I remember correctly their debut stage was sometime after 20th October so it's not even a month in reality. But they're rookies so they need it and it's not like they have already tons of other schedule lined up like tour/drama etc. I felt the same when RV were promoting ICC.

[doren-e.livejournal.com]

2:30m out of a 4:10 song on a BEG CB STAGE. welp, that cant be right. also, no comeback props stage for anyone and literally the same stage? or am I seeing things? bc if so, theres definetely something going on

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

lmao bless fx

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

That's adorable.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

So......Minho showed up to that stupid Idol Olympshit with a jacked up ankle ONLY to be treated as if he wasn't there for three years? He showed up even with his other schedules and duties within Shinee....wow. Despite the speculation of reorganization happening within the company, you don't treat your employees like this. Yeri and N barely started, yet they've also showed up among their own group and individual activities. I can't get with any of this.

I don't know what's going on, but this isn't right.

[luxelet.livejournal.com]

poor minho, seriously :(

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

that was sad :( .... this was a really nice mcs team

one music show abolishing ranking system and daily winners announcement could lead to more mushows doing the same???? could it be??? current system sucks! creates useless drama and fandoms wars

also this was mucore last winner (?) ....that means iu got the last win, she got the last laugh .... HA!!

I will miss mc minho doing that "music core shoo shoo shoo" final line

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

so sad about the change of mcs. and if they were told on the same day, that's harsh. sad f(x) never won in mucore for 4walls too but i'm fine if they're not bummed over it.
