1. [+6,289, -307] What a failure, seems the PDs don't read netizen comments
2. [+6,030, -232] I guess they can't cast high profile singers anymore ㅋㅋㅋ The show's turning into 'Immortal Song' now ㅠㅠ
3. [+4,582, -206] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Fail
4. [+3,571, -506] I know it'd be hard but it'd be daebak if they somehow got Park Hyo Shin, Naul, and Lee Soo
5. [+740, -40] The moment when 'I Am a Singer' is suddenly in the same class as 'Immortal Song'.......
6. [+690, -43] Hyorin..;; We didn't say an idol, we asked for a singer
7. [+595, -31] They're lowering the level of the show voluntarily
8. [+615, -65] Might as well cast Ailee, Eunji, Taeyeon, Minah, and Choa at this point

1. [+264, -7] Immortal Song PD: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+236, -10] Wait, is this show 'Immortal Song' now????????
3. [+203, -11] Not even fun anymore
4. [+52, -2] Basically like a Reebok or an Adidas store opening in a shopping mall with Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Hermes
5. [+43, -5] They're going the complete opposite way they're supposed to be going ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
6. [+41, -2] I can hear the level dropping all the way from here
7. [+35, -4] Hyorin's a good singer but what differentiates her from the other singers of a higher class is that singers of higher class move hearts with their singing
8. [+33, -1] We asked for Yangpa, Park Hyo Shin, Lee Sora, Sohyang, Naul, and Wheesung, though...

SPY EP 1-2 DISCUSSION POST
2015-01-13 03:46 pm
Plot
SPY is based on the Israeli drama The Gordin Cell and modified to fit the North/South Korea relations.
The fictional story begins after the execution of real-life North Korean general Jang Sung-taek. One day an order comes down from North Korea, reactivating erstwhile spy Park Hye-rim who has spent decades in South Korea as an ordinary housewife. She is given the mission to turn and bring in her own son, Kim Seonu. Cool-headed, quick-witted genius Seonu is an information analyst on North Korea working for the NIS. His girlfriend Yoon-jin is a tour guide for Chinese tourists who cannot speak Chinese, and they fell in love when Seonu helped her translate. Hye-rim is suddenly forced to choose between her son and country, and risks her life to see the choice through.
Hangul: 스파이 Director: Park Hyun-Suk Writer: Han Sang-Woon Episodes: 16 Network: KBS2 Air time: Friday 21:30 (2 episodes)

Main Characters
Kim Seonu (Kim Jae-joong) - NIS North Korean information analyst
In front of his parents, he hides as a normal public official, but in fact, he is a genius analyst who has outstanding ability in information analysis. He always takes care of his family, his girlfriend and his colleagues with a warm heart and maturity.

Park Hye-rim (Bae Jong-ok) - Seonu's mother; A former spy
The instinct of a spy is still left in her. Like an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, she is a little wary of people around her and tries to make everything in her family perfect. However, she cherishes and loves her son and her family more than anyone.
Hwang Ki-chul (Yoo Oh-sung) - North Korean agent
Agent who comes to reorganize the spy line in South Korea but he does not work by himself. He just picks the people who become the pawns in his chessboard. This time the sacrificial lamb of his intelligent play is the peaceful and happy family of Hye-rim and Seon-woo.
Lee Yoon-jin (Ko Sung-hee) - Seonu's girlfriend
She is an orphan. She is very nice and caring, just like Seonu. Just when she dreams about a happy family with Seonu, she could not have expected that she would face the opposition of Seonu's mother, Hye-rim.

Local religious authorities have asked for the three tudung-clad Malay girls, who were seen behaving in an improper way on stage with a K-Pop band, to come forward over the controversy, The Star Online reported today.
The three had been seen in a YouTube clip getting hugs and kisses from members of the K-Pop band B1A4 at a mini-concert held at the Live Centre in Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur on Saturday night.
Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department (Jawi) said today that the three K-Pop fans will be able to assist in its investigations.
The Star Online quoted Jawi director Paimuzi Yahya as saying that the actions of the women and band members went overboard, as it was against Islamic teachings and offended the sensitivities of the Muslim community.
"The Jawi enforcement division has opened an investigation under Section 29 of the Syariah Criminal Offences ( Federal Territories ) Act 1977 (Act 599 Indecent Acts in Public Places.)
"Those who are involved are asked to come forward to help in the investigation," he said in a statement today.
According to The Star Online, Paimuzi explained that the particular Act can be enforced against people who behave indecently and in contravention of Islamic law in a public place, and is punishable with fines of not more than RM1,000 or six months jail or both.
The three-minute video clip of the B1A4 stars hugging and kissing the female fans on stage went viral on social media yesterday, drawing much criticism from viewers.
The Star Online also reported that TGM Events, the organiser of the mini-concert have since expressed their regret over the incident and declared that the three Malay girls had willingly stepped onto the stage.

Ops note: I'm hoping that everything gets settled and that this isn't drawn out to long. I really don't know what to make of it really. If the three girls come forward, what are they going to do? Ask question? I had wonder if they would drag B1A4 into this, but from what I was reading from commentator that this applies to Muslims only. If I'm wrong and we have people who are a bit more knowledgeable about laws like the one stated in the article then please, by all means share with us. Sucks that something that was suppose to be a fun memorable day for those three girls got turned upside down. I can't even image how they must feel right now
