'Entertainment Weekly' Officially Apologizes For The TVXQ Subtitle Error

[locofruitcake.livejournal.com]

KBS 2TV's 'Entertainment Weekly', which was under fire for an error in the show's subtitles, released an official apology through the show's homepage.

The production crew of 'Entertainment Weekly' put said apology under the title 'This is the production crew of Entertainment Weekly' in the Viewers' Thread on the show's official homepage on the evening of the 28th.

In this apology, they showed their remorse for their mistake by saying, "There was an error regarding the names of the members of the group TVXQ in the '2009 Star Survey' corner which was aired on the 26th. We will make sure an incident like this will never happen again."

In this segment of 'Entertainment Weekly' that was aired on the 26th, the production crew was under fire for putting out subtitles that read "Xiah Junsu, Choikang Changmin and Meecky Yoochun filed a lawsuit against their agency". They made the mistake of putting Choikang Changmin's name instead of YoungWoong Jaejoong when reporting this news.

After the airing of the show, many people, mostly TVXQ fans, demanded an apology from the program.

apology accepted

LMAO. I really feel sorry Jaejoong. XD He was called Junsu countless of times and their lawyer admitted that he couldn't differentiate him and Changmin. Now this program put Changmin's name instead of his. Lol.

....LMAO really?!! but they don't look alike...to me....

I know that he was mistaken as junsu couple of times especially in their early years. (resulting in jae pouting or scowling in those shows xD)

but their lawyer can't differentiate him from changmin? what the? it's your client bro~! XD

At least they're officially apologizing.
I'm still waiting for people to apologize over calling them hallyu stars. They worked so hard to get where they stand today, got through depression, and even spend time on learning japanese, yet getting their pride taken away from them by people who just calls them hallyu stars.

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

I still have to laugh that they made those mistakes to begin with...but a pat on the back to them for apologising officially!

[callmeliyah.livejournal.com]

kthx.

[noirsama.livejournal.com]

ok.

how about this MEECKY yoochun guy? I'm more concerned about his name..

[x3sarang.livejournal.com]

xD.

Actually they way they wrote it was 미키 (Mi Ki) while the proper way to write it is 믹키 (Mik Ki) so there isn't really that much difference in Korean, just a longer 'i' sound and a pause between the k.

Them getting members mixed up is probably worse don't you think? LOL

[noirsama.livejournal.com]

^^ yea, obviously yes about the mixed up name xD. well they already apologizing so, there.

well it will be pronounced as "méky" for me automatically. LOL & that's sounds funny. but anyway it's just my way of saying lol at the way his name typed :D/

thank you ^o^/
