2AM’s no-show on Music Core for 3 weeks, MBC “There is no discord”

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

Much attention has been brought to the rumoured discord between 4-member vocal 2AM and MBC Music Core.

This is because 2AM had not appeared on Music Core and performed their new song ‘Even if I die, I will not let you go’ for even once. In addition, for the show coming 6th February, 2AM will also not be performing. With that, 2AM has yet to perform on the show even though it has been 3 weeks since they released their new album.

Usually, Kpop singers will appear on all 3 weekly music shows KBS Music Bank, MBC Music Core and SBS Inkigayo to promote their songs. And for 2AM, they released their new album on 21st January and from pre-release to after-release currently the song is doing very well up on music charts.

So far, 2AM has appeared on KBS Music Bank to perform twice (22nd and 29th January), and 2 times on SBS Inkigayo (24th and 31st January). And coming 5th and 7th February, there are plans for them to perform on the 2 shows.

But with their continual no-show on Music Core, there has been rumours about disagreement between 2AM and MBC.

And many point decision for 2AM leader Jo Kwon to appear on SBS Family Outing 2 as the possible root of this discord. Jo Kwon has been quite prominent in the variety show zone with his funny appearance on MBC We Got Married and SaeGaKwi, which even earned him the nickname of ‘Kkap Kwon’.

MBC felt that they have given him much opportunities in this area, and now they are feeling unhappy that Jo Kwon will be appearing on the variety show of the competitor broadcast company.

MBC side revealed, “Especially since he was decided as the fixed appearance on We Got Married, normally they would refrain from doing fixed show appearance on shows by other companies. With this, MBC is feeling a little unhappy with 2AM’s company about it. With that you can see that 2AM did not appear on MBC Music Core. But that being said, we felt that 2AM’s side was being unfair in some aspects too.”

But their stand is that there is no discord with 2AM. The show team official said during an interview on 3rd Feb, “This is ridiculous. There is definitely no discord with 2AM’s company. The 2AM members are still appearing on other MBC programmes. 2AM like any other singers, will be able to perform on MBC Music Core.” during their recently interview.

2AM’s side also said on 4th February, “There is no discord with MBC.”

Kwon was a regular on SBS Star King before he even started WGM, but his accepting the Family Outing gig is apparently a problem? The rumours are not making sense to me.

That being said, if their no-show on Music Core is based on a clash of schedules, I don't really understand that JYPE management would put variety before album promotions.

Aren't WGM and family outing airing at the same time actually? I think that is the problem...

... Good god, you're right, I'm a moron. I take back what I said, that is pretty awkward.

That explains the issue. At first I was like lol whut? but that actually makes sense!

The article is just basically blah blah without ever explaining the actual problem.

Well, they hadn't enough problem already with Jay's rumors and Sunmi's leaving Wondergirls covering their album release promotion don't you think...

This is weird lol...Daesung was Music Core MC with Seungri in 2008 *and* he was part of Family Outing then too. Don't know why this would be a problem now...

Family outing and WGM are airing at the same time so they are directly competing.
And i remember that when they first started the competition was really serious until wgm started drowning.
I can get why mbc is pissed of, they had jokwon's fans with them but now that kwon is going to be on a nother show at the same time, the fans can choose to watch the other show, MBC is going to lose viewers...

I was going to say leave them be godammit,
they have enough problem *sobs*

but then, i read that wgm and fo airing at the same time, whoa.
...that's kind of crazy on their management *coughJYPE* not bashing, but they should have known better, if it was for a program on another time slot it would be fine, but this...bad move JYPE, bad move.

i really feel bad for 2AM, talented people but so criminally underrated, please be number one for at least one week.
