remember TV Entertainment News blocking yoochun? Here's their reason

[unreal.livejournal.com]

"Entertainment Section TV" has commented on their decision to cancel a broadcast interview with the cast of "Miss Ripley", which includes JYJ's Yoochun. The decision sparked a debate among netizens and networks about the exclusion of JYJ from a number of programs.

A representative of the show spoke to 10Asia over the phone and commented, “We have a system and criteria set for such news coverage. If there are better items to cover, we do not have to send reporters to a location for the sole reason that the drama is one being aired by our broadcasting company. Recently, we aired a segment focusing on Lee Dahae of ‘Miss Ripley’, so we decided to exclude the press conference from the list as it overlapped.“

However, ‘Section TV Entertainment News’ has attended the press conferences of all MBC miniseries with the exception of ‘Matched Pair’. But ‘Section TV Entertainment News’ focused heavily on ‘Matched Pair’ after the press conference by visiting the filming location of the drama frequently and holding a separate interview with the child actors. The lack of coverage of ‘Miss Ripley’ by MBC has left the production company of the drama with many questions left unanswered.

The drama's production company seemed perplexed by the program's stance. They responded, “We had no problem adding Park Yoochun to the cast of the drama. We, too, are curious as to why Park Yoochun can’t appear on variety programs.“

Since Yoochun's exclusion from "Entertainment Section TV" and, later, the "Miss Ripley" cast's exclusion from "Come To Play" and JYJ's exclusion from KBS's "Music Bank", fans have speculated about possible external pressure from SM Entertainment. However, "Entertainment Section TV"'s representative also said that "if ‘Miss Ripley’ becomes very popular, we will become the ones to ask for coverage of their drama.”

"Miss Ripley" will begin airing on May 30th on MBC.

This is fascinating.
"Section TV" is an MBC show, but they only covered the drama once it popular?? funny logic.
If the drama rating are low, Section TV need to answer some question from the higher rank since it's their responsibility to promote it...

and notice that all the statement either comes from Ripley PD, or the drama chief section.

I want Miss Ripley to be a huge hit so badly now. I saw the trailer and thought the drama looks like it's a depressing drama

Do they seriously think anyone will believe such stupid logic?

[puffy-wuffy.livejournal.com]

I hope Miss Ripley isn't going to be bad. Cuz if its awesome, Yoochun and JYJ gets lots of good press! The story its based on, a real-life story, is seriously twisted, though, so I can understand why

I'd like Rippley to be good and even if it's bad i hope Cassies will joi nforces and make the ratings explode and we'll all be there with our #likeaboss gifs.

cassies can not make ratings though, cassies are too small part of korean population..

But when a celebrity like him, whith such a huge fanclub is in a drama it helps imho. Add to this that he gained many ajhumma fans, i'm not worried.

Yeah, right... whoever would need you when it becomes popular without you doing anything for such outcome? I wonder why they speak anything at all about all of this...
