On August 7th, KBS aired a “dream girls summer special” for their sports variety show, ‘Dream Team 2‘, which contained some suggestive and licentious scenes that left viewers feeling uncomfortable.
Girl group stars like SISTAR, Girl’s Day, CSJH, Nine Muses, Dal Shabet, Rania, Aurora, Lee Pani, Kim Mi Yeon, Kim Na Young, Kang Eun Bi and others guested on the show for what was supposed to be a fun series of games.
Since it took place in a waterpark, female contestants wore T-shirts over their bathing suits. Unfortunately, some of the matches called for inappropriate scenes that made viewers watching with their families feel rather uncomfortable.
The scenes in question would be repeated on end, and cameras would even zoom up to specific body parts, providing one-shots to the celebrities with the best bodies. This issue was compounded by the fact that the program was aired during a time slot when families gathered to watch TV together at night.
Soon after the broadcast, the viewer board for ‘Dream Team 2′ was met with an onslaught of angry viewers who left comments like, “It was as if I was watching an old adult’s program”, and “Cameras would take shots from the front and even one-shots of the contestants’ breasts. It was just embarrassing.”
Other viewers, however, defended the program by commenting, “It was a refreshing broadcast fit for the summer weather. I felt as if I had gone on vacation myself”, and “This is reverse discrimination. It’s apparently fine when guys run around with their tops off, but it’s suddenly sexually suggestive for girls to wear t-shirts over their bikinis?”
I didn't know what to tag this =_=" and is imageshack being a pisspot to anything else?

Date: 2011-08-07 05:08 pm (UTC)I haven't viewed the broadcast myself, but if the show was recorded without the emphatic spotlight these shows tend to use for dramatic effect, I wonder if there would be such an outcry.
You have to raise an eyebrow when a close up wholly consists of the person's boobs (If that is the case of the first photo).

Date: 2011-08-07 04:05 pm (UTC)i think that's the problem and not girls wearing swimsuits. for a family program, there really is no need to zoom in on certain body parts. especially since some at these girls are underage.
but that girl's arms are scary thin. :o(

Date: 2011-08-07 04:41 pm (UTC)And what, Korean women go around with coats during summer? Cause if they don't, I'm pretty sure kids can see boobs and asses in public swimming pools, beaches, and depending on the clothes, even the streets too.
I kind of agree that there was no need to do a close-up with that girl's breast, though. Cameramen need to sort out their priorities when filming, maybe?
In any case, I think they're overreacting a little bit.
