SBS‘s 'Inkigayo' has decided to abolish its rank and award system.
Beginning on July 15th, ‘Inkigayo’ will be removing its Take 7, where the seven of the most popular artists from that week are featured, and the Mutizen Song award.
A producer of the show explained to Newsen through a phone call stating, “We believe that rather than the ranking system, the most important thing is the genre K-Pop being recognized worldwide. Therefore, we have decided to abolish the system after much discussion. There’s really no meaning behind a ranking system. We have decided to undergo this change in hopes that viewers can just enjoy the music.”
“There are a lot of K-Pop stars in the music industry that have talent. We wanted to break free from the repetitive system, in which artists release new songs and perform, so we plan on redesiging our system by having the concept of more special stages . For viewers to enjoy the music, we will have more collaboration stages and much more.”
With ‘Inkigayo’ following MBC‘s ‘Music Core‘ of becoming an awardless program, KBS‘s ‘Music Bank‘ remains as the only music program from the three major broadcasting stations with the awarding system.

Date: 2012-07-10 05:00 pm (UTC)Well I'm all for special stages. Maybe this way groups will perform more songs from their albums...

Date: 2012-07-10 05:10 pm (UTC)i'm sure after a while big groups with a lot of trophies don't even care anymore

Date: 2012-07-10 05:10 pm (UTC)Also if rankings are taken away, i wonder what new stipulation entertainment companies would give their rookies before they could get better dorms/treatment. Will some new system arise?

Date: 2012-07-10 05:11 pm (UTC)I like the idea actually -- more collaboration stages and hopefully the chance for groups to promote other than their title songs. :D

Date: 2012-07-10 05:29 pm (UTC)i do disagree with your idea that it isn't good news for artists that are less established. IF they do go with special stages and collabs, it would be a great vehicle to showcase talents within groups. whether it is the group which gets lost due to the more popular groups OR individuals who get lost within the group because certain members are usually hyped/highlighted.
this whole thing could provide to be rather entertaining AND bring in a bigger audience from old to new.

Date: 2012-07-10 05:40 pm (UTC)i can live without choreography, especially if it's going to be tacky and distracting. if they must, their agencies must cut down on their schedules. performing the same song for 8 weeks is dull for those who regularly watch these programs or follow them regularly online.

Date: 2012-07-10 06:04 pm (UTC)Nonetheless, I hope SBS follows through with this "more special stages" idea. I'd love to see a different show every week.
