Some of the B1A4 members are coming under fire for lacking certain knowledge.
Currently starring in the KBS Joy baby-raising variety program, B1A4’s Hello Baby, the members of B1A4 recently participated in a battle quiz over their knowledge of Seoul.
However, as the quiz progressed, the members were found often stumped on what many considered some of the most basic knowledge of current events and history.
When asked for the members to list the name of Seoul’s current mayor, member CNU was the only one who could answer correctly, ‘Park Won Soon’ while other gave responses such as, ‘Park Won Kyu’, ‘Kim Moon Soo (the name of Gyeonggi-do’s governor)’ and even ‘The Seoul Mayor’.
The members didn’t fare any better on questions like, ‘Name the five palaces in Seoul’ with many failing to answer correctly.
Following the episode’s airing, netizens took to the show′s board to criticize the members, calling them unlearned and ignorant.
The issue grew to the point a response was made by the show’s production.
In it, it cited that most of the B1A4 members were non-Seoul citizens and as such, were a little lacking in knowledge of the Seoul area and history.
It added that the members had spent a difficult time as trainees in Seoul, not even having their own cell phones and asked that viewers continue to watch as the members learn more about Seoul as they continue living in Korea′s capital.
B1A4 recently released the track Hey Girl for the One Thousandth Man drama OST and is currently preparing its next album.

Date: 2012-08-23 03:00 pm (UTC)I sometimes get a big urge to choke netizens lol. Can't imagine if Kojiharu was a Kpop idol, they'd tear her to pieces for not knowing ANYTHING xDDD

(I'm usually very sane about K-pop but I'll admit that the day they find themselves embroiled in a real scandal will be a sad day for me. I've never been like this with other groups!)

Date: 2012-08-23 04:27 pm (UTC)But it's hard to blame idols for their lack of knowledge when they are always busy practicing dancing, singing, promoting, and all sorts.
Change the system netizens if you want your idols educated. Allow them time for education.

Date: 2012-08-23 06:07 pm (UTC)As for the landmarks, again, since when were factoids a necessity?Personally I hated that part of the show because I felt like it was irrelevant to both B1A4 and the babies. Ask them more child related questions how about?
I'm pissed because now, to appease cranky netizens, the show will focus even more unnecessarily on Seoul and B1A$ getting to know it rather than the 2 children they're in charge of. :/
