MBC‘s Sunday evening music competition program, 'I Am A Singer 2', will be coming to an end.


“This had been decided upon since October,” an MBC representative stated. “Although it unfortunately fell within the cancellation of both ‘Come to Play‘ and ‘What is Mom‘, it is entirely a coincidence that they happened to fall together.”


The cancellation process began in the fall, with MBC stating that they had no plans to create Season 3. “The last episode will be broadcast on December 23rd.” he said.


Although ‘I Am a Singer 2′ began airing earlier this year with much fanfare, it was not able to live up to the success of its predecessor as
it was beset with quality control problems, stiff competition, and declining viewer interest.


Its replacement program will begin airing on January 6th. A specific plan for the show’s replacement has yet to be decided upon.


Are you disappointed with this news?

did the mbc ceo win a new 'cancel button' as a early christmas present and went crazy when it came to press it?

Whoever is in charge of MBC sure doesn't care about public opinion.

they obviously do cos no one is interested in this show anymore. people lost interest well before the end of the first series

That wasn't my point.
They just canceled 3 shows in a row without even letting there be a finale.

So far it looks like it will be my favorite drama ever.

I want to know if the MBC CEO is on psychiatric medication or something. Because if he isn't, he probably should be.

umm.. maybe you should actually watch their performances before you make judgement on whether they should win or not. they deserve their spot on immortal song 2.. which this article isn't talking about btw.

let's see what k-netizens had to say about their performance. (and you know how critical they can be..)

Article: B1A4 takes final win on 'Immortal Song 2' 'scary children'

Source: TV Report via Nate

1. [+219, -36] I've never really felt that an idol was good while watching them but... This performance broke that for me. Idols these days are so busy making themselves look pretty and acting fake but B1A4 always seems to work hard. I feel their sincerity. There must be a reason senior artists like Nam Hee Suk think well of them. If they continue like this, they can grow more! They did well!

2. [+216, -40] Great performance from the emotions to the high notes. Even their manners, I heard they're nice to their fans. Looks like they can do everything.

3. [+204, -32] Sandeul was really great. I looked up his older performances and realized that you can't hate on him just for being an idol.

i actually think sandeul is a very good singer. one of the best in kpop. my comment was just all sorts of fail. lol!

good to know you're an anti-sungkyu. sorry for calling you a fan of his.

Soon to come: MBC's announcement that it has cancelled all of its current programming and replaced it with just the national anthem on repeat 24/7.

lol please, to anyone who actually watched the show/is in korea, this does not come even remotely as a surprise. i am a singer was already declining in ratings towards the end of the first season once all the good artists 'graduated' and it became obvious that they were getting desperate with the singers they were inviting onto the show (lol Tei, anyone?). they should have quit while they were ahead instead of wasting resources on a second series when people had already lost interest in the show anyway

I think the CEO just decided to ruin everything before he has to resign.
I imagine him being 'I'M DOWN, EVERYONE'S DOWN WITH ME BWAHAHAHAHA' or sth like that.

Woah slow the hell down MBC. Are you going to have anything to air if you keep cancelling stuff haha? Do you even have enough staff to film all the new things?! I'm interested to see the new show line up though.

Not necessarily a bad idea though--hopefully they replace all of these with a better show.
