Article: 'IAC' PD clarifies controversy over idols being completely edited out "The producers did not edit out certain idols intentionally"


There seemed to be drama over 150 teams being recorded over a 20 hour period but complete matches and idol groups being edited out of the final 2 hour special (specifically C-Clown, Dal Shabet and T-ara).


The PD explained that they had to fit all of the footage into a 2.5 hour time limit so they left out matches that weren't fun or had a huge difference in score according to their own judgement. They assured that they did not edit out idols purely for the sake of not being popular/not having big fandoms.

1. [+411, -10] Not really all that disappointed about T-ara being edited out



2. [+383, -8] Newsen, did Kwang Soo ask you to manipulate the public into thinking that T-ara being edited out was controversial?? Look at them trying to create a controversy that never happened ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ



3. [+277, -10] T-ara's fault



4. [+46, -3] It's because of T-ara that the other idols were edited out with them. If you're going to hate on anyone, hate on T-ara. They're the ones that were in the wrong and got edited out for not apologizing.



5. [+38, -3] Who would want to watch T-ara over the Lunar New Year?? And I saw another article about Soyeon talking crap about wanting to shoot WGM with Psy... Obviously they were edited out because they couldn't air the booing from the audience ㅋ



6. [+35, -5] Obviously edited out for a reason ㅋㅋㅋ So why insist on coming out?



7. [+35, -2] What??? I thought the editing was superb ㅋㅋㅋ



8. [+34, -2] Thanks for editing out T-ara ^^



9. [+32, -2] More than anything, I wanted to praise them for editing out T-ara



10. [+27, -4] They edited out T-ara for the comfort of the viewers... Why is that a problem?



11. [+25, -2] Kwang Soo, there is no controversy. No one even cared that T-ara was edited out.



12. [+21, -3] Newsen needs to change their name to Kwangsooen.

the hatred netizens have against t-ara is delicious and also ridiculous

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

what happened to 4minute Sohyun?? she looks so different!

anyway these comments are boring! it's been 7 months of the same comments over and over

[aures.livejournal.com]

idk, her nose seems different, maybe she got it done when gayoon got her chin done?

[girlsday.livejournal.com]

she didn't get her chin done, hon! i'm sure she's just pumped full of injectibles like 98% of idols.

[love-allure.livejournal.com]

i think she just grew up into her looks, i mean she was only 14 or 15 when they debuted according to wiki. D:

[girlsday.livejournal.com]

more beautiful? that's usually what happens as a girl matures into a woman. ^^

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

did she lose weight too? at first i thought the bangs were throwing me off but i just went into her tag on tumblr to investigate further and i noticed her slinky new figure. she's really blossoming

[girlsday.livejournal.com]

thank you.

[itsprincess.livejournal.com]

her face got smaller or her ears got bigger.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

I wish C-CLOWN and Dalshabet had been shown though, they're two of my current bias groups and that really sucks. :( I don't care so much about T-ara.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

idols deserve better than the treatment they got from the editing of this show. cramming 22 hours worth of footage into a 2.5 hour show is stupid.

the iac was a fun idea to give idols a chance to show their other talents, but this whole thing just ended up making idols waste so much time and energy just to be seen for a few seconds.

[rezzypenguin.livejournal.com]

agreed! Plus so many idols had to go straight to their next day schedule's and 22 hours is just ridiculous and to get hardly anything out of it!

[aures.livejournal.com]

i actually feel bad for the idols being edited out, they worked hard i assumed.. time wasted

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

disappointed that t-ara are being crucified for this, the real issue here is the unfairness of IAC to overwork idols for essentially nothing

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

also does anyone actually watch the show? the only good thing to come out of it is the fancams

t-ara and miss a are so cute together :-) http://vimeo.com/58441711

4MINUTE SLAYED ARCHERY omg so proud of those girls! it sucks that the competition was so unbalanced what with sistar's constant backstage juicing before performing smh.

it feels like netizens have been recycling these t-ara comments for so long now! zzzz

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

this whole damn thing is a mess.

[charlotterhys.livejournal.com]

C-Clown, I love you. ;-; I bet you were adorable, too.

[earthequality.livejournal.com]

Then why the fuck do you film 22 hours worth of footage for barely three hours, this isn't The Hobbit. :///

smdh

oh and better yet, the idols apparently made less in 22 hours than I do in week filming this bullshit.

[momomoing.livejournal.com]

look at that T-ara hate

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

rme @ this show tbh

...and yet I tune in every year...sigh

[scubajr.livejournal.com]

This whole event was a mess. Why film with so many idols if they weren't even going to be shown for 22 hours when you only needed 2.5 hours of footage?

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

Well, they actually need to go through all the eliminations... but they should just air more of it... separate the events or something. Even the things that got aired, like the archery events, weren't completely shown (maybe just the final?)

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

well when yoy film for over 20 im sure it'll bebfucking hard to get good 2.5 hours of footage

[scarletapples.livejournal.com]

no love for my c-clown bbs D:

20+ hours of shooting, and you try to cram it into such a small time limit...IDEK what logic they had going into this... maybe because they never had any in the first place, hmmm

[vikihpnerd.livejournal.com]

Dang, it's been a while. Why still hating on T-ara...get OVER IT. it's not like they are the only group that's not pure and innocent. It's just that their scandals been exposed unlike other lucky groups.
