After several controversies with the public, MBC’s I Am A Singer aired its fourth episode today and surprised many viewers.

The show first started off with an on-screen apology that stated, “We are very sorry for worrying our viewers and because we were unable to keep our promise. We will return with a better stage by listening to your concerns and opinions.”


Due to the several problems that the show had faced the past week, it has been decided that the program would be discontinued for about a month to resolve issues. A special three hour episode, lasting 165 minutes, was thus aired to not disappoint viewers.

With an extended time frame, the show was able to fit the beginning of the next mission to the very end, revealing the next disqualified singer. The mission had the seven contestants perform each others hit songs, which made them much more focused on their performances.

The singers were selected to perform the following songs:

Yoon Do Hyun – ‘Dash’ (originally by Baek Ji Young)
Park Jung Hyun (Lena Park) - ‘First Impression’ (orginally by Kim Gun Mo)
Kim Bum Soo – ‘Please’ (originally by Lee Sora)
Kim Gun Mo – ‘You Are My Lady’ (originally by Jung Yup)
Baek Ji Young - ‘Promise’ (originally by Kim Bum Soo)
Jung Yup - ‘Will Forget’ (originally by Yoon Do Hyun)
Lee Sora - “My Day” (originally by Park Jung Hyun)

As always, the five hundred audience members acted as the judges. The performances were mind-blowing, as many left remarks such as, “It was better than I expected,” “I was so moved that I almost cried,” and, “My heart was beating rapidly.” However, a contestant still had to be disqualified, which ended up being Jung Yup. Although he changed the style of Yoon Do Hyun’s rock song to fit his own vocal style, it was not enough for the audience, as he ended up getting the least amount of votes.

 Rejecting the offer for a re-challenge, Jung Yup left the show on a bright note along with his manager, Kim Shin Young. He stated, “It is an honor to be just a part of this show with such great artists.”

Viewers were also moved with this broadcast and were disappointed on its suspension, as comments were left such as:
“I couldn’t keep track of the time.”
“Can’t this program keep continuing? While watching, every issue and controversy that it had disappeared from my mind.”
“Today’s performance was really something else.”
“Professional singers can improve as well….. very surprising.”
“I could tell the emotion that the singers had when they were singing.”
“We were impatient but MBC was even more impatient.”
“Although its already decided, can’t Kim Young Hee PD come back?”
“I can’t believe this show won’t be airing next week.”

The replacement for the producer will be Shin Jung Soo, who is also the PD for ‘Come To Play’. Let’s hope the variety show will return to the public in a brighter note.

Earlier today, we reported that MBC’s ‘I Am A Singer’ PD, Kim Young Hee, had been fired due to bending the rules during an elimination round.

With this, singers from MBC’s ‘I Am A Singer’ passed on their opinions to MBC regarding producer Kim Young Hee’s abrupt replacement that it was too harsh. With this, they requested the return of Kim Young Hee PD as well.

The managers of the singers that star in ‘I Am A Singer’ met urgently on the afternoon of the 23^rd, and asked for each other’s opinions.

One manager of a singer revealed to Star News after the meeting, “Most of the singers’ opinions are that this replacement of Kim Young Hee PD was severe indeed. After the meeting of the managers, we met up with MBC’s entertainment chief director and deputy director, and officially requested the return of producer Kim Young Hee.”

This manager proceeded to add, “[In response] to our request, MBC showed the opinion that since it was an already decided issue, the return of Kim Young Hee PD was difficult, and said that they would soon find the best solution for this. In today’s meeting with MBC, we only talked up to that point.”

The decision of the appearance of top stars such as Kim Gun Mo, Lee So Ra, Yoon Do Hyun, Park Jung Hyun, Baek Ji Young, Kim Bum Soo, and Jung Yeop in ‘I Am A Singer’ was largely affected by Kim Young Hee PD, who is a veteran producer with 25 years of experience. With this, the news of replacing Kim Young Hee had come as a sorry shock for these singers, and the singers had an emergency meeting to send their opinion of Kim Young Hee returning to MBC.

This morning, MBC had revealed that they were replacing Kim Young Hee PD for his failure to keep basic principles, stating, “Even if at the filming site, an unforeseen situation had occurred and the cast and staff had cooperated and changed the rules, the elimination of 7^th place was a promise with viewers.”

‘I Am A Singer’ was previously surrounded in controversy after Kim Gun Mo who came in last place on the 20^th, was not cut but given a chance to have a re-challenge.
