Sunmi's appearance as a judge on the JTBC program entitled 'Sing Again' drew a lot of criticism. Not wanting to stay silent, he finally responded to all of the accusations via personal Instagram.
JTBC has presented a music competition program entitled "Sing Again". Different from other music competitions, the contestants who appear in this event are singers who are considered underrated during their career. Meanwhile, there were also several Korean musicians who participated in this event as hosts and judges.
Lee Seung Gi was chosen as the host of "Sing Again". Meanwhile, for the jury, there were a number of names appointed, which included senior and junior musicians. Jeon In Kwon, Kim Eana, Lee Sun Hee and You Hee Yeol as seniors. While the juniors are Super Junior's Kyuhyun, Lee Hae Ri Davichi, WINNER's Song Min Ho and Sunmi.
But some netters even highlighted the abilities of the judges. Sunmi received the most criticism. Despite having a career in the K-Pop industry since 2007 with Wonder Girls, haters said that he was not good enough to be a judge at the event.
Responding to accusations of haters, Sunmi finally answered accusations of haters. On Thursday (3/12), he shared an Instagram Story that wrote his heart. Feeling doubtful of his abilities, Sunmi promised to be more careful and work harder in the future.
"I know it will be tough and difficult. I feel it in every shooting episode. I wonder if I have the right to judge and evaluate the contestants. I will always be careful," wrote Sunmi. "Everyone is on a different path and I believe they have different stories and thoughts. I just want to share and convey the various feelings that each participant has prepared with all my heart. I will work hard and do my best in the future."
Meanwhile, "Sing Again" featured contestants who had previously released songs and albums. Although they have talent in the field of singing, unfortunately their name is not very well known in the public ear. Therefore, they have the opportunity once again to attract public attention through this event. / wk
