The counterattack against "My Ugly Duckling" has reached its zenith. The reason is, viewers are now demanding that the SBS variety show stop broadcasting.
The “My Ugly Duckling” controversy began when comedian Park Soo Hong confirmed the rumors circulating about his brother. Previously, it was reported that Park Soo Hong's brother and sister-in-law took away the income he had accumulated over a lifetime of 10 billion won (IDR 127 billion).
Due to this issue, a lot of support poured in for Park Soo Hong. But her family and mother, who were on the panel on "My Ugly Duckling", drew heavy criticism. Netizens criticized Park Soo Hong's mother and alleged that she knew about the embezzlement from the start.
The fans of "My Ugly Duckling" not only asked for Park Soo Hong's mother to be expelled, but for the program not to be aired again for a number of reasons. Check out the stories they convey through the following Pann Nate online community:
Online users began, "To be honest, the men featured on the show have made as much as they can and are very popular. To be honest, they are still popular today. But I don't understand why mothers use their sons as an income method."
She continued, "Do they really believe that these guys can't get married because of their problems? Seeing mothers shake their heads at their sons doesn't suit me… The more I watch them, the more annoying they are. They are the kind of mother-in-law who I would hate. "
"Their boys are all grown up. But they chatter when their children eat, drink or smoke. It's not like they are participating in prostitution or anything surprising," he continued.
Even before Park Soo Hong's controversy surfaced, fans argued that “My Ugly Duckling” was already problematic. "I didn't understand the premise of the program even before Park Soo Hong's controversy. It seems like mothers make fun of their own sons and tease their children for their shortcomings in various ways," explained the user.
"It doesn't seem right when these mothers make fun of their sons in front of the camera just because they are not married at their age. Their sons can't play like other people when they are young because they are busy working," she explained.
"Now their son just wants to rest, play and eat the food they want. Is that so hard to accept?" concluded the post maker.
Once posted, the complaint received a lot of support from fellow users online. Many netizens are like-minded and share various other reasons why "My Ugly Duckling" should be stopped.
"To be honest, I used to watch this program with my mother because she enjoyed it. But now she doesn't want to watch it because she feels sorry for Park Soo Hong," wrote a netter. "I thought the program made fun of the stereotypes made against old bachelors, so I never liked it," added the other netters.
"Please take out the mother who gave birth to Park Soo Hong. It's annoying to see her acting like she's innocent when talking about her family," said the other netters. “Park Soo Hong's mother was against his thoughts about marriage, but he made fun of it by saying, 'Why is she like that?' and 'He has to get married' every time a female guest is there, "concluded the other netters.
Meanwhile, SBS had stated that there had not been any decisions regarding the dismissal of Park Soo Hong's mother. The production team also decided to postpone the broadcast of "My Ugly Duckling" this week to quell controversy. (wk / eval)
