At present, the large-scale boy band competition music program "Kingdom" hosted by South Korea's Mnet TV is in full swing. Since the competition includes mainstream performing arts companies from YG and JYP, "Kingdom" immediately attracted the attention of most K-POP fans after it was broadcast. Since the program has been broadcast, many classic stages have been born.
Six combinations, including BTOB, iKON, SF9, THE BOYZ, ATEEZ, StrayKids, will decide the final winner through round after round. The live stage images after each round of competitions have also won unanimous praise from the audience on major video-on-demand platforms. However, on the afternoon of May 6, South Korean media reported that one of the participants in "Kingdom" had been diagnosed.
It is understood that the confirmed participant is a Dancer. In the recent period, he has participated in the stage of THE BOYZ, SF9, iKON and other groups. As one of the close contacts of this Dancer, iKON member Kim Dong-woo, SF9 member Sun, THE BOYZ Pillar Rock and others have been forcibly quarantined. Other programs they have participated in have also made announcements.
Fortunately, these three close contacts have already undergone nucleic acid testing at the first time, and all of them have shown negative. However, according to local epidemic prevention regulations, they must be quarantined until the 18th of this month before they can continue their activities. Because "Kingdom" was broadcast in the form of advance recording, the Mnet program team said that the diagnosis of the staff would not affect the progress of the future program.
It's just that fans from all walks of life don't agree with Mnet's approach. Because most netizens believe that in the case of a confirmed diagnosis of staff, it is imperative that the program should be stopped immediately, and it is correct to enter the full isolation. But in fact, in addition to the above three members entering the quarantine, other groups have said that they will normally carry out the next acting activities.
So what do you think of this approach by Korean performing arts companies? Feel free to express your views in the comments section.
