2PM’s Nichkhun gets edited out from MBC’s ‘Idol Star Olympics’

 
2PM‘s Nichkhun who has recently been involved in a car accident has unfortunately been edited out from MBC‘s ‘Idol Star Olympics‘.

Head producer Park Suk Won who directed MBC’s London Olympic Special ‘Idol Star Olympics’ informed SportsSeoul on July 25th, “Nichkhun had established a team with T-ara‘s Jiyeon to participate in a mixed-doubles match of ping pong. Because it is not a one-on-one game, we could not edit him out as we would have had to cut out the entire match.”

He explained, “For example, you can’t report a baseball game without including the pitcher. The game will be broadcasted as is, but Nichkhun’s individual interviews have all been edited out.”

“The program airs tonight (July 25th in Korea), and there wasn’t time so we stayed up all night editing,” he continued. “We will work to make sure it isn’t uncomfortable for the viewers to watch.”

Nichkhun who participated in the ‘Idol Star Olympics’ along with 100+ other idols reportedly did extremely well in the mixed-doubles match, and had drawn much attention ahead of the broadcast.

But it seems because of his recent accident, MBC has taken measures to edit Nichkhun out of the Olympic special to avoid controversy.





Do you think this was unfair? Toss us your thoughts in the comment box below.

Big Bang‘s Daesung opened up regarding his car accident that took place last year.

When asked how he felt when he heard the news of the driver’s death, Daesung answered, “I couldn’t think at all, because I never thought that something like this would ever happen to me. I was just so deeply sorry for everything.”

“The company asked if I was going to go home, but I didn’t have the courage to face my parents, so I stayed in my dorm room,” he continued. “I didn’t even feel hungry. I couldn’t focus. I was just so sorry about what happened, I just cried all the time.”

He admitted, “In my room, I read all the comments that people wrote online.” When asked which comments hurt him the most, he said, “I think ‘murderer’ was the word that really hurt me the most. That’s when I learned how heartless and cruel that word really was. I even had thoughts about suicide,” he confessed, breaking the hearts of everyone on the set.

In related news, Daesung and G-Dragon who have both been away from the music scene due to their unfortunate circumstances will be making a long-awaited comeback with the rest of the Big Bang members with a new album on February 29th.

Daesung Thanks Fans at First Press Conference Since Car Accident




On December 6, Big Bang’s Daesung made his first public appearance in seven months at the press conference for his new MBN drama, “What’s Up.” Hundreds of fans came to the press event and the casting crew held a special cake-cutting ceremony with the cake delivered by fans to celebrate the occasion.




“Over the last few months, I thought about the things I’ve done so far and what I should do moving forward. I wanted to apologize to everyone around me and show myself in a better light. Instead of being by myself, I’ll show a more energetic and positive side of me…I’m both nervous and a bit concerned at the same time,” Daesung said.

He also thanked his fans by saying, “I’d like to thank all of my fans for showing up today. Thank you for always showing support and helping me. It gives me strength to see you show love and support to me. I love you.”

Today’s press conference was Daesung’s first public appearance since the tragic car accident in May. Thousands of press, including foreign media, covered the event along with hundreds of fans from around the world. Fans from China, in particular, sent a special wreath and bags of rice to celebrate the occasion, with the message, “Congratulations on the first episode of ‘What’s Up.’ Let’s dominate TV ratings.”



Daesung’s new drama “What’s Up” is about college students majoring in musicals. It’s the first TV drama series starring Daesung where he stars as “Hades,” a kid who struggles with social life while hiding his musical career from his mom. The first episode aired on December 3, but it saw disappointing ratings as it recorded a only a 0.46% TV rating. Good luck with the rest of the show!
