Netflix's 'Physical 100' confirms a second season

Article: Netflix's 'Physical 100' confirms season two production... even stronger contestants will be joining

[+154] It would be funny to have an 'Anchovy 100' show, a competition to see who's more frail and weak ㅋㅋ

[+119] Please make sure you thoroughly do background checks on all of the contestants. Force hundreds of thousands in penalty fees if anyone tries to hide a history of school violence, s*xual assault, assault, or drunk driving. Keep it in the contracts.

[+33] We all know it's rigged. "Returning with even stronger rigging"

[+35] Oh, this drama series? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I guess they're bringing on even "stronger" scriptwriters this time

[+32] 'Rigged 100'

[+33] It may have gotten a lot of hate but I guess it made them enough money to keep going

[+52] I don't want female contestants next time. Or let the female contestants get their own separate show.
- [+3] 'Siren' is fun
- [+1] Men and women are equal

[+12] Please don't rig the next season... and don't include 'roiders...

[+1] I don't think there can be any stronger contestants than we already had

[+2] It's all scripted in the end

[+-] The ending for season one wasn't clean enough where I feel good about another season... it feels like leaving the bathroom without wiping~~~

'Queendom Puzzle' called ruthless for ranking idols into tiers

Article: "Why are they being divided into ranks?" 'Queendom Puzzle' criticized for dividing girl group members into ranks

Source: Insight + Insight via Instagram

[+127] Mnet can't be trusted;;

[+117] The world is a competition that naturally puts everyone into ranks and orders. It's your effort that moves you up or down those ranks and makes the world a beautiful place.
- Yeah, I feel like more competition will inspire contestants to put out better performances, which will then bring more worth to their name as singers, and even raise viewer ratings as there's more to watch

[+72] This is how the idol industry has always been. I think it's weird that people are choosing to watch a ranking competition show and then complaining about it? 

[+64] Ridiculous to me that Miru is tier 4;;; She was with NMB's peak and was even a central member, no??????
- [+10] Okay but what's NMB ㅋㅋㅋ

[+63] Why did no one complain when 'Physical 100' was ranking people too? 

[+52] I wouldn't mind if they were being ranked after they all did a mission or something but ranking them right off the bat like this feels a bit abusive

[+29] It can't be helped considering it's a competition show, no?

[+27] Just don't watch if it bothers you

[+26] What is so "cruel" about this? Can you even call these proper ranks when they're all at the same level, basically? I think the fact that these people are all nugus compared to Twice, Black Pink, New JEans, and IVE is more cruel than their ranks ㅜㅜ

[+25] Aren't ranks totally normal in a show about competition??? If they want a higher rank, they can work harder. 

[+11] I get that ranks exist but it feels wrong to do this to currently active singers ㅋ It'd be fine if they were pre-debut but ranking current singers as tiers 1, 2, 3, 4 is a bit ㅋㅋ at that rate, why bother ranking anyone below the tiers of BTS and GD? ㅋ Feels a bit problematic. 

[+5] Let's be real, viewers already have a silent tier ranking of their own for these idols when they're watching ㅋㅋ

[+4] Wait, where were these complaints when 'Produce 101' was ranking kids from 1 to 101? ㅋㅋㅋ

[+2] Yeah but why is Joo-E in a tier 1 rank

[+-] All the more exciting to watch tier 4 idols fight their way up the tiers then

'Hangout with Yoo' records lowest viewer ratings all year

Article: 'Hangout with Yoo' viewer ratings hit all time low with Lee Mijoo and Lee Yi Kyung's date special

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+521] I haven't watched 'Hangout with Yoo' in a while because of Lee Mijoo..

[+578] The show became boring once it got blatantly obvious that Yoo Jae Suk is trying push the people behind his own line. He's been able to make it thus far thanks to the image he's built but I have to admit that he's hyping Lee Mijoo up more than the talent she's able to back it up with. She speaks informally to PDs and other people older than her and yells at them, which is crossing the line for me. She may be their cute little dongsaeng off camera or whatever but there's no reason us viewers should have to put up with that behavior on screen. Lee Mijoo originally rose to variety fame with her kind, sensitive image, and I think her character has veered off course from that. I'd rather she just go back to her singing career and focusing on that. The PD of this show is also a problem. He failed to clean up the table set by Kim Tae Ho PD and is just refilling side dishes upon side dishes instead of coming up with anything new. What is the point of these missions without any destination? It's obvious the current PD has no ideas of his own other than following whatever Kim Tae Ho PD has already set up.

[+321] Yoo Jae Suk bores me now... it's getting old

[+255] Viewer ratings won't recover unless they switch this show to Yoo Jae Suk solo. I haven't watched since they added Haha and Jung Jun Ha. It's so boring how he keeps pulling in members of his line and forcing screentime for them. 

[+184] No one cares about this love line because the show keeps forcing it even when the two in question keep denying it.. 

[+163] Mijoo is so boring... I don't get why they hype her up so much

[+132] I don't know why we have to watch them go on dates on the show anyway?

[+125] Maybe I'm too old for these shows now but I don't get what the point of it is. Seems like it'd be better off with Yoo Jae Suk solo and hosting a guest once in a while, but as it is now, there's too much going on, and I really don't know what the point of it all is. 

[+31] I was a big fan of Yoo Jae Suk... but after a while, it became obvious that his shows were more of a stage for him to bring his friends on and grab them more screentime. Why is he so desperate to make Lee Mijoo a thing? It's so blatant that it actually turns me off from Yoo Jae Suk completely... I think him looking out for others is coming back to bite him...

Article: 'Hangout with Yoo' reps announce the two members leaving the show... "two week break to reorganize"

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+1,150] Mijoo, Jinjoo, and Yi Kyung are all boring.. Way too much forced tension. The show would be better if Yoo Jae Suk went solo and just hosted guests once in a while. Every time these three are on my screen, they force everyone to feel hyped way too hard, and I'm sorry to say this but they're too boring.

[+767] But I don't like Mijoo and Jinjoo.. ㅡㅡ

[+542] Am I the only one who finds Lee Yi Kyuing, Mijoo, and Park Jinjoo boring....

[+570] Just bring back 'Infinity Challenge'

[+411] But Bong Sun unni is the funniest member of the show...?

[+170] No, take out Haha... ㅜㅜ why do they keep Haha around ㅜㅜ..

[+107] Should be taking out Lee Mijoo. They're cutting the wrong people.

[+101] I haven't been watching since Mijoo, Jinjoo, and Lee Yi Kyung joined... It's way too obvious that they're trying too hard to make everyone laugh~

[+236] But Jung Jun Ha and Shin Bong Sun are the funniest ones

[+1,117] Just have Yoo Jae Suk go solo and play all the roles himself...

[+113] Please kick Lee Mijoo out first

[+204] Bong Sun and Jun Ha were not the problem... Mijoo and Jinjoo's screaming makes the show too noisy to watch
