SBS’s Family Outing featuring 2NE1 member, Sandara Park and After School’s UEE, is in a controversy over the vast difference in screen time of the broadcast between the two guests.
On November 15, the first episode of the two’s guesting was aired. Viewers were irate because of the UEE-bias shown on the show. They expected that the November 22 episode would be more Dara-biased.
However, the November 22 broadcast, still showed that Family Outing had more camera time for UEE, instead of focusing it on Sandara Park, who was largely left out of the picture in the last episode.
This pulled up the controversy issue again over FO favoring UEE by giving her a concentrated amount of air time. This would not have been too bad if they gave equal amounts of time for the other guest member, but they remained numb to the complaints of the netizens and TV viewers alike.
UEE is not only featured on Family Outing, but also in MBC’s “We Got Married,” with Park Jae Jung, MBC’s “Change the World Quiz”, “Queen Seo Duk”, and “You’re Beautiful,” apart from her group, After School’s group performance activities.
In contrast, Sandara Park is not currently active in any shows, and her group, 2NE1 is in hiatus due to preparation of their first full album. 2NE1 members Park Bom, Minzy, and CL are promoting their respective singles, but Dara is not promoting her single, “Kiss.”
Not focusing on Dara in a variety show is a pity, since she has experienced variety shows in the Philippines. In Family Outing, she did not show much confidence, but interacted well with other family members like Yu Jae-Seok, Kim Su-Ro, and Lee Hyori.
The November 22 rating for Family Outing is 0.9% lower than the 17.8% recorded rating for last week, as reported by AGB Nielsen.
