Heechul reveals why SM Entertainment did not participate in 'K-Pop Star'

[yournoona]

JTBC aired a new episode of 'Ssul Jeon' on February 6 and discussed music survival programs, such as 'Superstar K' and 'K-Pop Star.'

 

Heo Ji Woong asked Heechul if he knew why SM Entertainment dropped out of season 3 of 'K-Pop Star,' saying, "There are rumors that if they don't do training to a certain extent in SM, it 'gets hard to work together.'"

 

 

 

Heechul said, "In the case with SM, like I said before, when SM produces dramas, they want to take care of their kids," which might explain why SM tends to cast people signed under their agency.  Heechul continued, "Just like that, SM has a sense of duty in which they feel like they need to take responsibility for their [current] trainees."  SM viewed their trainees very highly; consequently, the agency never cast any of the people who auditioned on 'K-Pop Star.'  However, this became controversial as people wondered, "Why don't they cast anyone?" and "Do they not feel any responsibility?"  

 

Heechul said, "There was so much controversy that they decided to just not participate this time."

Well I think what he said is the thing that we already know....

[dinolover]

heechul is losing his grip on words, not nearly as good as speaking as he used to be.

[Get The Job Done]

They have MarK Taeyong Seulgi I mean who else do they need.??

[Slowpoke X]

better that than signing bunch of kids who never see light of the day

[TiramiQ]

oh wow he is praising SM for once 

[rinamy]

R.I.P. Supearls :(  Lee Chae Young better be signed by YG or JYP is all I'm saying.  12-years old and oozing ridiculous amounts of talent in both singing and dancing, imo the most talented contestant in this season of KPop Star.

 

I mean look, so good <3  I'm already a fan.

i got confused...im having a slow morning...what is he trying to say? lol

[Rory]

Lol, as if the exec's at SM would discuss this with one of their idols. He's just like the rest of us, coming to whatever conclusion he can based on what information is already out there. I'm starting to wonder if he's sometimes regurgitating netizen comments.

Or maybe its just the way its been translated... Ever thought about that?

[HappyS]

It makes sense though, why would SM sign people on the show when they have a large amount of trainees, who are properly and personally trained by them, under their roof.

[Kyungsoo00]

I'm pretty sure they were hoping to find someone at the beginning of the first season why would you agree to join such program if you will not benefit 

from it right? But probably they realize that the contestants doesn't fit their standards and they can find someone better that will audition in their company which they can do PS and improve before debut.

[CALICO CAT]

firstly, they probably have enough trainees already

also the contestants of the last seasons didn't make the cut for sm so why bother going another year

Yes. chaeyoung has a yg aura lol

She can play the keyboard as well. Huge improvement as well in stage presence. i envy these kids. when i was 12, i did nothing -_- too late to step my game up. old af.

[SAYAKA]

i kind of figured that was why SM pulled out. I think it's best that SM takes responsibility for the trainees they do have

wow, she is really good

it's amazing how a talented 12 year old has more presence than some idols

 Maybe he is trying to be serious for once .. trying

[Mystery Survivor]

I feel that YG is in the show only to find new high quality trainees (like Bang Ye-dam and Lee Seung Hoon) instead of someone who can debut right away.

[Saesang Pan]

one time he talk abt drama, then trainees, then responsibility, then suddenly so much controversies (that idk tbh). get a grip heechul

lmao at "responsibilities to their trainees" tho   sure..

[silicon soul]

We always knew this, SM have trainees that are very capable of debuting. Look at exo, that's 12 they managed to debut, imagine the number of trainees who tried and were cut

 

The more intriguing question is why SM even participated on the show if there was never any real chance of pick a contestant in the first place....

[lulu0987]

Oh right,

and since no one of them has the look that sm wants.

[JaynaeNicole]

Oh right,

that's what i was thinking,that SM probably saw in the other seasons,that they may be talented but they don't have the "Look" that SM usually goes for...

So are kpop star contestants ugly?
