Controversial Stars Converge on 'Amazing Saturday': Broadcast Without Major Edits Sparks Discussion

A recent episode of tvN's variety show 'Amazing Saturday' (hereafter 'Nolto') has become a hot topic of conversation due to the appearance of several celebrities who have faced significant public controversies. The broadcast on the 13th featured singers Roy Kim, Daesung, and Seo Eun-kwang of BtoB as guests.

However, the episode's lineup extended beyond the guests, including Shin Dong-yup, who has been involved in past controversies, and Park Na-rae and SHINee member Key, who are currently facing various allegations. The presence of these five individuals, all linked to past or ongoing issues, created a stir.

Roy Kim was previously implicated in the Jung Joon-young chatroom scandal. While he was later cleared of charges related to the chatroom and moved to a new agency, public sentiment remained unfavorable.

Daesung also faced significant backlash in 2019 following reports of illegal entertainment establishments operating within a building he owned. More recently, alongside suspicions surrounding Shin Dong-yup, Park Na-rae has been dealing with allegations concerning her managers' mass resignation and a property lien application. The 'injections aunt' controversy also led to SHINee's Key and Onew being mentioned, with Key yet to release an official statement.

Despite the high concentration of celebrities with current or past controversies, 'Nolto' aired the episode with minimal edits. Notably, Park Na-rae's opening remarks were reportedly removed from the broadcast.

Netizens reacted with surprise at the lack of significant edits given the guests' backgrounds. While some found the episode entertaining, others questioned the decision to feature so many controversial figures together, with comments like 'I can't believe they aired it without editing out so much' and 'Is this intentional?' being shared.
