News: Family Outing criticized for favoritism

If it’s not enough that Family Outing’s October 15 episode’s rating dropped during the second half of the show, viewers and netizens are now causing chaos on the show’s message boards about the apparent “favoritism” of the show’s two female guests.

The ratings of the show dropped when viewers realized that the episode would focus more on After School’s UEE, as opposed to 2NE1’s Sandara Park.

Fans of the popular girl group, 2NE1 and its member, Dara, protest saying that they barely see the girls and Dara nowadays, what with their hiatus, while After School’s UEE has CFs, broadcasts, plus a drama where her fans can see her.

2NE1 fans protest, saying that, “The last broadcast of Family Outing was biased on UEE, and as Dara fans, we are offended by it.”

They added, saying, “Sandara Park is afraid of dogs, and does not eat egg yolks, but the show’s producers did not care about this or even consider it.”

Korea has actually seen little of Dara Park and the girls of 2NE1 apart from me2day updates and some performances of the girls in universities, and of course, Park Bom’s solo stages for the promotion of her single, “You and I.” Viewers and fans have noticed that Dara had lesser interactions with the members of the show’s family and lesser screen time, and this, unfortunately, caused their ire.

Some fans say that they are actually tired of seeing UEE everywhere, as evidenced by her solo CFs and a recent drama, not to mention her group activities also. This fact gained a lot of criticism for the show for focusing on the guest who is more active currently.

I’m a Dara fangirl myself but some of BlackJacks reactione are crazy.  They should finish the 2 Episodes first, see if Dara really got the least screentime. It’s too early to react and be negative. I hope they realize that this could affect Dara’s image too.

I knew it! Dara‘s hoodie has something to do with Adidas and Jeremy Scott haha. Apparently this piece belongs to the Adidas Originals X Originals where Almighty Jeremy Scott is one of the featured designers.

adidas Originals by Originals x Jeremy Scott Fall 2009

Thanks to our peeps sakata‘s tip, I was able to source that the design is from Jeremy Scott. GD has a pair of J.S. sneakers  (above) which has the similar print . The African inspiration is clearly seen on the prints of the inner lining up to it’s tongue. This design belongs to the Adidas Originals X Originals X Jeremy Scott Fall 2009 Collection.

the J-wings x adidas originals by originalsAbove is  also a J.S. designed sneakers called J Wings. The high top features a set of angel wings over a white tonal leather. She wore it in the entire episode and I think the first time I saw her wear this was at their ‘Last Farewell’ performance at Inkigayo.

Honestly, I’m not sure about Shinee being popular in the Phils. .. Almighty BIGBANG should be in the article too. Lollipop + Gara Gara Go entered the chart and have been playing on FM stations.
