MBC needs to…relax…(?)
I really don’t know what they need to do to rectify their problem.
Once again, silly pride has affected innocent people. MBC has halted Kang In’s job as MC on Sunday’s Dongan Club, Nothing is Impossible and Show! Music Core. They have also refused to let Super Junior appear on any of MBC’s variety shows.

Why? You may ask.
Well… Super Junior is also on SBS’s Good Sunday: Explorers of the Human Body which shows at the same time as one of MBC’s variety shows. This makes MBC very angry. They say, “having to appear on other channels’ shows at the same time are against morality.”
. . .
Obviously the people at MBC are on some type of narcotic and should be drug tested immediately. Killing people is against morality, stealing is against morality, appearing in competing station’s variety shows? That is simply unfortunate. SM Entertainment should have been more careful about their planning but still, it is unfair for MBC to ban Super Junior from their network because of the competition that arises. It is kind of wierd for an artist to be on two different stations on the same timeslot but… seriously… seriously. Of course MBC should be upset, but to ban them? This is a station from the same country that exiled whats-his-face but I like to give people more credit. (I realize that I seriously split hairs in this paragraph).
MBC would have done better to work around the issue instead of demanding an apology from SM Entertainment. I don’t like SM or Super Junior but I can see that MBC is blowing this thing out of proportion. SM says that they are still negotiating. MBC must be really desperate for some kind of network attention or really full of themselves or, even more frightening, think they are right.

I don’t know how I feel about this situation…I’m not a Super Junior fan, but I have watched some of the said MBC programs they’ve come on, and Kang In (who is the one who’s been on the most programs) is pretty funny… I mean, from a business perspective, I can kind of understand MBC, but at the same, they don’t own Super Junior… Super Junior has a right to go on other programs, even if that means both programs will be on at the same time… MBC does need to relax…
