MBC’s Sunday evening variety continues to flounder

Suffering from the ill effects of the prolonged strike and lack of quality, MBC‘s Sunday evening variety block has been reduced to a shell of its former self as competing programs from KBS and SBS leave no room for MBC to gain a foothold.

The latest episodes of MBC’s ‘Infinity Girls‘ and ‘I Am a Singer 2′ gained ratings of 2.2% and 6.1% respectively, according to AGB Nielson. This is in comparison with their competitors, which all scored higher than MBC’s programs.

KBS‘s ‘Happy Sunday‘ (consisting of ‘Qualifications of Men’ and ‘1 Night 2 Days Season 2‘) earned 14.2%, while SBS‘s ‘Good Sunday‘ (‘Running Man’ and ‘Laws of the Jungle 2‘) took first place with 16.8%.

What do you think the problem is for MBC? How can they get back on top?

Younha can’t sleep because of ‘I Am a Singer 2′?

Singer Younha revealed that she’s been having trouble sleeping.

On August 2nd, Younha tweeted, “Sleep please.. I really want to sleep, but I can’t,” expressing frustration about her insomnia at 4AM in the morning.

It’s speculated that she could not fall asleep because she was nervous about her upcoming stage on ‘I Am a Singer 2‘.

Younha is said to have joined the cast of ‘I Am A Singer 2′ after various meetings with ‘I Am a Singer’ producer, Kim Young Hee. There were rumors that she was so interested in casting Younha that she visited the star during her radio program, ‘Younha’s Starry Night‘.

Meanwhile, Younha is scheduled to record for ‘I Am A Singer 2′ at MBC‘s Ilsan Dream Center within a few days.
