Article that talks about how idols are being pushed out of variety shows. Older viewers have become the majority for viewer ratings because the younger generation is watching cable or smartphone app programs or through the computer. Children are also earning more popularity with shows like 'Dad, where are you going' and 'Star Junior Show'. As such, idols are now turning to dramas now that they've been "kicked out" of variety shows.

1. [+189, -11] Idols aren't even funny anymore. There's no group that makes you laugh out loud like god or Shinhwa used to be able to. They should just disappear back to their rightful place as singe... wait, they're not even singers, what are they?

2. [+102, -3] Dad, where are you going is the jjang!!!!!!!!

3. [+102, -4] Can they disappear from the dramas too, I'd rather they be on varieties than dramas

4. [+11, -1] Maybe because I'm older now but... I feel like any program with idols in it are the same show with a different title

5. [+11, -2] Idol out

1. [+119, -2] I hope other varieties don't exploit children with the popularity of shows like Dad! where are you going

2. [+114, -7] It's about time idols have disappeared ㅡㅡ All you see are idols the minute you turn on the TV

3. [+104, -0] Their bubble has already popped in the music industry so I guess their bubble is on the verge of being pupped in the variety industry as well. The market is so oversaturated that the only ones that will survive are the ones with talent and public appeal.

4. [+114, -16] I seriously can't stand idols acting. Can't concentrate on a thing.

5. [+65, -5] But why are they going into the drama industry now. Just stay in your idol area and work hard to become #1 on Music Bank or something. Don't you see all these dramas doing crap because of idols?

6. [+58, -6] It's about time idols stopped coming out. They don't do a thing for this country. They don't sing, they don't know how to do anything. All they do is get plastic surgery and instill warped values in children by placing emphasis on beauty. Look at the state of our elementary school students lately, I really have no words..

7. [+44, -2] Now all of the companies will be trying to debut children when they're 7 years old because of these popular children variety shows...

8. [+43, -4] Please disappear back to your music programs

9. [+34, -1] Idols were never "pushed back", they're simply being returned to where they belong.

10. [+31, -0] Yes, please disappear.
