The episode (which was about kidnapping Andy) is being criticized for its mistreatment of Andy. 'Infinity Girls' were seen putting their hands inside his shirt and groping Andy's body, forcing kisses on him on the cheek. They then tied Andy up with rubber string around his arms, private, and neck, and dragged him around the streets. Viewers are questioning whether this would be more controversial than it is had it been a female celebrity that was treated this way.

1. [+232, -6] Would it be this quiet if Andy was a female celebrity? How badly do the Shinhwa Broadcast producers view the members that they think this is appropriate for broadcast? In last week's quiz, the show told people to count the number of times the PDs sigh every time Shinhwa bores them... There have been a lot of negative opinions on Shinhwa Broadcast but I thought producers would take our feedback and fix the show... but this crosses the line.

2. [+207, -3] The PD said that fans are not viewers. They changed the format of the show and got rid of the viewers' board on the homepage. Do they not hear these criticisms? Do they just think that these voices are fans being angry for no reason? Whether you are a fan or not, the content of the show was absolutely inappropriate. I think the producers desperately need a meeting on the direction they're taking this show.

3. [+207, -5] I enjoyed the show in the beginning, but as a fan, it's getting more and more difficult to watch. Create a fun program that's fit for Shinhwa... As a group, they're the perfect variety fit. They don't need much to work with. There are two months left until they leave for their Asia tour... producers should go back to their roots and swap out the production staff entirely. This is so wrong... I expect to see change in the next two months.

4. [+65, -0] How could you drag someone around with string tied to their neck? Are the producers even using their brains? Andy's in his mid-30s now, there wasn't an ounce of respect for him. I hope the Infinity Girls reflect on the episode.

5. [+56, -0] I can't believe the producers thought this was all okay to broadcast when they were editing it. Imagine of a female celebrity was being dragged around like a dog and other men were putting their hands inside her clothes, groping her butt and her private. It'd be on the front page of papers the next day.

6. [+55, -0] I feel like even with articles out, the producers won't realize how severe this is and just consider it as fangirls throwing a fit. It fills me with rage to think that they edited these clips thinking that they were funny... Could you imagine a group of male celebrities groping a female celebrity like that? They'd be sued.

7. [+49, -0] They kept putting their hands inside his clothes, forcing kisses on him... The industry would not be quiet as it is now had it been a female celebrity. As if dragging him around by string wasn't bad enough, they purposely covered his eyes and manipulated his direction so that he'd bump into things that touched his private part. Is this fun to you, producers?

8. [+41, -0] Putting their hands inside his clothes and groping him. Rubbing his lips, groping his butt. Tying him by the neck and dragging him around in the middle of the street. Is this what you call fun, producers?
