1. [+513, -35] From our neighborhood all the way to Saipan. Might as well change the show's name to Our World Fine Arts

2. [+483, -49] This is stretching it

3. [+452, -37] Are they joking... Wasn't the point of the show to raise interest in lifestyle sports? And why are they bringing back ping pong again? And what's the point of going all the way to Saipan? There are hundreds of towns that are waiting for the show to come to them...

4. [+417, -53] And this show eventually gets lost in the mountains... ㅎㅎㅎ

5. [+371, -25] They're seriously going all the way overseas to play ping pong with non-celebrities?

6. [+138, -15] Since when is Saipan our neighborhood?

Article: 'Barefoot Friends' a severe state of the show losing its identity

1. [+350, -14] Why do they deliver side dishes to celebrities who live alone??? Should give them to the elderly living alone instead

2. [+336, -13] First they went all the way overseas only to suffer... and now they're doing diving and visiting each other's houses. What the heck? This show is lost in the mountains. Doesn't match the show's title at all.

3. [+305, -14] The article hit the nail on the head~ I really don't understand the concept of this show.

4. [+21, -1] Seems like the PDs are just throwing every concept in the box and hoping something sticks

5. [+18, -0] I remember Yoo Jae Suk's answer to a question asked by an MBC variety PD. He was asked what he thought made up a good variety show and he said, "There are a lot of factors like viewer ratings and whatnot but first and foremost, the show needs to have a point and follow its initial intent. Whether or not it's loved by the viewers is something to handle after."
