1. [+734, -45] Fu*k, shouldn't it have been obvious from the start that he shouldn't be on the show? Why should viewers have to put up with a guy who bought a minor prostitute on public broadcast? Take this as an opportunity to get rid of hit and run murderers and druggies too

2. [+620, -40] He bought a prostitute who was a minor... I don't feel comfortable with him on broadcast at all.

3. [+514, -139] Good decision. They should take this chance to take Hyorin off of the show too because she doesn't match this show.

1. [+3,944, -851] They made the right decision

2. [+3,384, -454] Did they not expect this?

3. [+2,849, -554] He's a good singer but what's wrong is wrong.

Article: Lee Soo reps, "Ridiculous situation, 'I Am a Singer' made that decision without us"

1. [+431, -29] It was a ridiculous situation for him to even be considered for the show

2. [+353, -10] MBC made the right decision considering he committed a crime and should be kept off broadcast. However, MBC didn't have to cast him for the show but they chose to and brought on this controversy onto themselves (as if they didn't know this would be controversial). And for him to record his part and then decide to take him off without discussing it with him... shows that MBC doesn't know how to handle these things.

3. [+293, -21] Your face being on TV is ridiculous, you criminal

1. [+10,022, -588] I think MBC is in the wrong here regardless of Lee Soo's crime

2. [+7,770, -809] They're both at fault, Lee Soo for thinking he even deserved to be on the show and MBC for even casting him

3. [+5,623, -1,779] Criminals should just keep their mouth shut
