1. [+2,750, -108] Can we please get some proper judges on this show? Kim Hae Joon, Lee Eunji, Hyun Young, Kang Daniel, Lee Hongki, Chuu, what do these kids know at all about trot, and how good at singing it are they even? Why are they judges? What would a gagman know about trot? These contestants practiced hard to get up here just to be judged by these jokes? I can't stand this.
2. [+1,214, -49] Isn't the point of being a judge to be a master in something? To be talented enough to judge the talents of another? These people aren't even as talented as the contestants so what are they judging exactly?
3. [+1,132, -74] Lee Hongki's comments have been pretty on point, though..
4. [+712, -56] Lee Hongki's in a position to be call out someone's singing at his level... and as a singer, he's proven himself to be an expert in his field. Seems like he's gotten a lot of people riled up, though.
5. [+592, -18] Lee Hongki's the only judge doing any actual judging on the show. The others are too scared to ruffle any feathers so they just shower everyone with hearts... The judges have too much heart. The only one giving cold criticism is Lee Hongki. The show needs to round out the judge panel with a few more actual critics like him... It's no fun when everyone has a soft spot for all of the contestants.
6. [+181, -4] It seems pointless to have winners of other contestants or even actual singers to compete on the show. Wasn't the point of the show to discover fresh talents?
7. [+194, -26] Thank you Lee Hongki for your accurate and objective judgments. He's the fairest of them all ^^
8. [+146, -9] I don't think viewers are aware of the extensive experience Lee Hongki has not only on stage but in talent. Anyone in their late twenties or thirties will know very well who FT Island was. He's also a vocal trainer on other audition shows.
9. [+112, -5] Hongki has had accurate criticisms for not only Sungmin but the other contestants, too. He's right, Sungmin doesn't really have anything special about his singing when it comes to trot.
10. [+30, -1] It's true that Sungmin's singing skills were terrible, and there are too many judges on the show who have no business calling themselves a master
