TV: How much of 'Laws of the Jungle' is real?


Article: Park Bo Young's CEO "I was highly emotional and exaggerated my words" (Interview)

Source: Starin via Nate [allkpop]

1. [+552, -86] Because of the CEO idiot, everyone's going to be watching 'Jungle' like how they watch 'WGM'. "Yes, alligator #1, you did a good job. Can we have the next native enter the scene."

2. [+473, -62] Either way, this controversy basically exposes that some parts of 'Jungle' aren't what they seem on camera;;;

3. [+495, -143] This has to make a bad impact on Park Bo Young's image.. All because she met the wrong CEO.

4. [+156, -15] They have to be dating or he has to have a crush on her... He obviously knows how the entertainment industry works so it's ridiculous to me that he could go off like that without knowing the repurcussions

5. [+143, -14] He went overboard even though I can see why he was worried for his own celebrity;;; Especially for a CEO to act in this manner;; Does he have special feelings for Park Bo Young? It's like an obsession

Article: [Exclusive] Park Bo Young CEO disses 'Laws of the Jungle'... "Real documentary? More like drinking beer all night in a hotel"

1. [+1,578, -44] Hul, doesn't he know that dissing the show his star is currently in basically means that she'll never be able to contract with SBS again?

2. [+1,257, -76] I don't doubt that he's lying, it's just upsetting because I loved the show. They basically played the viewers, although I doubt that any 'documentary' variety show can really be 100% real. And how is this any way for a CEO to act? All of this will impact Park Bo Young's career.

3. [+1,137, -38] I never really believed it from the start... Kids that starved all day were running around like no problem. Makes no sense.

4. [+887, -24] Doesn't this basically mean the show is over ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+688, -58] The CEO is nuts, is he on drugs? ㅋㅋㅋ Looks like we won't be seeing Park Bo Young and her labelmates on SBS from now on ㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+583, -20] Thinking logically, how could they film anything if they really went by what we saw on the screen... They probably filmed enough footage and used the rest of the time to feed and house them. The CEO either has beef with the PD or the way they treated Park Bo Young.

7. [+414, -48] I think he's referencing to the other staff members staying in hotels and drinking while the other actors are out filming... I remember there being a large amount of staff that switch off going out in the fields in teams because it's such a difficult filming. The CEO would obviously stay behind at the hotel with the staff, not out with the stars..

1. [+195, -23] Despite how much he acts like he cares for her, he should know that this is only making it harder for Park Bo Young...

2. [+181, -30] All of the efforts and suffering put in by Kim Byung Man, Ricky Kim, No Woojin and more have turned into nothing because of him... And what about all the staff who suffered in the back with them silently? Find strength, this show is a great way for viewers to see and experience new things. Jun Hye Bin and Solmi really worked hard so that they didn't stand in the way of others.

3. [+204, -61] What is he complaining about? Kim Byung Man continued filming despite being swollen from ant bites. All because his girlfriend came home late because she was filming for the show and missed a few decent meals, he goes and takes a piss on his SNS? Why did he even sign the contract if he's so paranoid about her? He wants the money but he doesn't want to put his girlfriend through hard work?

4. [+87, -16] I knew it was fake. The timing was all too staged. Accidents are always happening and animals that were never even there suddenly start appearing ㅋㅋ

5. [+90, -20] I remember when they caught five tiny fish but suddenly every person had a huge fish for their own ㅡㅡ

Article: Kim Byung Man's reps "The cast stays in comfortable lodging during relocation... The lies are a misunderstanding"

1. [+164, -23] Either way, it feels like something Kim Byung Man worked so hard to pull up has just been kicked away. If he wanted to reveal the truth, he should've found another way or just pull Park Bo Young out of the show if he was so worried for her./

2. [+125, -15] They already showed us that they dorm during relocation. There was also that scene where they bought watermelon and other food at a supermarket. Why can't they do that during relocation? How can viewers expect them to suffer all month long?

3. [+126, -20] We already saw on TV that they stay in hotels and whatnot while relocating

4. [+108, -14] The CEO has to be crazy to be smearing poop all over one of SBS's most popular programs. Will Park Bo Young even be able to come on SBS shows anymore?

5. [+112, -19] The show's obviously not 100% real but the CEO also seems to be exaggerating parts of his claims

6. [+80, -8] How could anyone expect them to last all month long eating only a few pieces of larva and some meat. Wouldn't it be obvious that they're allowed to rest comfortable while relocating between filmings? Looks like we won't be seeing Park Bo Young on SBS anymore
