as others have mentioned, i suspect the interview questions were given to the guests beforehand. however, if the guest responses were written by a team of writers / producers, then it would give rise to suspicions those guests are not even half as witty, clever, insightful or articulate.

The questions/themes are definitely given in advance, since on other idol shows you can often see them memorising and elaborating stories for a laugh or rehearsing a special dance or what-not.
I always feel inadequate posting in this thread, because I never have any suitable gifs on hand to continue the theme.

questions and themes would be understandable since pre-interviews are common (but not universal) for television talk programs. what i'm curious to know is whether the entirety of guest responses are written by a team of writers / producers. and, if so, who are the writers and whether the content has to be pre-screened by the entertainment companies or talent agencies.
This girl claimed that exactly everything was scripted. She is touring Europe right now, so i will meet her next week, then i will ask her more detailed about it.
Simplified, she is that person outside the actual business who knows someone in the business who gossips for her. Of course, things tend to get exaggerated, its very possibly, she heard that everything is scripted as in "Questions already made up, everybody knows what to say". That does not mean that everything, EVERYTHING is scripted.
So basically, when i then asked "So exactly everything is scripted?" she said yes but i mean, to actually script exactly everything would be near impossibly unless it looked like this at the stage
However, the idols are professionals and it would not be that hard to remember a few funny lines. After all, in some shows, there can be 20 idols, waiting for their 3 minutes in the spot-light. To then, know you will receive 3 questions and you will have 3 answers to remember, is not exactly hard. Then again, not all shows are made up that way and in every show, there are certain idols who are always more loud and talkative. That would of course, be the idols who are naturally funny and who thrive in these environments. If you have nothing funny to say and if you are bad at coming up with jokes like that, you are probably the quiet type not giving much attention in the show.
There are people who believe exactly everything is scripted in for example Mnet Scandal. That the girls and boys the idols date are actors and that everything they do is scripted, i honestly do not believe so, since i know that netizens have afterwards stalked and bullied the fans online etc. However, there seem to be a certain type of people in korea, who are more into western culture and who despises k-pop and when you bring it up, they are sighing and are like "They are all fake, they have plastic surgery, everything is scripted, bla bla bla"

It's simply not possible for it to be scripted, for practical reasons, and it's also very obvious it isn't: Some idols are great at variety and talk shows, other aren't and fumble desperately for words the few seconds they get of screentime. So either she was wrong, or meant some specific shows and elements like sketches or whatnot.

in which case, i'm just wondering who are the writers because it's apparent a number of them are quite clever.
this is one thing that i find so peculiar about the culture of South Korean celebrities and their relationships (good or bad) with the public. i will never understand the measure that some people take to voice their approval or disapproval of what celebrities do, say or with whom they are seen together. those fans sure live up to their namesake: fanatics.

I think most people forget that idols don't have time to learn a script, or even time for prep work. The Agents handle everything before and after the show/interview/concert is recorded, and its these people that allow certain things or taboo others. Idol's get driven to the location, they have a few hours before to settle in+makeup, the show is recorded, then they get some rest and move onto the next item on their itinerary.

In Korea, more so in Seoul, Plastic surgery is like education. If you have the money, you pay for it to be done. There really isnt the negative connotation that there is in the greater world.
I do not think everything is scripted. She heard from an insider this and that, how everything is scripted etc. Everything is scripted but not exactly everything is scripted. I would not be surprised to find though that the interviews in WGM are scripted for instance. Most stuff in k-pop however is well planned. We all know that Laguna Beach is scripted 100 %. For us who speaks english, its kinda easy to see how fake that show is and especially if your a native speaker (i am not), imagine then if a korean watched Laguna Beach i am sure the only thing that would make them suspicious is the fact that the cameras are always located very convenient (We follow person A in a car, person A then calls person B spontaneously and all of sudden there is a camera team with person B when he answers; LOL).
I guess, they are part of the hidden k-pop profiles.
Fascinating is the mythical die hard netizens who are supposed to know everything about the idols. During the Jay Park scandal, some of these netizens published their findings. However, its hard to verify wether or not this true or if its antizens. The stuff they had "found out" made the whole 2PM beside like Nickhun (who according to them smoked) to look like completely douche bags.

Writers for both variety shows like Running Man (which treads the line between improvised theater and game show) and talk shows are always sat underneath the cameras - you see them in most episodes. There's a peculiar (perhaps not that surprising) culture in Korean TV where the vast majority of writers / scriptwriters in both variety and dramas are female, while the directors are male. So most of these writers are women.
The shows are scripted in the sense that yes, the questions and answers are thought up ahead of time. However I don't think that literally the entire show is scripted, which should be very obvious while watching a show like Running Man or something. There is just too much improvisation in it. But often, the MC will ask something like "so I heard you went to this place and this happened?" and the idol will have the story ready and they will talk about it and the MC will make some jokes etc etc. No different from American talk shows.

Haha, yeah, Yoona and Yuri kind of blended into one for me as well. As did Taeyeon and Jessica and Tiffany, mainly cause I thought those three were attractive at first glance, but then couldn't remember any of their faces, so whenever I saw an attractive one I couldn't remember which one I was seeing. The only one I knew for a fact was a different person was Hyo cause I didn't understand how she made the cut, lol.
Now that I can actually ID them though, it's all about:
YoonA is my bias so I'm even more ashamedAlta1r said:
The flat appearance around her jawline (or where one should be) just looks off to me. I could be wrong.

Yeah that does look kind of goofy. I think they airbrushed it a little bit too much around the jawline, to the point that it almost looks like her neck just keeps going into her face, lol.
What a way to go. Hopefully not a perma.
Hmm, its probably an optical illusion. Why would someone photoshop that? Jaw lines can be sexy, lol.
Also I haven't really been following Rainbow before, but the constant spamming of Jisook and others in here made me go check them out. Sweet Dream is now stuck in my head...
