After several controversies with the public, MBC's I Am A Singer aired its fourth episode today and surprised many viewers. The show first started off with an on-screen apology that stated, "We are very sorry for worrying our viewers and because we were unable to keep our promise. We will return with a better stage by listening to your concerns and opinions."

Due to the several problems that the show had faced the past week, it has been decided that the program would be discontinued for about a month to resolve issues. A special three hour episode, lasting 165 minutes, was thus aired to not disappoint viewers. With an extended time frame, the show was able to fit the beginning of the next mission to the very end, revealing the next disqualified singer. The mission had the seven contestants perform each others hit songs, which made them much more focused on their performances. The singers were selected to perform the following songs: Yoon Do Hyun - 'Dash' (originally by Baek Ji Young) Park Jung Hyun (Lena Park) - 'First Impression' (orginally by Kim Gun Mo) Kim Bum Soo - 'Please' (originally by Lee Sora) Kim Gun Mo - 'You Are My Lady' (originally by Jung Yup) Baek Ji Young - 'Promise' (originally by Kim Bum Soo) Jung Yup - 'Will Forget' (originally by Yoon Do Hyun) Lee Sora - "My Day" (originally by Park Jung Hyun) As always, the five hundred audience members acted as the judges. The performances were mind-blowing, as many left remarks such as, "It was better than I expected," "I was so moved that I almost cried," and,�"My heart was beating rapidly." However, a contestant still had to be disqualified, which ended up being Jung Yup. Although he changed the style of Yoon Do Hyun's rock song to fit his own vocal style, it was not enough for the audience, as he ended up getting the least amount of votes. Rejecting the offer for a re-challenge, Jung Yup left the show on a bright note along with his manager, Kim Shin Young. He stated, "It is an honor to be just a part of this show with such great artists." Viewers were also moved with this broadcast and were disappointed on its suspension, as comments were left such as: "I couldn't keep track of the time." "Can't this program keep continuing? While watching, every issue and controversy that it had disappeared from my mind." "Today's performance was really something else." "Professional singers can improve as well..... very surprising." "I could tell the emotion that the singers had when they were singing." "We were impatient but MBC was even more impatient." "Although its already decided, can't Kim Young Hee PD come back?" "I can't believe this show won't be airing next week." The replacement for the producer will be Shin Jung Soo, who is also the PD for 'Come To Play'. Let's hope the variety show will return to the public in a brighter note. Source: newsen (1, 2, 3)
