It seems like Noh Ji Hoon from MBC's "Birth of a Great Star" is in some pretty hot water. Apparently, the star had already debuted in the music career back in 2009. A representative from "Birth of a Great Star" stated, "He did not join with an entertainment company, nor did he have many promotions." Unfortunately, it was discovered that Noh Ji Hoon released an album back in 2009, and signed a 3-year contract with UFO Entertainment. A message from UFO Entertainment's CEO was unearthed, which read, "Noh Ji Hoon is a kid that I am training as a singer. Please vote for him." For those of you who are wondering why this could be a big scandal, "Birth of a Great Star" is a reality show based on having contestants compete against each other to gain a chance at becoming a singer. Noh Ji Hoon made it to the Top 8, and was chosen by Bang Shi Hyuk before being eliminated last week. Bang Shi Hyuk tried to cover up for Noh Ji Hoon by stating, "There is no rule stating that people who released an album cannot compete in this program." However, netizens feel differently. They stated, "This program is for the 'ordinary' people to compete in, not people like Noh Ji Hoon, who have already had been trained", "It's unfair for a person who received professional training to compete against 'ordinary' people who did not receive any training", and "Because of Noh Ji Hoon, some other contestant was unable to compete."
