In the early 2000s, there were a lot of celebrity dating shows such as 'We Got Married.' The show 'We Got Married' caused a stir because two celebrities spent time together as pretend husband and wife. However, there is another show that caused much more of a stir, and it was the Mnet show 'SCANDAL.'
Mnet's 'SCANDAL' was a reality program where ordinary women would date a male celebrity.
According to one netizen in an online community, netizens would dig through the web for information on the ordinary women who were cast for the show and would often share their personal information online. Additionally, fans would say their favorite idols should just appear on 'We Got Married,' rather than on this show. The netizen who created the post added, "This created a stir back then and now thinking about idols today doing that..."
Netizens commented, "I feel like the ordinary people who appear on that show now would really be in danger," "That's a crazy nostalgic show," "I feel like the women who appear on this show - if it were to air today - then they would be turned to dust because of their fans," "It would be so crazy if this show airs today," "This show would be unimaginable if it was today. The ordinary people who appear on the show would really need to risk their life," and, "I think the show was scripted but still would be crazy today."
It's impossible to imagine this kind of show now.
