A Real Man Is a Fake Man

There is show called ‘Real men’ in Korea. The show about 10 celebrities went to military service and show how they acclimate in there. They have to go each different positions in Korean military in every season. The goal is to introduce Korean military service and gives reminisce to discharged people.  Therefore, They used format in reality show. However, It seems like that a lot of Korean men sneer at this show. They think it is not ‘real’ military.

What a lame story to tell. I’m not trying to sneer at who sneered at this show. I’m just trying to explain how reality show works. Furthermore, They always have argument in a Facebook which is unnecessary. Let’s put it simple. TV show doesn’t have to be real. Even if it called ‘Real men’ or ‘Reality show’.

There is alway people who saying ‘I was in that force but that is not real. I worked twice harder.Don’t make it look easy’. It is one of most common criticism about this show. However, They know that every man should go military service in Korea. What makes them easy to say ‘Don’t make it look easy’?. We all know that is not  real. It is not a big deal that you went to same force. There is at least thousand people who were in that force and don’t say anything.

Let’s pretend that they cover a ‘real’ military. It is going to be boring. Trust me, I’ve been there. Who would watch that boring show in sunday night?. A show must make money in order to survive from broadcast station. If they covered a ‘real’ military, I don’t think they survived. They couldn’t even try pilot episode. I think.

You don’t have to believe the media. It’s not about just this show. You should know or understand that there are always some of fakeness in it. So, you to say “Oh, it’s not a real military. you must stop making this show”. It is never going to be a reason. If you think that is not real, I would ask “why not?”. Chill out. Just have fun. If you take reality show to a discussion , you have to stay all night doing pointless argument. Let’s not go there.

There is a lot of argument going on about this show. It caused from lots of discharged people. To be honest, It is hard to watch how pointless it is. Furthermore, Korean audience has tend to take the media too seriously. I just want to say one thing. Relax, have fun. That is what the media ultimately exist for. I’d rather give compliments to celebrities or casts who work hard for this fun.
