Seems like there's a boiling argument regarding how viewers try to guess the identity of 'Mask Singer' performers.
In the latest episode where Twice's Jihyo appeared, netizens are in rage towards the prejudices concerning the comments relating to 'Little Ghost' and Baby Goblin's body figures.
On 'Mask Singer' bulletin boards, comments such as "She looks like a mother," "He has a nice shoulder line, that can't be an idol" are posted and receive criticisms. The issue is that the panel seems to assess the performers based on their body figure more than their vocal skills.
Netizens demand feedback and apology for offensive comments especially when Jihyo is revealed to be the singer behind the 'Little Ghost' mask. They comment, "Why are you basing your vote from their body figures?","You only need to judge their vocals why mention how they look?" "This program is supposed to drop prejudices and only assess performers through their voice but I guess I have to think about it again." and more. In response to this, 'Mask Singer' PD No Si-Yong clarifies,
"This program's format is to cover the face with a mask, viewers have to guess only from their voice but it happened that they also evaluate the identity through their appearance. This kind of assessment must have been uncomfortable to some viewers, so we'll keep this in mind. The staff will be more careful in the future so this won't happen again."
