Key And Taeyeon’s “Baby” Pictures Go Viral Amid Growing Backlash
In the latest episode of Amazing Saturday, the cast—including SM Entertainment idols, SHINee‘s Key and Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon—battled for snacks over a game of “Who Are The Parents?”
The rule was simple: After being presented with two photoshopped pictures of “children” imagined between the cast and their friends, the cast was to guess the “parents.”
During one of the rounds, photoshopped pictures of babies between Key and Taeyeon were shown.
The pictures went viral as “SM Entertainment’s favorite visuals”…
Wooow. We’re basically the same person!
— Key
…but the game itself did not receive positive feedback from the viewers who watched it unfold. Previous episodes featuring this game did not sit well with the viewers who believed the photoshopping to be creepy and disrespectful to the people involved.
- “If I remember correctly, this game received criticism the last time it was played. Yet, here it is, being played again. Does the Amazing Saturday production team not care about the viewer opinion? There are tons of other games to play. Why pick the one that made a lot of people feel uncomfortable?”
- “They have a ton of other games to choose from, but they had to play this one. What’s the reason for going back to a game that didn’t sit well with the viewers?”
- “This has got to be the stupidest game on Amazing Saturday.“
- “People who think the backlash is extra… You’re all so stupid, it’s a shame. I wish Amazing Saturday production team would listen to the viewers and use the feedback that’s being given to them.”
- “It’s not like there aren’t other games to play. It makes me wonder why they chose to bring this back again.”
