If ISAC was ran as an ‘all-star’ type event or had it more laid back with more emphasis on idol interactions and the fun they have, it would be so much better.
Agreed
exactly that should be the entire point is to see idols interact 💀
ooh.. yesss 😲
i wanna see idols betting on each other in a fun way before events, see them interviewing each other, could also be cool if they randomly split idols into teams using something automated and we got to see them working together and vlogging!
right!
I’m surprised that companies let injuries slide without seeking monetary compensation from ISAAC or simply stop and create a different event
Maybe it's stated in the contract that isac is not responsible for the idols' injuries since these idols "chose" to participate 🤔 also not to forget that mbc might use power-tripping if companies asked for compensations or smth
I mean most events aren’t gonna be responsible since u signed up for it and know the risks
Why the hell would someone pay you? Yes they are idols, but they are not something untouchable. They signed for the event they are responsible for what happens to them, just like in every sport competition
And then we have YG , never sending none of their artists for ISAC (except that one time when ikon participated)
if you're an idol competing on running at Isaac and don't wanna be injured, just walk slowly. and claim that last place lol. no one forces you to run, or even injure yourself.
everyone only run bc they wanna win. not bc they are forced to.
On one hand, i think it's good for idols to have an event where they can interact and gain recognition, but at the same time, i do think that more precautions should be taken. Also, why such long hours instead of cutting it into more days? I'm sure that filming for such a long time can increase injuries and harm their performance
Good point :(
I think it will also be more profitable if they split it in to days
that's true, but most groups are busy... for the least scheduling conflicts (aka to get in as many groups as possible), it's best to have it on one day bc then all the groups can just clear up one day for the filming, instead of having to go in and out of their other schedules + isac
@@cknight0 its always like that ffs, money first before humanity🤦🏻♀️
@@jiaverse that makes a lot of sense and i hadn't thought of that! But i can't help but feel like they should find a way around this, and if it's not possible, maybe it's better to not have isac at all, which would be a shame tbh...
I dont know if its only me but I feel each year ISAC is getting more serious. I used to have a love-hate relationship with ISAC because its extremely dangerous but at the same time it used to give us so many fun moments like legendary kenjindeul water bottle race, btob archery costumes or sehun mistakenly talking to jeonghan but last few years such things are nowhere to see. Idols are focused on sports only and its hard to see any fun anymore. I wish there were groups only joining to have fun so they can warm the atmosphere
I love your name lol
In the last ISAC there were some cute interactions as well, you just have to look for it
@@Lv-sg4zp can you tell me between who or is there a video? I would love to see what I missed 😊
I stopped watching the real show after a few years and just look up the hashtag on sns...simply because that way you can find the cute and funny interactions - mostly filmed by fans attending, because they were rarely shown in the show anyways...I just watch the archery segment nowadays haha
personally i think it’s getting less serious, there aren’t as much events as there was in the past and they adding gaming which idols seem to love
What made Moonbyul's fall even worse was that she had hit her old injury spots on her knee and chin(she was involved in a bus accident in the past). Girls from another group who stood close to Mamamoo revealed that after playing it off on-cam, Moonbyul went to the bathroom and cried because it hurt so much. It's sad to know how badly idols have hurt themselves in the competitions, they don't deserve to suffer so much for something that isn't even their main job in the first place😔
Truth. 💯 This actually ticks me off.
Poor thing, I would be tramatized if that happened again
not to mention that because of all those injuries, she was injected with steroids to help with the pain and ended up getting an actual overdose.
she tripped it was no one fault. she wanted to win and is competitive. she could have taken it easy but she gunned it and tripped herself. i remember that too, no other girl in her group trip and fell.
moonbyul also could have opted out.
@@willt3223 Have you not watched the video? She clearly slipped because the track was slippery. The other girls in Moonbyul's group were lucky to not fall, because other people have slipped and fallen in those tracks. And I never mentioned it being anyone's fault in my comment in the first place. I simply wrote about Moonbyul's condition
I'm glad you mentioned the slippery track because since I saw I.N. from stray kids fall during a race, I've always thought about how weird it is they don't just use a stadium with an actual track in it for such a high profile event. Idols from huge kpop groups have participated in these events, & the Korean public have repeatedly expressed that idols must be protected & treated with the utmost respect, so seeing just how many idols slipping & falling on it because there is no traction, I don't understand why they wouldn't change it.
Agreed like that’s kinda dumb
if only they did it like supernova games, the chinese version of isac with more professional set and budget
chaewon from izone also slipped and it looks hurt like hell
Probably since despite it being such a huge event many companies like to limit the budget or spend the least amount of money possible. It's easier to buy a track like they did & reuse it as much as possible compared to renting a stadium with a track already in it. Not to mention the track will most likely be larger than what they would prefer. There's many reasons why they might not do something honestly.
@@zeroseblooms that makes sense but if they're gonna go a cheaper route for budget reasons, they should make it more based on relaxing, having fun & idols interacting with each other instead of a legitimate athletic competition where idols can get hurt on these less than legitimate sets
If I'm not mistaken, the aftermath of Jeonghan's injury during that match, S.Coups went up to the referee and scolded the referee for not stopping the match when Jeonghan got injured since the floor was slippery (I believe) causes S.Coups to get ban from joining.
I'm not sure if I remembered the event correctly but I really don't think joining ISAC is worth it if they don't care about safety issues.
It's dumb to get banned for being a good leader like S.Coups was just being a good leader to prevent Jeonghan to get worse injuries
@@Danna-ek5hq For real. I guess they just simply don't care :/
@@otterlymuse4911 I wish idols would care more about their health than pleasing fans cuz who will be there to communicate with fans if they didn't mind about their health
Yeah S.Coups is banned so no more seventeen at ISAC. It sucks that the companies aren't standing up for their idols in these dangerous situations and it's even suckier that the idols have to take it into their own hands.
@@jennacage... Except S.Coups was in ISAC 2020, but as part of the support team so I guess things have changed a bit since he was banned.
Imagine falling so hard that you shred part of your shoulder wtf
I would make sure I get fired from that job. Its pretty dangerous to continue such activities when part of your skeleton shattered
@@Danna-ek5hq it was mostly his cartilage right? which is even worse because at least bones can heal right but his cartilage is just fucked
K-POP Idols: *broken arm* Please help me I have immense pain & permanent nerve damage
INDUSTRY MANAGERS: walk it off
no bc that shit makes me r a g e
Isac used to be fun and cute, but with time, it became an ocassion for rookies to make themselves known and the companies pushed the idols into the competition, hoping that they win and get screentime and recognition !
I don't understand why companies would even risk their idols becoming injured.
Because they see them as money making objects not as individuals that they are responsible for
exposure
I mean thats Every company, Even companies outside of kpop. Cuz they priority is money, Not workers and their workers are often replacable. So money over everything.
@@claireshi7384 capitalism at its finest, in a nutshell (i presume)
@@holyyeet7538 yup
I’ll never forget when S.Coups was ‘kicked out’ of ISAC after arguing with a ref after Jeonghan got hurt
true i love him for that
I remember an ex idol making a video about the ISACs. She said that it was one of the hardest times because it was very exhausting. She also said that many idols dislike going there because of that.
Why don’t they just throw the event? Do they even win anything?
@@ggbrother8015 They do. It's great for unkown groups. If they win they can ask for one thing for example getting a stage on their programs and so on.
Also it's a good promotion because a LOT of fans are watching this. They can gain more fans/ new fans.
@@GrizzlyNextDoordo you know any examples of unknown groups who have won and gotten this advantage and went on to become known/famous?
@@ggbrother8015 Holics - Funky Dunky. They won the race I think and wished for a stage for their song Funky Dunky after the promotions were already over
@@ggbrother8015 if an unknow group beat the mecca group that is twice then they would instantly gain recognition and exposures. for unknown groups that is huge. keep in kind there are over a hundred group every year but how many people do you really see on tv and pay attention to?
12:19 i remembered back in 2019, holics participated in isac. even though yeonjung won first place in the 60m race, she didn't even get any screen time or at least an interview like other winners
Yes I remember that! I tried searching for her interviews and close ups but... None
At least they could perform the song but I remember this.. Got so mad at that time...
I'm genuinely curious: why does these programs have so many safety hazards and get away scot free when someone gets hurt?? This goes for broadcasts with dangerously slippery stages and unstable platform too. It boggles my mind how no company sue when their idols get seriously injured.
I wonder if it’s a combination of factors - I have a few theories. OH&S laws not being comprehensive enough, Korea being a (comparatively) less litigious society, and companies not wanting to sue and risk future groups not being invited to the event and possibly earning a reputation of stirring up trouble. All of which is totally unacceptable, but also entirely possible :(
Its literally a sport event, if someone injures themselves, no other person than the certain idol takes responsibility for themselves.
You'd think for an Olympic Esque athletic competition they would have more precautions and on-sight medical care but it is disappointing that this didn't start to (at least) improve until recently and it's sad that the staff and referees that are hired for these events choose to act unprofessionally with the idols. I'm kind of glad groups have chosen not to participate as much/at all anymore since it just puts them in harm's way ESPECIALLY if they attend during their promotional periods.
@@peachcherryblossom_8264 exactly. I originally thought this was meant to be a fun event and for idols and fans to have, but...
I just hope that they continue to improve and make it a much safer environment if they keep inviting idols to participate
@@maddyrevenge mh, that was one of my theories too and I can see it being swept away for minor injuries and incidents, but there have been some major injuries that had happened that led to idols going to the hospital. I just feel like someone needs to draw the line and actually protect idols.
You'd think they would since the programs depend on the performances. Surely, it would be better for them to have amazing performances and not idols slipping or falling in the middle of performing.
This is why to me ikon's one and only appearance at isac is legendary. They just came to have fun and gave everyone plenty of entertainment, which is what this should be all about anyway since they're entertainers, not pro athletes.
Idols shouldn't be made to do the events so seriously to the point that they would risk their life and limb for a measly trophy
I’m a huge fan of athletics so naturally I quite love this event. It’s a shame that it’s kind of messed up in certain cases, but then again what show isn’t messed up in k-pop? :/
Running man and Knowing Bros......?
@@FOREVER-yr7nc both have a few controversies which you can find online
@@kai-mf2gg comparatively......okay right?
@@FOREVER-yr7nc there's no comparison. they're all run under the same shitty broadcast companies.
@@YinYang333 i mean.... that doesn't matter... these 2 programs are relatively lesser dangerous and also, have wayy better hosts
I think that the esports should continue! Also, i feel like an elimination COOKING SHOW would be fantastic, just like on food network. If they want to continue with sports, I think that only with a very low risk for injury should be allowed, such as bowling or archery. Another idea could be a girl scout/boy scout competition. When I was a girl scout we competed in shelter building, outdoor cooking, fire building, and more things like that which would also be very fun to watch.
i remember thinking that idols don’t get paid enough for this shit. imagine thinking you’re just gonna be a singer and preform but then your company throws you into the idol hunger games
i think very few people actually care about seeing idols compete on sports, what's really interesting is having an event where you can see a lot of idols in the same place and possible seeing them interact. A much better idea would be a show where they send 2 or 3 groups (from different companies) on a 4-day getaway where they have to cook and do chores, maybe also compose a song ? Or how about a show where they make members from different groups live a "normal" life for a few days (say like, going to college or work at a restaurant together ) it would be much more enjoyable
Oooh that would be a great idea ✨ We already see the serious side of them in their work field, so it would be nice to see something different and a more carefree side of them.
Before the ISACs there was the Idol Dance Battle, you had a bunch of idols in the same room, divided in two teams, each group performed a choreography against another one, and let the public decide the winner, no injuries, cool vibes and idols together, I don't understand why they ended getting rid of it, when it was a safer space for them.
@@NanaTargaryen that also sounds really cool ! and it would also be a great opportunity for less-known groups to showcase their talents, but i guess the people who produce these shows only care to see drama and hardships
One of the most messed up things I've seen in ISAC was that staff who pulled Chuu's hair... From privacy to safety to allegedly personal issues from that staff? That's way too creepy and scary.
Props to companies who do not send idols to this for few minutes for screen time.
i think that sport for health/fun and competitive sport are two completly different things and competitve sport should be left for professionals only, because it is naturally really high risk. even if idols had some prior training in some diciplines, they're still rusty, and for the most part they barely get proper training, so injuries are inevitable. professional atheletes can afford to get injuried - idols can't, it's not their main job, the have to be in best condition to be able to do their job. so i think this whole thing is just a really bad idea.
well the thing is - it isn't, football isn't hi risk, running isn't hi risk, and those were where there were the most injuries, and a majority of the time you only get injured if you fuck up badly, so just don't fuck up badly or take things slowly if you don't want to take the risk of getting hurt
@@herozero8809 it isn't if you're properly trained, which takes time. idols don't have that time.
@@daymightbe you don't see 6 year old school children often getting hurt playing football or running stop being over dramatic about sports
@@herozero8809 bestie i'm not the one who's dramatic, if you wanna troll please go troll somewhere else
@@daymightbe im not trolling, legitimately running and playing football are not high risk, hockey ice hockey rugby ice scating toboggan bobsleigh ect are all high risk not running and football
I feel like honestly they should just do chill games like arrow, bowling, video games, maybe create other chill games that don’t really have injury’s like some idk dance Dance video games where you are competing for the top score that could be fun especially if each round the level goes up!! And if they don’t then they shouldn’t really do this as all the safety concerns are a real problem!!
That track is notorious - I've lost count of how many runners have tripped or wiped out trying to get around those sharp curves. I'm surprised they haven't fixed it after all these years to make it less dangerous. :(
I hate how they keep trying to tell us they're okay when they're not. I knew woohyuns injury was bad when he was in bandages for so long but we only know the severity of it wayyyy too late
This event should be more laid back. Focus on fun sports like dodgeball, capture the flag and tag, sports where the idols can have fun and chase each other around and don't need to train beforehand. It would be fun for the idols to let loose and I'm sure way more fans would watch it to see their faves have fun and being silly.
They could have even funnier competitions have a group of idols try to cook a fancy dish without a recipe. Quizzes about popular korean media etc
Although this covers the bad side of Isaac, I feel so bad for the groups that debuted in 2020 and 2021 and haven’t been able to attend it and hope they can soon ❤️
weird take lmao
@@cortaditas frr, after it talks about how harmful this event is for idols, they continue to say they wish their favs were able to partake? feels kinda selfish imo..
@@MeggieHuang in korea you can’t be too much of a pussy. they are under north korean guns at all time and anticipation of a north korean invasion. korean therefore like to see their people have fighting spirit and guts instead of pussing out the moment things get hard.
it why groups fight through injury or risk it, and their fans love them more for it.
in say america for example if something is dangerous to the stars the star could opt out andcsay “it felt like it was dangerous for me.”
and people would understand that maybe it was dangerous for said star even if they personally didn’t think it was a big deal.
koreans however all participate in all of those events in one way or another and to see an idol group puss out over something they themselves don’t find hard makes that group look bad.
see bts and joining the mandatory military service conversation.
Tbh, I don't feel like they are missing out that much. Their job is not professional sports and if they injure themselves it's not really good for them.
@@dhaliablack2804 yeah but for some it’s their only chance to interact with other idols pretty much
woohyun-ah 😭😭😭 i still remember he went missing during the promotion. other member had to cover during his part. a while later, woolim released a dance practise video for last romeo. in that video, woohyun can't really move his shoulder normally. i didn't know he got the injury from isac. and the possibility for him to have a permanent injury is too sad for me. he doesn't deserve any of this 😭😭😭😭
if only they really give the idols time to practise inbetween their idol schedule and a safer sports venue, things like this wouldn't happen 😢
He should sue tbh cause those long term effects sound like no joke
I still remember when scoups got mad/ argued with one of the staff/ referee because jeonghan slipped and didn’t do anything about it. They said he got banned from isac bc of it 🤷🏻♀️
another thing to add about Jeonghan's injury, the Seventeen leader S.Coups went to the referee(?) after the race and if I remember they had an argument because Jeonghan obviously got injured. He got banned after that
Ya, I remember back in the day. Bora was injured a lot because she was good at sport and pretty much win all rounds that was why they entered her in so many. The idols don't get enough rest then they have to use lots of energy for this competition too and of course they have to perform well for the comp.
Thank you for your video essay on this topic. I am an older Kpop fan, since 2006, and I have seen the rise and fall of ISAC. I am proud to actively boycot this event, but at the same time, actively support the dog agility championships! You have made your points very clear and I truly appreciate it. Thanks again!
Injuries happen all the time in sport. Idols, their companies and MBC are aware of the risks and each should take appropriate measures to minimize such risk. As for dating, so what? Idols are human too.
I loved watching ISAC, mainly to see my favs and other idols interact since we don't see that much outside of these types of event, I watches mainly for the rymthic gymnastics and track.
4:37 it may sound like a stretch but i blame isac for tao’s departure from exo. Or at least they were part of the reason.
The reason Tao left EXO was due to mistreatment and health issues on his back and legs. If you knew about Tao, he was known for being good at martial arts, so Sm always had him doing all kind of stunts for the groups publicity. The injury he got at ISAC was the first of so many more to come, and since SM never let him rest and heal properly; they damage kept building up for almost 2 years.
It got to the point where he literally broke the ligaments of his foot, had a back problem and ultimately had to use a wheelchair and crutches; all while he was still forced to dance for the Call me baby MV and participate in the group activities.
Tao has speak about all this, years after leaving the group. He explained that he wanted to stay in the group, that he endured a lot of the pain because he liked the members and wanted to be part of exo. If you remember at the time, Tao repeatedly assured his fans that he would never leave exo. At the end, it was Tao’s dad that had to pull the moves and literally had to force Tao to leave the group. His dad explained in a letter, that it hurt him to see his only son being in so much pain and with severe injuries at his young age. At the end Tao left exo, got treatment for his injuries, healed properly and started his solo career in China.
At his fan, i was extremely sad for his departure but i quickly felt relieved to see him actually taking care of himself. In later interviews, Tao has shown the scars that all these injuries left on his body and how he could’ve have lost mobility of his leg if he hadn’t left sm.
I somehow blame ISAC because it was this injury that was the “beginning of the end”. Like a butterfly effect.
I think isac is a good idea but it has to change a few things like idols have to stay there for hours that can explain why so many of them get hurt (the exhaustion). They could do it in two separate days or something, they are already making idols go so might as well use two days, that way they can rest (and also the fans). And also sports that can hurt idols easily should not be done.
I’ve always thought how slippery the floor looked...
oh boy, I've heard about this olympic set but never about the bad things that happened there.
Can you make a video about wild idol? It’s a survival show that takes place out in the wilderness, the contestants even sleep outside in tents. They usually go through a mix of stamina/strength missions and talent missions.
Could you please do a little investigation into the fallout between Mnet and Starship? People say it started this year with Monsta X rejecting Kingdom but I think it started even earlier with how little screen time they were given at 2020 MAMA. Then this whole year all Starship artists have been banned from promoting on MCCountdown, Studio Choom and other Mnet shows.
And starship disagreeing to renew iz*one's contract too
Okay I’m not quite sure but I think this started way before that …. Mainly with no mercy which was the reason why mx rejected kingdom …. The members have all stated how horrible it was and the mistreatment especially of Changkyun …. they swore to never do another survival show again and I think that’s where tension started.
I always thought ISAC was kinda weird. Like they're not athletes, they're musicians who talent is dance/vocals/instruments. They should do an ISAC but with those talents where certain members showcase a skill they don't usually show the public within their idol persona
Thats boring asf, let them play sport who cares
@@chrips154 yes. Who cares if they get hurt and ruin their careers, it’s just for entertainment anyway 🙄
That's boring asf just because they are idols doesn't mean they shouldn't play sports
@@crisdl2509 exactly
@@crisdl2509 no they shouldn’t not play sports cause they’re idols but they shouldn’t do it because the overseers don’t care about them getting injured nor do they or the companies care that the idols still have packed schedules to finish that they won’t push back or cancel if the idols gets hurt , which has happened plenty of times before
In 2nd gen isac it was more fun, for idols, general audience and us kpop stans
agree! Because - yeah ofc fanwars existed - but the companies themself weren't so strict with male-female interactions. nowadays if a male idol and a female idol have the smallest interaction it get's so blown up....back then you saw them talking and having fun just like normal human beings and fans were also super chill....like I remember (and miss) BigBang and 2NE1s friendship...everyone loved seeing them interact....but today? Fans would start fanwars because of the smallest thing...
In slippery paper like race track is one of the worst. In regular racetrack itself there is a high chance of falling. Yes they can interact with each other but this is not the cost. The program is with average of 17% rating one of rating that many variety show didn't get. So they can spend money renovating the tracks into less slippery ones
I don’t think they can prevent every single injury bc there is gonna be some unexpected things but they could definitely put way more effort to try and prevent things such as training staff and making their sets way more safer than they are
the way i click on this video when i saw the title
That's why i stopped watching this two-three years ago. I was anticipaiting ISACs every year from 2011, when I was totally obsessed with kpop and loved watching idols like that, because there wasn't many occasion like this for international fans , there was no SM back then, and the interactions were gold. But season after season, thinking about idols full packed schedule , when sometimes they don't even get time to sleep, and adding sport training to this, made me sick. I already feel for all the nugus who are training and making apperances 24/7 AND have to train and attend ISAC , and I just immediately stopped watching this. Every company thinks about it as an exposure and nothing else matters for them ;/ That's why we hardly ever got to see top stars there :|
Just to put it out there, Woohyun was filming a drama at the same time the promotions for "Last Romeo" were held and unfortunately he was in a car accident while driving to the filming location and for that reason he was absent in a few performances or did not move his shoulder at all while performing. That was what caused his shoulder to be extremely injured.
heard that’s where idols hook up at but I never knew there is a disturbing side of it.
Wait what?
@@ceniceroo i mean, easier to hook up with other idols where everybodys gathered at one place instead of trying to meet up
good for them. lmao
@@harayaalirak4040 really 😂 still weird lmao 😂
"hook up?" you made it sound like theyre fcking there like 😭
I love u midnight theories . u always give the best content
They can also just replace the high-risk sports into fun games instead and it'll be so much better
honestly, what's the point of risking your idols to get injured when their body is their work tool and can undermine their career?
I have never seen an ISAC before and I've been a k-pop fan for over ten years. I remember when they started doing it and thought it was the stupidest thing they could come up with. I just wanna see my people sing and dance. Why would I wanna see them do sports? who cares? Seeing them do what they love is most important!
Well said, good job! It's important to raise awarness about the whole thing. Thank you!
Ouch! If I were a manager, I would t let my idol do this event. No publicity is worth potentially losing the rest of their career!
I'm fan of MONSTA X, but I didn't know about how they left the ISAC. That's what makes them more SAVAGE 😁
I love seeing the interactions but for the sake of the idols, I’d love if there was an alternative to ISAC. Something with less possible injuries. Not sure what it could be though.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS❤💕💕
I reached the point of clicking like before the video even starts. You are such a good channel, good luckl
Both ISAC and the Companies who let these Idols participate in the intense Sports Events whenever the Idols get seriously Injured the Companies haven't properly taken care of the Idols injuries and their Health should be more important then carrying on with the activities
Why would they put something to make it more slippery?!
thank you so much for this video
As an inspirit I'm so sad to see woohyun having to deal with this injury for a long term he's so precious and really doesn't deserve any of this💔💔💔
Oh man I didn't know some of the injuries were that serious. If only they provided a proper field and equipment plus the medic, it could've been a very fun show and a decent experience for the idols to participate
Your script is extremely well written, and your voice is super clear. Well done.
ayyyyyyy. i like the intro. keep it up 👍
I'm an inspirit and during the time immediately after woohyun injured his arm you could tell it was serious.
I blame mbc and isac for the event happening but woollim is to blame for it being so serious. idols back them hardly ever got time to recover from injuries and woollim selfishly insisted that he continue his schedules in store of it all.
Hello Midnight! I am a more casual kpop fan but have always been curious about these kpop all star events so I'm definitely looking forward to this video!
My blood went all the up to my head when I saw the MBC staff pulling chuu's hair I mean where is his manners? First of all he is a guy, second Chuu is talking with her members he doesn't have a right to do that. That is so rude and disrespectful I hope he lose his job and hair.
Amazing video! I'd like to add that another main issue with this event is the toxicity between fandoms when it comes to idols interactings with each other
I think that MBC (if they want to) should bring back the ISACs in the form of the E-Sports Championships; that they did a year ago and make it a regular thing as long as COVID is still a thing at least.
Despite the injuries, it looks like the idols are having fun and they get to interact with other idols. They don't get to do that often due to rule changes. They also get more recognition, for other skills other than singing and dancing. They also get to make more friends and possibly date someone(this should be normalized), or interact with someone they are dating(also should be normalized). How the staff treats the idols needs to change and the track they use for relay races should also change. They're physical health is very important. Also I think they should have a better layout of the games they're playing rather than having them film for 20 hours. I also think ALL members on the team should be able to participate in at least one event. They also should switch it up and mix the teams together, but i doubt that'll happen.
woohyun’s long term injuries are really serious I feel so bad 😭
Just because of the cute interactions idols make with this event, it has no reason to be still continued. Imagine the amount of injuries idols have made, that werent shown on camera. The shoulder incident was already enough to end an career!
I play sports and have done that all my life, one of the most important things i have learnt is how to avoid injuries and if you cant avoid them, then atleast how to make them a minor issue. And that training will take you years to perfect, and since idols usually are not trained for these types of injuries i think ISAC is not clearly not doing it right.
As to all the soccer injuries i think they have a too small field basically made for injuries if not carefull, and soccer is, belivie it or not, a really dangerous sport even if the field is large, like the one i play on injuries happen ALOT.
I remember watching this show and loving it due to the idols interaction with each other. It showed actual human connection, care and emotions. I do whole heartily believe that MBC, ISAC and possibly even the companies are responsible for injury as the idols ARE WORKING to film this show so WORKERS COMPENSATION. Dancing is so taxing on the body already...you push, pull and force your body in unnatural positions. Add in sports incorrectly and you have a receipt for disaster. Injuries are reasons why there is special flooring for dance and sports, why there's different clothing and why there's different warm up techniques and training.
Rest is SUPER IMPORTANT to prevent injuries and recovery and the idols already dont get enough as is. To ask someone to shoot 20 plus hours on top of their hectic schedules without getting injured for possibly the rest of their life, youre asking too much.
And before its said that the idols sign up, it doesn't matter. You hold an event, any event with mass amounts of people in a small area, you damn make sure you have a medical team ready to jump, make sure everyone and everything is proofed on safety hazards and ALL heed caution. Negligence causes injuries and even death.
So that’s why so many idols slip on those tracks. I knew it was unnaturally high but I couldn’t understand why
This entire video has made me realize how much control athletes have over their muscles and body. Just one wrong move and it can end you. Something like this wouldn't be possible in some countries with so many young people participating, the families would be after lawsuits. It makes you wonder what their contract is like. I bet it's very interesting to study.
so...are u saying that Idol can get injured playing games and doing sports? WOW THAT'S UNEXPECTED
There's always upsides and downsides to things and it really should boil down to if the idols want to do it. Field day events happen throughout a person's school career and those typically aren't judged by professionals in individual fields. Injuries also happen in private off times such as gyms or outings to the park for examples. The only major difference being broadcasting of the event. So I think if they aren't pressured into it by means of lack of opportunities for music shows or acting gigs if they don't go and that they actually enjoy the activities of it than I don't see any issue with it. Providing that training, first aid, and safe environment is provided. In the future the better environment would probably be an actual track and field environment where things aren't stuck to the floor with vinyl lanes and field. But since it is a good way to allow them to have fun and enjoy time with fellow idols and fans. It also gains added exposure of newer groups and gives new comers to meet veterans of the industry in a less stuffy environment.
LOL I LOVE THE CLIP OF JACKSON IN ARCHERY!
bts have stated in run bts that they just can't attend anymore due to their busy schedules, although, bighit/hybe aren't in the best of terms with mbc so i doubt that they will return anyways
omg I would've loved to been a fly on the wall to know who's dating who
15:13 to add more to this. In 2019 an idol said on a live-stream that if they don't go to ISAC they don't "suffer disadvantages" they are completely banned by MBC for an specific amount of time (I think he mentioned the time but I can't fully recall).
... ISAC isn't even broadcasted on Mnet lol don't make up shit.
@@shruthakeerthi4559 oops, you are right, MBC.
I love youuuu
the dog training event sounds amazing, they should spin that off into its own thing
its so sad bc the idols act like they're fine but they're in pain :(
seventeen's leader S.Coups got banned because he argued with a staff member after jeonghan fell. He was yelling at them saying that the track was not safe etc
Thanks!
It does make sense that the companies want their idols to participate in this events in the middle of comeback promotion, but if they have to overwork themselves just to become better in a sport which isn't guaranteed you will actually get anyscreentime, then it's simply not worth it
Yeah if it was more variety style, it wouldnt have this much injuries bc it would be more laid back, without the rules, intensity and duration of real sports.
I almost forgot the mistreatment from staff workers to idols....
It's worth mentioning that a not-insignificant amount of idols have varying levels of high skill in sports, like VIXX's Leo (played on the national soccer league, so pre-pro, until he tore his ACL in high school) or GOT7's Jackson (nearly-Olympic level fencer). It IS super cool to see these idols in an entirely different context and also to see the passion they have for their respective sports, but that doesn't outweigh the risks of injury.
It's such a shame because I always thought ISAC was fun to watch. Some idols are athletic and love sports and had previous experience in them (Bang Chan being a swimmer, Yuta training for soccer, Chengxiao in rhythmic gymnastics). Or they got to try something new like archery and foot volleyball. I always thought idols were picked based on previous experience they'd had in the respective event they were competing in or ones that wouldn't need intensive training to try and learn. Hearing how the companies have forced a much more high level intense competition breaks my heart because ISAC was always supposed to be a place for idols to mingle and have some lighthearted competition away from the stage.
Idols were probably so happy that ISAC was canceled for 2020/21 lol it sucks that there aren't better precautions for injuries, im glad they stepped it up but all of those should've been there from the beginning
It’s a fun program and it’s cool to watch your favorite idol groups interact but it should be managed better :( there’s always a possibility you can get injured when playing sports!!
*SHINee owned ISAC*
Wow .. frankly, it had never crossed my mind how much they prepared and demanded themselves for that event, I thought they were just having fun, not that they took it so seriously, I mean accidents happen but they don't have to overextend themselves so much and hurt like that ... not worth it🙁
Omg I knew Woohyun had a shoulder injury but didnt know it was from ISAC. Thanks for exposing the truth. Many fans dont know what truly happens to their idols in these events. People only know ISAC as the dating spot for idols LOL
Now we know why YG never lets Blackpink goes to ISAC
I think the isac is an very fun idea because it can act as a mini vacation for the idols but at the same time, yeah the lack of safety was astounding.
