Wow, that's teally upsetting. I agree that I come from a different cultural viewpoint but taxes are just....I don't know, not something is cut out a person for. In the wide world of scandalous this doesn't seem that scandalous and it seems like he's already paid the fine for it?

Boo. I don't really have an urge to watch now.

Dislike! Will join the protest and not watch.

Too bad.... :(

That is such a huge bummer. I was so excited to see Jang Geun-suk in something that was bound to be awesome. His tax evasion scandal came around the time Song Hye-kyo's emerged. That's as a while ago. I didn't know there was a new one surfacing again.

I feel it's unfair on JGS. I do think it was a collective decision but it's not the biggest crime in the world. When people like Lee Byung-heon can still do movies and Kim Hyun-joong hold concerts, it's such a huge stretch to edit out already filmed materials just to get someone off the show. It's such a morale downing incident for JGS too. Hope he'll be back with something better and producers who aren't such cowards.

It may be selfishness on my part but the timing! :( they could have done this at least midway. I wanted to see this guy in a different setting.

No chef Jang? I won't be watching then.

This really really sucks. T________T

(I mean the news. I'm also kinda maybe mad at the universe right now for its shitty timing.....)

Ridiculous how a 'irrelevant' news website resurfaced the old news from last year adding some spices to it and knetz once again getting all raged up against him , mocking at him whether if he's trying to regain that image through the show. What else could he have done other than agreeing to the producers decisions? His thoughtfulness into not bringing any criticisms to his co stars because of him :(

And yes it was his fault for not looking after his accountant firm personally, should have dropped all his work and only looked after whether his taxes are being payed in time without errors or not.

Way to damage someone's career and he's helpless about it. I can feel it how terrible it must be for any Artist to face such situations where they aren't even directly involved in issue. Hope he can regain himself and raise all over again, all that hardships for shooting and his excitement to be on a variety show T.T

NO NoNO. Gosh darn it this was his chance to make up for Pretty Man! it was his chance to endear himself to the Korean people and improve his popularity.

I was hope to watch this and find him likable.

*hoping*

Gosh this sucks totally. What a mess.Why cast him in the first place if the producers are particular about artists with Squeeky clean image and then embarrass the artist.

This is what Na PD said about JGS in his recent interview a week ago
"I had the foremost interest in him among the casts of ‘Three Meals a Day – Fishing Village’. He’s been known as a synonym for ‘bluff’ and ‘scoff’. However, I thought there was a distortion of the truth. Seeing him who’s survived in a harsh entertainment industry with such a unique character since a kid star, I wanted to know the secret power that keeps supporting him. That’s why I asked him to appear my TV program." I feel like someone's targetting him in the showbiz.

im totally disappointed about this news . we eels support you jks no matter what happen .

I will never watch this program without my oppa jang geun suk..... never never never.....

This totally sucks. I almost wish this show bombs in ratings but that's unfair to all those involved. But really, bad decisions. I don't think the dynamic will be quite the same without him, unless they cast someone else to fill the spot. Cha and Yoo are great, but they're no Seo Jinnie to carry a two man show, or so I think.

What? RIDICULOUS.

I do not understand Korea. Sometimes it's like image is so much more important to them than the real people, I find these witch hunts and adoration for their celebrities to be disgusting.

why...? i always wait my Jang Keun Suk... I do not understand korea... you must see about my jang keun suk...Jang keun Suk always love your country but korea always hate my prince..

My excitement turns into a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!! I really wanted to see him in a variety show.

OH well this is a hazard of following Korean entertainment. it leaves us westerners disappointed and scratching our heads. Koreans don't like Jang Guen suk much anyway. Evidently he isn't humble enough. Then he went and had a good time while out camping last year and just proved to the world that he's an entitled jerk, or so they believe. He and his management probably decided it wasn't worth the time or effort to field all the internet hate just to make a little chump change on a Korean variety show.

Omg, i was so excited about him and this show. It was an opportunity to see his true self, and for the whole country to discover how authentic, smart and honest he is.
But now, this seems wrong, furthermore unfair >.<...In dramas, they always make you believe that goodness can beat all evilness, however, in real life the industry is two faced and unforgiving!!!
Damn! What sad news, even so, I know he will make it through and will show to his country his value. He still has the rest of Asia to support him :) (South America too...I love you Sukkie!) :-)♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

I probably won't be watching this now.

Feel so upset with this news. I notice the show just because of Jang Geun Suk but now I feel like dont wanna watch it if Geun Suk's not appear in that show. I've let tvN know that I want Geun Suk on the 3 meals a day show by posting on their fanpage. Perhaps it won't change their decision but they should know that we feel upset with such decision.

I am only excited to watch this show because of JKS... now that he was removed.. no way for me to spend even a single second watching this show... They didn't even show their support to him despite his willingness to accept all the challenges and hardships just to make the show interesting and successful.. So damn of them to make such a rude decision.. All I can say is that what ever happen I am still here to support and show my love to my one and only Prince !!!

I was really looking forward to this show. It really is absurd.

A Korean actor who publicly accepted he did beat his girlfriend was recently voted Top Model. And JGS gets kicked out of a show for this. Really, it makes one wonders about the core value of Korean society. It is acceptable to beat up women...but "avoiding" (since Tree J said it was a mistake...not evasion and it was quickly corrected) paying taxes that's the unpardonable sin.

Such hypocrisy.

I join this protest and will not watch the show.

It seems that Korean law takes finance crime to the highest level of everything follow-up by drugs but adultery, abusing and raping to the lowest as it can get.

What!?...tvN/k-ent what the hell!? Its hardly a crime. He paid it as soon as he knew about it. JGS Fighting! ?✊?

Very disappointed, and I won't be watching now. And I'm not even a big JGS fan! This is so silly. This is an old scandal that only resurfaced in the media because, ironically, he's paying the back taxes and fines.

The fun of this show, at least for me, was going to be seeing pampered prince JGS scrounge for his meals and get ordered around by Chajumma. It's a classic setup, the city guy plunked down in the country. Without the city guy, the setting doesn't work.

I can't blame Na PD or tVn too much. They live and die by ratings, and if they honestly feel public sentiment is strongly against JGS, they had to cut him, I suppose. That being said, as someone mentioned here, there's something really wrong when an admitted beater of women is preparing for his concerts while someone who didn't pay all his taxes -and we don't even know if it was deliberate, and he's paid them since!- has to be excised from a show.

Something is rotten and fishy here, and it's not the meals JGS was supposed to be catching.

I'm really disappointed since I was really looking forward to see the show. I guest I'm won't be watching this.

OK - dropped! Was so looking forward to this and, much as I like CSW, I now won't be bothering with this either! The madcap and elements and random comedy that JKS would have brought were the real attraction here.

Also - even allowing for cultural differences - I really don't get this KWorld "scandal" business and how a few outspoken net-anons seem to hold such sway. And in this case, how can a genuine mistake immediately addressed and compensated possibly be a scandal? Or anybody's business in the larger scheme of things.

"many viewers expressed concern over his appearance in the show"

Really? The poor guy paid the fine and cleared it up. Gee whiz. The Korean viewers really have too much influence in celebrities' lives sometimes.
So I guess your life has to be pristine for you to be on TV. Give him some slack. It's not like he assaulted someone or anything like that. Then I'd understand.
