This is a really short excerpt from a lonnngg 10Asia article on the filming directors of SBS Inkigayo. It mentions SNSD and their expectant fans that come to watch them on the show. ^^

SBS Inkigayo's Filming Director | Filming Stars Through a Fan's Perspective

Question 1: If you wanted to watch a performance of Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry," which show would be the best to watch?
1) MBC Music Core
2) KBS Music Bank
3) SBS Inkigayo
I don't know about regular viewers, but if you were a Super Junior fan, you would have chosen the third, SBS Inkigayo. Inkigayo is a special program nowadays because subtle and dynamic in the way they never miss any of the 12 members doing their complicated, but unified, "Sorry Sorry" dance and song. [...] What makes Inkigayo different than any other gayo program? We met with Inkigayo filming directors, Kim Jaewon and Choi Gilwoong.

[...]


It's possible to have such a good stage for performances like "Sorry Sorry" (left) and "Gee" when the conditions, set, and lighting are all working nicely together.

10: What was the main focus of SNSD's stages as opposed to 2PM or Super Junior?

Kim Jaewon: The dances and atmosphere for "Himnae" and "Gee" are very cute, so we tried to bring out that concept. The majority of SNSD's fans seemed to be male students, so it was really funny when we couldn't focus because they would sit in their seats and shout really loudly, like cows crying, in their very low voices. So during rehearsal, I asked them, "Guys, do you really like them that much?" and they answered, "Of course. Try being like us." Their suggestion for me to look at them in the fans' perspectives hit me. So when the members came out on stage, I thought I should capture their pretty and lovable gestures that the fans go crazy for with the best of my abilities.

10: But lately, there seems to be a lot of fans that are rivals of the shows. Since there are a lot of fans that film the performances with their own video cameras, is there pressure on the broadcasting company to show them a better video in terms of technicality?

Kim Jaewon: Seriously, viewers and fans today are not only very critical and expect a lot, they also know a lot themselves and are very active on the topic. So Inkigayo is different now than it was 10 years ago, so we have to study on it even more. To put things simply, it's not something where I can go out for a drink one night and come to work the next day saying, "Ah, so tired," and hold the camera any way I want. It's now at a level so that even if I stay until midnight to monitor and film, I'm only 70% satisfied.

Ah, the film director and cameramen work really hard! LOL @ the part where he said the dudes are like cows crying hahaha! I'd be one of those cows ^^ It is smart for them to pay closer attention the the gestures and stuff, it really is what the fans love haha. Inki really does a good job at camera angles and stuff. Interesting interesting, thanks for translating!

[ghizuu]

Haha the comment on the fanboys is funny! It's really cool that it hit the person filming to see what it is like to be a fan and film the stage well.
I personally love SBS Inkigayo broadcasts.

I still think the Sorry Sorry performance's lighting in general is too dark. But i do like Inkigayo when SNSD performed their 2nd Gee there after Music Core. The girls were perfect that night and i'm sure i'm not the only one that's just saying that because i'm a fan.

SNSD fan-boys are too awesome, PD's epiphany in camera works. Nice.

[adrian]

fanboys are awesome.
its weird how he described fanboys as cows crying in their very low voices. lol
thanks for translating. ^^

[blissfulskye]

Aww poor staff they get as much criticism from the netizens as the celebs themselves =/
But it is a really good idea to film it from a fan's P.O.V. where it's important to film every member ^^
Rofl fanboys~ Thanks for sharing and translating!

[passmethewrinch]

[kris_argee]

I just imagined cows calling "Yoooooooona!!! Muuu XD" love love love those low voice cows XDDD, fanboys are awesome specially when they dance a long to stuff xD.

[barapamos]

Each music shows have their own charm but I have to say that Inkigayo is one of the best.
I really like the stage and the light. The staff always do such a great job.
It's funny that this staff mentioned about fanboys that they have cow-crying voices.

[Cole]

lol do we all really sound like that? hahaha
i've never heard a cow cry really
but fanboys will be fanboys, what can you do?
we love the girls enough to sound like cows crying rofl

[laydeebutterfly]

^
i think cows crying is somehow a good expression in korea? but they are not exxagerating when they say inkigayo has the best camera work out of the three network~ ^^ thanx to them all those pretty gestures and faces are aired~

[.smile!]

me and my friends were just discussing which gayo show have the best cameramen and decided on Inki.

haha, it's a good idea to put themselves in we, the fans' view and capture the stage and moments at the right timing & person.lol

thanks for sharing this excerpt~

[veirent]

oh.. wow
thanks for sharing this
it's really enlightening when we can see the girls from a different view
i think this gives us a more complete understanding

[GirlsGEEneration]

hmmm... i never thought of Inkigayo or any other music broadcasting companies that way before.
it's nice to hear an account from a filming director. i now have new respect for them.
the amount of attention and work they put into filming idols is incredible.

thanks for translating and posting this up!
