“Knowing Bros” And “Omniscient Interfering View” To Edit Song Ji A Out — Here’s The Full Story Of Her Rise And Fall

Here’s how she got her start in 2017.

Beauty creator, influencer and Netflix star Song Ji A has been the talk of the town recently. Over the last few months, she was the name hot on everyone’s lips. From television shows to commercials, it seemed like she was featured everywhere. However, just as quick as it rose, her star soon fell. With her recent controversy around wearing fake designer goods, she fell out of public favor.

She had already filmed episodes for variety shows, Knowing Bros and Omniscient Interfering View, following her surge in popularity after Single’s Inferno took off. While both broadcasters initially decided to let things proceed as planned after her controversy initially broke out, they now announced their planned revision in new statements. Knowing Bros features a cast ensemble, and they concluded that they will be editing the episode to minimize her impact.

It is difficult to completely edit [Song Ji A] out of the episode due to her conversation and flow with the other cast members. We plan to air the episode after editing her parts out.

On the other hand, Omniscient Interfering View decided to edit her out of the show completely. They will replace her segment with another guest cast member.

After discussing with Song Ji A, we have decided to not air her broadcast. This upcoming episode on the 29th will air regularly with a different cast. We will do our best to show a better and more improved side to Omniscient Interfering View for our supportive viewers.
