"Under Fifteen," which is supposed to air on March 31, now faces uncertainty about whether it will be postponed or canceled altogether as MBN gave in to mounting controversy over whether it is appropriate for young kids to appear on the show.
"We are fully aware of the concerns raised about the show and will thoroughly review whether to proceed with its airing," it said in a statement last week.
The show featuring some 59 contestants under the age of 15 from over 70 countries was about to showcase their battle for a chance to become K-pop's next big stars.
