They did it again. Hugely popular game show "minute to win it" hosted by some dude that used to be (or still is) a chef. Koreans copied it - and everything, is the same. The games, the rules, everything.

Damn it, come up with your own ideas. Stop stealing ours! Razz

They also stole the 1 vs 100 show. I lol'd when my girlfriend insisted it was Korean. hahaha!
But America steals a lot of shows and sit-coms from England, too.
It happens.
But Korea does have a knack for just taking other people's <cough, samsung> ideas.

maybe they paid for the rights?
I mean those shows like super star K and those other music shows are basically American idol, or britans got talent..

Who cares if someone copies an idea for a TV show?

Why is it that nobody can replicate the original Top Gear phenomenon. I have watched Top Gear Australia... painful, and I'm an Aussie, Top Gear USA ... WOW CRAP... Top Gear Korea... Very average.

Nothing matches the original.

Alot of successful shows are sold to overseas countries as RIGHTS. I wouldn't be surprised if they paid a small fee to use the idea.

OF course it isn't. Kimchi originated in China. Gochu was first imported by the Portugese.
