"wow 55K likes for a fucking LIE and posted by a blink here we go again well this was from KBS COOL FM a popular South Korean radio network operated by Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) so setup is usually like this: - The idol/host is inside a recording booth. - The booth uses soundproof (acoustic) glass. - Fans may be outside the building or outside the studio window. - The idol typically wears headphones during broadcast. - Fans outside can usually see the idol through the glass. BUT THE IDOLS CANNOT CLEARLY HEAR WHAT FANS ARE SAYING OUTSIDE BECAUSE SOUNDPROOF STUDIO GLASS IS SPECIFICALLY"
