From the very beginning, there was concern over whether KBS reality show "Top Band" would be a success and there were a number of factors working against them. The judges on the show, many of whom are regarded as legends in the history of Korean rock, are all figures who belong to a genre that is far removed from the mainstream consciousness and generally disregarded by the public. It is aired at a time when their competitors are airing dramas, Saturday night at ten. It doesn’t make use of the “devil’s editing” that other audition programs seem to use without abandon. Nor is it shot like a variety program. All it shows is a bunch of talented bands tirelessly working towards winning the competition.
