Damn Idol Episode 89

* * *

Episode 8 of Coming Up Next was broadcast.

Episode 8 was the final episode of the mission to arrange Chris Edwards' famous songs.

Sedalbaekil arranged Chris Edward's Highway and performed a stage called .

The stage was great.

The concept of time travel from was faithfully utilized, and the setting that Lee Ion was in fact the villain was also revealed.

Of course, there were many viewers who did not like this.

However, even for those people, the stage was so great that it was closer to favorable than unfavorable.

I realized that adding a setting or world view to a mediocre stage would be tacky, but if it was a great stage, it would be something else to enjoy.

-Wow, I liked this.

-In the meantime, whenever idols criticized their worldview, I thought it was a bitch, but now I know why.

-What?

-Because I can't sing hahaha It wasn't like that because of the world view, right?

-You can just say you did well for three months and 100 days. Why do you criticize other idols too?

-Because they have an inferiority complex.

-Kkotdeoks, welcome back.

-Tension Mom, welcome back.

-Aren't you a synth mom?

-It could be because of the take scene haha.

-Is 3 months and 100 days a public enemy? Why are there so many enemies?

-Absolute comparative advantage.

-Seven letter insight ㅆㅅㅌㅊ

So, I wanted fans in the general community to show this kind of reaction as well.

However, when the review was made public, controversy arose.

[It was a stage created by the Hansion participant's individual capabilities, and other members benefited from it.]

[Nangjungjichu. The awl comes out through the pocket. It may mean something good, but it may also mean something bad. The bag of three months and one hundred days was torn by an awl.]

This was because the judges all emphasized the role of Hansion and disparaged Sedalbaekil.

-Didn't you hit some onsaemi today?

-That's right. I sang it best.

-?? Did you do well for three months?

-It's just that Hipsion was so good that it seemed that way to the judges.

-Isn't the villain Han Si-on, not Lee Ion? Haha, the destroyer of the ecosystem haha.

The stage score of 3 Months and 100 Days, which was subsequently revealed, was also lower than expected.

Those who watched the program casually thought so and passed on, but that didn't mean there weren't those who took it seriously.

In particular, a community that had its own solid foundation was on fire.

-Aren't you just trying to make a take scene debut?

-Why? All you have to do is debut on the 110th of every three months.

-Then the cost of training and taking scenes for several years cannot be recovered.

-The above is correct. There are no investment costs for the first 30 days of the month, so I have to settle the account by calculation. It would be better to debut the take scene first, and then debut about 1 to 2 years later.

-Is there anyone who doesn't know that this program was originally created to debut Take Scene?

-ㅇㅈ I still can't forget the biggest issue of episode 1. The take scenes have to be competitive, but there is no reason haha. I just want to fight it out haha.

-But there is a lot of evidence that a take scene debut plan has already been made.

-(Photo)(Photo).

-This is data from a big performance agency, and there are a lot of take scenes included in the September festival.

-(Photo)(Photo).

-It says Ryan Rookie Group here.

-(Information Chu) There have been no new groups debuting on Ryan in the past two years.

-omg.

-There was a rumor that you were filming a music video in the studio.

Of course, not all viewers agreed with this opinion.

Controversies about the fairness of judges' reviews exist in any audition program.

It was nothing special.

However, the atmosphere changed slightly after the review by special judge Chris Edwards.

[It was a fun stage. I don't know Korean, but I'm not stupid enough to miss the vibe on stage.]

[The five people clearly reached the same destination with the same emotions. And it exploded. Boom!]

[You definitely have some regrets. If you look at each person individually, you will see their weaknesses and shortcomings.]

[However, when the entire team gathered together, it was a stage where such aspects were not visible at all.]

Because it was a completely different review from the previous judges.

Producer Kang Seok-woo did not particularly emphasize or minimize Chris Edwards' words.

It was just exported as a static bust shot without any editing.

But it has meaning in itself.

-Isn't it strange that the PD seems to be in control of the judges?

-Aren't you upset because Choi Dae-ho made a fuss about having Take Scene debut?

- King potential is full and overflowing.

- Haha, wouldn't Edward be correct based on common sense?

After that, Chris Edward saying goodbye to Han Zion was also broadcast.

[It was a really cool arrangement. I will tell you that at every crossroads, the team called Sedalbaekil chose the path to perfection.]

[The original song was very good.]

The two even seemed quite close, and there was even talk of Chris Edwards saying that they would definitely meet again.

In some ways, it is a natural scene.

Since it was the scene where Chris Edwards, who had miraculously joined the program, left, it was worth giving up this much.

But if you think about it carefully, it's a bit strange.

Why did I talk to Han Si-on alone?

Didn't the other judges see them off?

Did Chris Edwards' exit really have to be like this?

This means that it is possible to have such thoughts.

Eventually, the next mission was revealed and episode 8 ended.

As soon as the broadcast ended, internet news outlets uploaded articles about Coming Up Next's viewership ratings.

[COMING UP NEXT! Breaking through the 10% level of magic.]

[Best achievement since the opening of M Show. "Recruiting PD Kang Seok-woo was the best choice"]

[MBN's viewership ratings maker, now M Show's Miders!]

This was because Coming Up Next broke the 10% viewer rating mark.

[Average viewer rating: 10.2%]

[Average viewer rating in the metropolitan area: 10.9%]

[Highest viewership per minute: 12.2%]

It was an incredible record.

That means one in ten people have seen Coming Up Next.

To be more specific, the broadcaster estimated that the total pie of the current entertainment program is about 30-35% of the viewership rating.

If you add up the viewership ratings of all TV programs in the same time period, you get this amount.

So, these days, entertainment shows are not rated out of 100, but out of 30 (or 35).

Coming Up Next received a score of 10 out of 30.

Until now, Channel M Show had a strong influence in the music industry, but there was an impression that the channel's content power was weak.

Because they were competing for 3rd or 4th place in the rankings of cable channels excluding public channels.

However, with Coming Up Next, most indicators were being used anew.

Given the situation, M Show should have a festival atmosphere every day.

But in reality, that wasn't the case.

Although ordinary employees may not know this, the atmosphere at the top was rapidly cooling.

This was because of the direction of episode 8's broadcast.

"Isn't Kang Seok-woo crazy? "Why did you broadcast it like that?"

"I don't know. "The boss was upset."

Those who criticize Kang Seok-woo.

"Was the shit at Ryan Entertainment a bit harsh?"

"That's right. "They ruined the program."

"What's wrong with Kang Seok-woo? All the producer needs to do is get high viewership ratings."

Those who defend Kang Seok-woo.

The two groups were in fierce conflict, creating an ugly atmosphere.

And this was Kang Seok-woo's choice.

Kang Seok-woo accepted Han Si-ion's advice to push for three months and one hundred days.

Even if you think about it rationally, it was the right decision.

But he went one step further.

'If I take this on myself, I could get thrown out.'

It was brought as an ingredient for M Show's factional fight.

It was not attached to the president who was close to Ryan Entertainment, but to the director who was in conflict with the president.

In this case, unless the entire line of directors is kicked out, Kang Seok-woo is safe.

Moreover, Kang Seok-woo was now holding Excalibur, which was more powerful than anyone else.

If someone attacks you... … .

"Yes Innoom! "Can you do this to me, who has the highest viewer ratings since M Show was launched?"

All it takes is for the viewership ratings to be muted.

They said, 'I don't know about things like Ryan and M Show, but we just need to stick to the fact that we got good viewership ratings.'

Because that's the PD's role.

If Kang Seok-woo appears like this, it becomes difficult to hold him responsible for Han Si-on and Se Dal Baek-il's escape.

If you want to ask, the CEO team will have to come forward, but then the directors will cover it up and rush in.

Of course, if you think about it, the real benefit of the broadcasting station lies with the CEO.

If the take scene becomes popular, the profits Ryan Entertainment will bring to M Show are enormous.

However, this is a fact that is not recorded through the back contract.

The external justification lies in the director's line.

Some may ask whether it is sane to ruin a program with a viewership rating of over 10% due to business logic.

"Wow, Kang Seok-woo is smart."

"It was an external recruitment. "I guess I should have toed the line."

So, it became an established theory within M Show that Kang Seok-woo pushed 3 Months and 100 Days to pretend to be a ratings fanatic.

It wasn't wrong, but... … .

No one knew that the cause of all this was Han Si-on's tongue.

'This is neat.'

It is not good to know that the issue that caused an uproar at the broadcasting station started with the mouth of a cast member.

It is neat that Kang Seok-woo, who was cornered, was able to join the moving line with a useful card.

Now the rest is out of Kang Seok-woo's hands.

It is impossible to predict how the leadership and board of directors will reach an agreement.

but.

'Three months and one hundred days didn't go as well as I thought.'

PD Kang Seok-woo knew what Han Si-on was doing these days.

While traveling around the indie scene, I am constantly appearing as a guest at events.

However, not a single article has been posted on the Internet, and it seems almost impossible for the topic to spread in the future.

It should have sparked a buzz when the situation first occurred.

A week later, it was already too late.

I thought it was a pity, but public and private life must be distinguished.

I don't know if the day will come when I can help, but not now.

* * *

Same time.

There was someone who had the same thought as PD Kang Seok-woo.

It was Koo Tae-hwan.

"Zion. "Aren't we doing well?"

"huh? what?"

"No, you couldn't bring up the topic in the end."

Han Si-on said that the 3 Months and 10 Days crew must prove themselves and become famous.

In order to do that, he said that the 3 Months and 100 Crew should bring the topicality of Coming Up Next.

Koo Tae-hwan thought that indie performances were part of such activities.

At first it seemed like a pretty good plan.

A series of fancam videos were uploaded, and their names began to come up in the band community.

But in the end, nothing changed.

The topicality has disappeared, and only traces of public interest remain.

It seems like there was pressure from Ryan Entertainment or M Show.

Of course, if there was zero growth in three months, that was absolutely not the case.

Aside from musical growth, there may have been some awareness of the team brand name.

However, if the final goal they pursue is 100, it seems like they have only grown by 1 at most.

Maybe I haven't even reached it.

That's why I was asking.

This is not to criticize Han Si-on for not being successful, but to think together if the plan goes wrong.

Han Si-on's reaction to this is… … .

"What do you mean?"

It was completely unexpected.

Producer Kang Seok-woo, Koo Tae-hwan, and maybe even Lion Entertainment CEO Choi Dae-ho.

It was all a misunderstanding.

Hansion's plan hasn't even begun yet.
