In the first half of the year, JTBC drama 'SKY Castle' caused syndrome, and in the second half, KBS 2TV 'Camellia Flower' hit the house theater. The popularity of 'Pengsoo', the main character of EBS 1TV children's program 'Giant Peng TV', is also indispensable. On the other hand, TVN dramas were caught up in crisis, with TV viewer ratings dropping to 0%.
Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo divorce
Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo became South and South after a year and nine months of marriage. The two developed into lovers through the KBS 2TV drama "Dawn of the Sun" (2016), and they married in October 2017. It was called 'the couple of the century' and received much attention, but the marriage did not last long. Song Joong-ki said he received a request for divorce mediation in June, saying, "I hope to finish the divorce procedure smoothly rather than blame each other for wrong." Song Hye-kyo also said, "I am in the process of divorce after careful consideration with my husband." The reason is that the two sides can not overcome the difference between the two sides.
Among the officials, the theory that 'Song Hye-kyo is responsible for the divorce' was put on weight. In general, it is generally applied for mediation from the side that is not responsible for the divorce, and the opinion that 'Song Joong-ki is not as dignified as he first informed the media' is dominant. When the jirashi spread, such as 'Song Hye-kyo had an affair with a 12-year-old Park Bo-gum who was breathing in the drama 'Boyfriend', Song Joong-ki and Park Bo-gum (26)'s agency Blossom said, "It is not true at all. "We will respond to the law," he warned.
A month later, in July, the 12th solo housework of the Seoul Family Court established the two divorce adjustments. The two sides announced that the adjustment process was "finished by divorcing without alimony and property division"; they are committed to their respective activities after divorce. Song Joong-ki has started filming "Sung Ri-ho" (director Cho Sung-hee) eight days after announcing the divorce, and is about to open next year. It is an SF movie based on the first universe in Korea, and Song Joong-ki plays the role of 'Taeho', a problematic pilot of Seung-ho, who always knows everything that is money. Song Hye-kyo also attended the promotion of the cosmetics brand "Sulhwasu" shortly after the divorce, and is discussing the appearance of the film "Anna" (director Lee Ju-young).
Jeon Mi-seon and Cha In-ha Die
This year, many news of toxic deaths were reported. The U.S. was found dead at 11:45 a.m. on June 29 in the bathroom of a hotel room in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province. The manager reported to the police, and the already-deteriorated Jeon Mi-sun was transferred to the hospital but failed to get up. At that time, the Jeon Mi-sun was staying in the Jeonju for the play "Two nights and three days with his mother". He had a normal depression, and no suicide note was found.
Cha In-ha also died too early, having been found dead in his home on the afternoon of the 3rd of this month. MBC TV drama 'Humans with Hazard' was appearing on the day before, and the day before, "Everyone is careful of the cold" in the Instagram, after the news of the recent death, shocked. Above all, the group 'f(x)' talent Sully (25 and Choi Jin-ri) and 'Kara' Kuhara (28) followed by Cha In-ha, which raised the voice of concern about the 'Berther effect'.
'SKY Castle' and 'Celborian Flowers' Syndrome
JTBC 'SKY Castle' showed a 1% miracle. It combined black comedy and mystery thriller genre to satirize the educational reality of our country. The top 0.1% of the prestigious wives also brought out the people. It started with 1% of the first TV viewer ratings (based on Nielsen Korea's nationwide paid households), but the last 20 times took 23.8%. The main actors, Yeom Jung-a and Kim Seo-hyung, showed the power of 40 actresses and were in their second heyday.
In the second half of the year, "Around the time of camellia flower" caused a fever. Gong Hyo-jin once again chose his main specialty, romance comedy genre. Turning into a single mother 'camellia' trapped in prejudice in the world, she cried and laughed at viewers with her romance with a simple police box police officer 'Yongsik' (Kang Ha-neul). The last 20 episodes were 23.8 percent, the highest TV viewer ratings of the terrestrial miniseries this year. This is why Gong Hyo-jin is considered as a potential candidate for the 2019 KBS Acting Grand Prize held on the 31st.
Maximize efficiency with terrestrial and artistic materials
The three terrestrial companies have made a change with "choice and concentration" in a huge deficit, maximizing efficiency by expanding production of entertainment products that are more profitable than dramas. SBS broke the official "mini-series at 10 pm on weekdays." In August, it showed 'Little Forest', an entertainment product at 10 pm on August. Currently, in the 10th century on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, the entertainment "Lee Dong-wook wants to talk" and "Maman's Square" are on the air.
KBS has started emergency management as its business losses reached 101.9 billion won this year, temporarily abolishing the monthly drama, and plans to reduce the number of programs to 90% of the current level by next year. On Tuesday afternoon of last month, the 10th generation entertainment "Jung Hae-in's Walk Report" was shown for the first time. SBS and KBS have put top stars Lee Dong-wook and Jung Hae-in on the front, but TV viewer ratings are sluggish at 2 ~ 4% (Nilson Korea national standard).
EBS, laughing at 'Pengsoo', crying at 'Bonnie Hani'
The popularity of 'Pengsoo' is not cool. It is strange and mistakes a lot, but honesty is attractive, and it constantly learns and challenges dreams. In eight months, the number of YouTube subscribers has exceeded 500,000, and now exceeds 1.5 million. The essay diary "Pengsoo Tomorrow" with the story of Pengsoo proved popular with the bestseller.
However, EBS was hit directly by the assault and sexual harassment of the children's program 'Live Talk! Tok! Boni, Hani'. Choi Young-soo, a 'Dangdang Man', made a move that seemed to wield a fist when Chae Yeon of the MC group 'Busters' grabbed his arm on the last 10 days' Bonnie Hani YouTube live broadcast. 'Eat' Park Dong-geun was criticized for saying to Chae Yeon, "X disinfected with listerine." Choi Young-soo and Park Dong-geun were suspended from the EBS, and the director of the production department, the director of the Children's Special Director for Children and the director of the Children's Children, were dismissed.
'I want to know' Kim Sung-jae
Will the death mystery of the group 'Deuce' Kim Sung-jae (1972–1995) be solved in 24 years? The 51st Division of the Civil Agreement of the Seoul Southern District Court (chief judge Ban Jung-woo) cited an application for a disposition to ban broadcasting of SBS TV's current affairs culture, "I Want to Know", which was filed by Kim's former girlfriend A. It is the second time since the broadcast was banned in August. The court said, "The broadcast implies that A may have killed Kim." "The fulfillment of the people's right to know or the formation of the right public opinion is only a superficial plan that SBS has put forward to broadcast the broadcast, I saw.
The SBS PD Association issued a statement saying, "The military regime, which mandated pre-censorship, has happened in 2019," he said. "I feel an unbearable anger beyond regret." The PD Association also criticized the court, saying, "The court has violated the right of the public to know about public interest." It is difficult to avoid doubts that the judicial branch's cover of the family was not the top judgment standard. "
Kim Sung-jae was found dead in an annex room of the Swiss Grand Hotel on November 20, 1995, with 28 needle marks on his right arm, and Zoletil, an animal anesthetic, was detected in his body. Kim, an old girlfriend who was identified as a possible suspect, was sentenced to death in the first trial and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, the final acquittal was made in the second and third trials.
Kim's mother said on December 19, "I suffered from biased reports for 24 years through a legal representative, Deoksu. 28 injection marks were found on Kim Sung-jae's arm. The first discoverer, the police, found only four, the coroner found 15, and finally 28 autopsy. "There was no situation to see as a rebellion, such as a rebellion," he said. "I would like to ask you to help your daughter live without suffering from the article of witch hunting and witch hunting."
TVN Crisis
The cable channel tvN was in crisis faster than terrestrial broadcasting. It is hard to list the hit drama except for "The Man Who Became King" and "Hotel Deluna" this year. Above all, I saw the bitter taste of the 'Asdal Chronicles' failure, which cost 54 billion won in total production. Kim Won-seok, a producer of "Micro-life" (2014) and "Signal" (2016), and Korean Wave stars Song Joong-ki and Jang Dong-gun gathered topics, but awkward performances, stretching stories, and clumsy CGs were criticized. Although it was planned as a season system from the beginning as it does not make any profits due to huge production costs, it remains at 4 ~ 7% TV viewer ratings (based on Nielsen Korea's nationwide paid households), and the possibility of Season 2 is slim.
It is no exaggeration to say that 'TV viewer ratings are more than 4 percent.' The TVN drama 'CycoPass Diary' currently on the air is staying at 1 ~ 2% of TV viewer ratings. 'Catch the ghost', 'Chunri Mart', 'Cheongil Electronics Mitsuri' and 'I melt me' all of them were only 2 ~ 3%. "When the devil called your name last September," said an official who said, "Did not the TV viewer ratings drop to 0%? "The cost of production was exceeded, and the blow was great," he said. "After this work, internal censorship was strengthened. JTBC appreciates the workability even if TV viewer ratings are a little lower, but CJ is a thorough performanceist. "
