The wave of the controversy over TVN entertainment <You Quiz on the Block on the Block> (hereinafter referred to as <You Quiz on the Block>) is not showing signs of abating. <You Quiz on the Block> has been on the rise since President-elect Yoon Seak-ryul appeared on the 20th. Since the appearance was announced, protests against the political use of the program and the political use of the program have heated up the program bulletin board. Various online communities have been met with support and opposition over the appearance of Yoon Seak-ryul.
The 'Yoo Jae-Suk', a sanctuary that the public did not touch, did not escape the vortex of this controversy. There was an advocacy that "Yoo Jae-Suk would have been forced to work" as "the program guest selection is the part of the production team," but there were also a few protests that he should have opposed and prevented the appearance of Yoon Seak-ryul.
After the broadcast was released, protests continued from the supporters of the election of Yoon Seak-ryul, because of the dry feeling that reduced the atmosphere of entertainment compared to other times. This is the first time that Yo Jae-Suk, who has been loved without anti-completion with perfect self-management in his work and personal life, has heard this bitter voice in his 30-year activities.
The controversy could have been quiet because there are a lot of viewers who see the appearance of Yoon Seak-ryul as a positive actor, as the decision of the cast is the part of the production team and the broadcaster. However, after the broadcast, President Moon Jae-in and Prime Minister Kim Bu-gyeom were previously rejected for the appearance of You Quiz on the Block, and the fire was poured into the fire.
The reason for the rejection was that the appearance of politicians was difficult due to the nature of the program. Some of the opinions were raised that Yoon is responsible for appearing in the election, and that he is Kang Ho-sung, CEO of CJ ENM, who has worked with Yoon, beyond the production team.
In the process, the controversy continued like a wildfire that was rarely caught because of the attitude of CJ, which had been silent even though the refutation of President Moon Jae-in and Prime Minister Kim Bu-gyeom was "unfounded" after the refusal of Prime Minister Moon Jae-in.
The controversy seems to be in a difficult situation for everyone to accept with any answer or response. As most broadcast programs have been when they face problems, the production team and the broadcaster are likely to wait for time to be forgotten, and expect viewers to return to their original interest if they have fun in the future.
Yoo Jae-Suk is currently experiencing difficulties, but it is believed that he will soon recover his original beloved national MC status. Although there is a hard-line public opinion asking Yo Jae-Suk about the responsibility that caused the controversy, it is not a problem as an active subject who decided to appear in Yoon, but it is heard as an indirect cause provider that can not be prevented.
I am not a producer, and I have not shown my influence on the production as usual, but the public who recognizes Yo Jae-Suk as a victim of this controversy is also considerable. So while there are still tough dissatisfied people, it is more general opinion that Yo Jae-Suk hopes that this controversy will not cause any flaws in his career.
The future seems a little uncertain. You Quiz on the Block was the best interview entertainment. It has provided fun and impression to viewers through exquisite selection of curious guests, meticulous and in-depth preliminary surveys, interview composition, and humanistic approach that evokes empathy.
Most viewers were attracted to You Quiz on the Block, although they were often criticized for lacking verification or inviting socially controversial guests. I apologized when there was a controversy and tried not to trust viewers with a careful attitude to select guests afterwards.
However, the controversy is different. Even if we respond, it is not easy because we can not appease both the pros and cons of Yoon. In addition, if there is no appropriate and convincing explanation for President Moon and Kim's refusal to appear, the trust in the principle of the program will be broken.
Unlike other entertainment programs, the interview program is as important as the fun, and the current situation of <You Quiz on the Block> seems serious. Is there any way to overcome this crisis for You Quiz on the Block?
