In the meantime, there has been no failed history of projects (such as Yuplash, Heritage, sprouts, refund expeditions, MSG Wannabe) based on music, so from the perspective of Hangout with Yoo, it is a card of conversion that will lead to reversal. But immediately, I faced criticism of "Is it another music entertainment?" Many viewers felt sick in a similar format, such as using the Blind Audition method of the MSG Wannabe project.
There was, of course, a differentiation strategy. First of all, instead of Yoo Jae-Suk, who led the MSG Wannabe project, he created a different atmosphere by introducing Yoo Jae-Suk, who expressed his aspiration to "get to the top of eight peaks nationwide." Here, we introduced the agency system. "Antenna" Yupalbong (Yoo Jae-Suk), "Media Labsyso" Elena Kim (Kim Sook), and "Quan Moojin (Quan + Yamujin)" Jeong Jun-ha and Haha were involved to diversify the judges.
The superficial reason was to relieve the burden of Yoo Jae-Suk and to pursue the diversity of 'listening ears': a kind of 'group intelligence'. However, it was also a way to utilize Jeong Jun-ha and Haha who joined as members of <Hangout with Yo>. Since the Americas and Shin Mina were to participate in the WSG Wannabe Audition, roles would have been needed for Jeong Jun-ha and Haha. But there is a disagreement about the effect.
Jing Jun-ha and Haha confused Audition with inconsistent screening Acceptance was often put on hold because of 'lack of personality' and 'no room'. Of course, it can be seen as an aspect of Audition, but it is suggested that it is not surprising because it is questionable about their professionalism. Kim Sook, who came in instead of Song Eun, did not show as much activity as expected, including putting on a futile leg.
In the second Blind Audition, 'Gong Hyo-jin', which is presumed to be the Americas, has a cheerful voice and digested the 'world that I met again' of Girls' Generation. It was a neat stage, and it was not easy to sing a group song that was sung by nine people, but it was not easy to sing alone. The judges who recognized the voice of the Americas at once shouted 'Acceptance' without any trouble.
The previous screening was poor, and there was no suggestion to listen to one more song. In addition, the Americas had already reached the top of the list with Lovelies, but no judges mentioned it; eventually, "Gong Hyo-jin" passed with three Acceptance votes. On the other hand, 'Scarlett Johansson', which was identified as Shin Mina, was eliminated because it was not selected by Yupalbong and Quanmujin even though its attractive tone was outstanding.
The final result of the Audition is still in the labyrinth; there are still many participants left, and additional Auditions are also scheduled for those who have been held. It is also not yet known whether the Americas will become the final member of WSG Wannabe or whether Shin Mina will miraculously revive through free pass. However, I hope that it will not result in a clear picture of putting a talented person among <Hangout with Yo> members.
It's the WSG Wannabe Audition, which started with the doubt of "Is it another music entertainment?" The production team should be more nervous than ever to turn cynicism into anticipation. We don’t have to leave behind any small doubts or ambiguous situations, so we expect to see WSG Wannabes that will be able to play well for those who have been unable to show off their skills for many reasons.
