Seoul) = The men's Trot audition Festival will be held in the second half of this year. While the original Trot audition channel and the original pd have begun to search for 'the second Lim Young-woong' with different programs, there is a growing question about which male Trot audition program will laugh.
On the 24th of last month, TV Chosun (TV CHOSUN) announced the recruitment of participants by formalizing the production of "Mr Trot" Season 2. 'Mr Trot' is a male Trot audition program broadcasted in 2020. It has been loved by various male Trot singer stars such as Lim Young-woong, Youngtak, Lee Chan Won, Kim Ho Joong, Jung Dong Won, Jang Min Ho and Kim Hee Jae.
In particular, 'Mr Trot' showed 35.711% of the final ratings (based on Nielsen Korea's nationwide paid households), and recorded the highest ratings among the previous general entertainment programs.
Thanks to this popularity, 'Mr Trot' Season 2 returns with a more powerful change. The prize money of the existing 100 million won has been raised to 500 million won, and it plans to provide a victory specialization differentiated from the existing audition through extraordinary treatment. Although the broadcasting company is scheduled to broadcast at the end of the year, the broadcasting company has not confirmed the specific timing of the programming.
On the other hand, MBN announced plans to broadcast a new male Trot audition program on the 4th. It is 'Burning Mr. Trotman' made by Inguinal with pd and Noh Yoon writer division who produced 'Mr Trot'.
'Burning Mr. Trotman' is a program produced by the Lea Studio, which was independently founded by Inguinal with pd, and broadcasts on MBN. As with 'Mr Trot' season 2, it will start recruiting participants from July, and broadcasting will start in November. As a result, the airing period may overlap with the 'Mr Trot' season 2, which is scheduled to be broadcasted at the end of the year.
Inguinal with pd is the original producer of Trot Audition Proram, which produced 'Mr. Trot' on TV shipbuilding and led to the success of 'Mr Trot'. As the production of 'Burning Mr. Trotman' became official, the original Trot audition channel and the confrontation with the original pd became a situation. In particular, 'Burning Mr. Trotman' is expected to become more hot in the confrontation between the two programs, announcing that existing Trot audition program performers can also support it.
Inguinal with pd said, "We will rescue the synergy strategy of changing the existing paradigm while supporting the autonomous activities of the Trot artists released through the audition," he said. "MBN and Lea Studio agreed to upgrade the paradigm of audition that succeeded in respect and win-win spirit."
In the meantime, 'Burning Mr. Trotman' will work with Showplay, who was the production company of 'Mr Trot' concert, to perform domestic and overseas concerts of 'Burning Mr. Trotman'. In the case of 'Mr Trot', the title of the program was kept, but it was necessary to renovate the main production team and to search for a new concert production company.
TV Chosun and Inguinal with pd, who produced a prominent Trot star called Lim Young-woong through 'Mr Trot'. However, as the channel and the production team are preparing for different male Trot auditions, applicants are also likely to worry about what programs to support.
In addition, it is also a matter of interest whether any audition of 'Mr Trot', which has a brand of existing brands, and 'Burning Mr. Trotman', which has a production team that has accumulated know-how, can laugh in terms of audience rating and topicality.
However, since the 'Mr Trot' hit, Trot audition programs have appeared on various channels, and the fatigue of viewers has increased somewhat. Both programs are a task to be solved before entering full-scale competition.
