Seo Ye-jin, a reporter for Ten Asia, looks at the state of the entertainment industry. Like the light that spreads out in various ways through a prism, I will tell the story behind the issue.
“Kim Jun-ho, isn’t he a divorced person?”
Heo Young-man’s rude remarks went up on the board. This is because of the questions related to personal life that were posed to Kim Ji-min in TV Chosun’s ‘Baekban Journey of Heo Young-man’ (hereafter ‘Baekban Journey’). Along with the divorce of his lover Jun-ho Kim, his demeaning words and actions made some viewers uncomfortable.
Kim Ji-min appeared as a special guest in ‘Baekban Journey’, which aired on the 15th. As soon as he met Jimin Kim on this day, Youngman Heo asked, “How are you, Jun-ho Kim?” and “How is it with Jun-ho Kim?” Kim Ji-min said, “Originally, when you go on a variety show, you ask about halfway through, but (here) asks from the beginning. There wouldn’t be,” he said perplexed.
Heo Young-man continued to ask questions related to Kim Jun-ho. He also asked, “Since when did you look like a man?” Jimin Kim answered honestly, “I like people who work. People who work hard. At some point, you look cool. Aren’t you handsome?”
In addition, he answered the reason why he felt Kim Jun-ho as a man. Kim Ji-min said, “I like men who work hard, and at some point, Kim Jun-ho’s work began to look cool.” Heo Young-man also threw a fastball, saying, “Isn’t there something in the eye?”
Heo Young-man said, “Isn’t (Kim Jun-ho) a divorced person?” Then Jimin Kim was embarrassed, saying, “It’s a taboo word.” Then, “We joked, ‘If we want to be similar, I say that I will come back once. When I go, it seems like they will be in their 60s or 70s.”
It is true that Heo Young-man’s attitude was rude in their conversation. However, his ‘rude question’ is mostly related to the episodes Kim Ji-min and Kim Jun-ho directly revealed through various entertainment programs.
Kim Jun-ho and Kim Ji-min are revealing their love stories in various entertainment programs at the same time as their public devotees. This is because, after the public devotees, interest in these couples grew hot, and love calls poured in from various entertainment programs.
SBS ‘Shoes off, Stone for Man’, MBN ENA PLAY ‘Cance, not a vacation’, SBS ‘My Little Old Boy’, tvN ‘Amazing Saturday’, SBS Plus ‘Open Run’, tvN ‘Six Sense 3’, etc. ‘trend’ He is active in entertainment programs.
However, the appearance of the two people reflected in the entertainment is focused only on love. It starts with a love story such as a confession process before dating, and is woven into a very private love story such as divorce, skinship, and breakup crisis.
The reason that their private lives were used as entertainment material to make them lighter is in the structure that emphasizes ‘real’. This is because it requires honesty for topicality under the name of ‘real observation entertainment’. The story of Kim Jun-ho’s smell of rotten shells, Kim Ji-min’s refusal to touch him, and the scene where the pain of her divorce is consumed with laughter, etc., make their romance infinitely light.
It cannot be denied that Heo Young-man was rude to Kim Ji-min. However, it is also necessary to examine the process through which his remarks were broadcast. For the cast to take on all the responsibilities, the intention of the production team to keep the expected viewership ratings for the newly born comedian couple is hidden.
