Reporter Ryu Ye-ji and TenAsia sees the future of the entertainment industry and its impact.
Who will laugh at this year's MBC Entertainment Awards? Until the first half of 2023, Gian 84 is the most likely. If last year was Jeon Hyun-moo, this time it is Gian 84 no matter what anyone says.
Kian 84 is working hard as a filial son, leading MBC's representative programs such as 'I live alone' and 'Around the world while I was born' (hereinafter referred to as 'Taegye 2'). These days, he is called the son of MBC and captured both ratings and buzz.
In particular, it is worth paying attention to his performance in 'Circle of the World 2'. 'Taegye 2' depicts Gian 84 leaving for India and taking on new challenges and adventures. It is a trip with Dex and Pannibottle, but Gian 84 stands at the center. He is the performer who best represents his raw charm.
In fact, the image of India has not been very positive. The problem of sexual violence is so serious, and water quality and air pollution are so serious that it was considered a country with a bad impression. However, Gian 84 had no such prejudice. The pure heart of wanting to become one with India and share thoughts and feelings beyond the culture of its people was conveyed intact.
Gian 84 in India was a pure traveler. From the first meal, I was satisfied with myself by eating rice with my hands. All of his hands were covered with fried rice oil and vegetables, but he respected the Indian way, saying, "There was no spoon, so asking for a spoon there didn't seem to respect the culture." In the 'Mother's River', 'the river where life and death coexist', I threw my whole body and tasted the sacredness. I felt that I had come to India by swimming with children and drinking water myself.
When I went to the crematorium, I realized that I should live without regrets since I was born. I felt a lot of emotions when I saw a handful of ashes in 3 hours. It was a serious and calm look that was not easily seen in the quirky yet lively Kian 84.
On the other hand, the devastated appearance of stepping on cow dung on the way to leave the crematorium brought laughter again. Even without PD's directing, Gian 84 made another laugh through the forced cut conversion, and it seemed that the entertainment god was given down.
Even after that, he met Dex and had a wrestling match with Indian players, and he seemed to have adapted perfectly to the local area, such as giving snacks to monkeys on the roadside. In addition, he was invited to the wedding of Indian friends he met on a boat in Varanasi, and showed a scene where he enjoyed the scene more excitedly than anyone else. In fact, Kian 84 heated up the dance stage in the wedding ceremony and showed off his cute charm.
At the same time, it even made a funny situation with the appearance of 'good customer = Hogu'. Gian 84 and Dex, who received the massage, had to use dumping while receiving services from a total of 9 people. Massage therapists extort money from Gian 84 by demanding excessive tips. However, it was Gian 84 who brushed it off with an expression of 'It could be'.
Kian 84's sense of entertainment continued in 'I Live Alone'. He rode his bike to a motel and spent time alone eating chueotang. Sitting on the floor and drinking alcohol, he added a look as if he became the main character of an independent film. At the karaoke room, he was so emotional that he shed tears and even created a faint image.
Kian 84, which is showing amazing performances in 'Thailand 2' and 'I Live Alone', recently ranked first in the topical non-drama/series category of TV-OTT integrated performers (provided by Good Data Corporation's official platform service FUNdex), It proves its hot popularity.
Recently, voices such as "I want to live like Kian 84", "Kian 84 is a role model in life" and "Life is like Kian 84" are heard here and there. Isn't that the story that Gian 84 is loved for his easy-going and pure charm? I wonder if he will be able to enjoy the honor of receiving the grand prize this time after attending his first entertainment grand prize six years ago wearing a suit Jeon Hyun-moo bought him. No matter what anyone says, it is unparalleled as a candidate for this year's grand prize.
