MBC entertainment 'What do you do when you play?' The dropout members have been confirmed. Contrary to what was expected to be a major reorganization, it seems that only Jung Joon-ha and Shin Bong-seon were sent out. Coincidentally, these two members were the members of the controversy over discrimination in the 'Thank You Entertainment' project 3 months ago due to the missing amount. There are many responses that the actors remain and the comedians tilt their heads at the direction of the reorganization of 'What do you do when you play' that was released.
'What do you do when you play' will be reorganized from July. It has been less than a year since the group was reorganized into a 7-member system with Lee Yi-kyung and Park Jin-joo joining in September of last year. On the 5th, 'What are you doing when you play' revealed that Jung Joon-ha and Shin Bong-sun, who had been together for the past two years, had left and said, "Thank you for giving me a bright smile with all my heart."
Last month, when the news of the reorganization of 'What Do You Do When You Play' was first reported, it was known that along with Jung Joon-ha and Shin Bong-seon, Lee Yi-kyung and Park Jin-joo would also be leaving. It was said that PD Park Chang-hoon moved to CP to serve as a commanding tower and deploy a young production team.
However, what the 'What are you doing when you play' side decided after internal discussions was different. Lee Yi-kyung and Park Jin-ju did not get off, and PD Park Chang-hoon was assigned as a CP, but it was decided that he would completely get off from 'What Do You Do When You Play'. The main directors are Kim Jin-yong and Jang Woo-seong, who have worked together on 'What do you do when you play?'
In the end, 'What do you do when you play', which was a 7-member system, went back to a 5-member system. What has changed is that existing members Jung Joon-ha and Shin Bong-seon have left and new members Lee Yi-kyung and Park Jin-joo remain. Unfortunately, Jung Joon-ha and Shin Bong-seon were the only members who did not become trainees in the 'Thank You Entertainment' project, which aimed to debut in March with boy group One Top and female duo Juju Secret.
At that time, the roles that Jung Jun-ha and Shin Bong-seon played in the project were manager and chief, respectively. But the reality was far from it. Jung Joon-ha just watched the members practice the choreography and the amount disappeared, and Shin Bong-seon suddenly transformed into Dong-min's mother Bukkae and became the burden of cooking for the members.
Comedians Jung Jun-ha and Shin Bong-seon were used only as entertainment devices, and in a situation where only the actor/singer line was made the main group of the project, it was said that they were openly discriminating against members. On top of that, the decision to decide whether or not One Top and Shareholder Secret will be active through paid text voting was controversial and criticized.
Jung Joon-ha and Shin Bong-seon are the 'Plus' members recruited by Yoo Jae-suk, expressing his difficulties as a one-man system. Jung Joon-ha, whom he has worked with since 'Infinite Challenge', has been summoned to various projects from the beginning of 'What do you do when you play', and has been playing a licorice role. Shin Bong-sun, who worked with Yoo Jae-seok in 'Happy Together', has also been responsible for laughter with bold makeup. Haha, Lee Mi-joo, Park Jin-joo, and Lee Yi-kyung remain, but only the two of them get off the train.
'What do you do when you play' takes a break from broadcasting in the third and fourth weeks of June and has two weeks of reorganization time. Can 'What Do You Do When You Play', which faced a crisis when its viewer ratings dropped to 3% in 4 years, overcome the crisis with a new 5-member system? The public's gaze toward 'what do you do when you play', "I will come back with a stronger image", is still cold.
