MBC's entertainment show 'What Do You Do When You Hang Out?' is undergoing a surprise reorganization.
9th 'What do you do when you play?' The side said, “There are plans to reorganize the program in June due to a change in production staff,” and added, “The issue of member departures is currently under internal discussion, so we will announce an official position as soon as it is resolved.”
Earlier on this day, Sports Seoul hosted the 'What do you do when you play?' It was reported that among the members, excluding Haha and Lee Mi-joo, Jeong Jun-ha, Shin Bong-seon, Lee Yi-kyung, and Park Jin-ju are leaving the show. Producer Park Chang-hoon, who is currently leading 'What Do You Do When You Play?', said he plans to move to CP and assign young directing staff.
‘What do you do when you hang out?’ is an entertainment show started by PD Kim Tae-ho, who led ‘Infinite Challenge’, and Yoo Jae-seok, and it received a lot of love for its various ‘sub-character’ projects. Music projects such as Yoo Sanseul, Ssak3, and Refund Expedition also attracted a lot of attention.
However, after PD Kim Tae-ho left the show, 'What Do You Do When You Hang Out' expanded from a one-person system to a five-person system and then a seven-member system, but was criticized for the lack of capacity of the production team, including duplication of similar formats and controversy over member discrimination. The viewership rating has also fallen to the 4% range and is experiencing a slump.
