On the 25th, domestic OTT platform Wave held the '2023 Wave Content Lineup Briefing' at the Conrad Seoul Hotel.
Contents such as the entertainment show 'Blood Game 2', the original dramas 'Park Ha-kyung's Travels' and 'Deal', and the original movies 'Deadman' and 'Brave Citizen' were introduced.
Announcer Park Ji-min, who is also a cast member of 'Bloody Game 2', hosted the event on this day. When the cast members of 'Blood Game 2' whom she was close friends with appeared, Park Ji-min said, "Everyone is fine." In addition, he did not hesitate to use profanity such as 'squeaking' and 'pulling out the mulberry'. When Dex talks about love lines, he speaks informally by saying, “(Love line) is that you?”
In particular, when a reporter asked contestant Pi about the controversy related to the web entertainment show 'Money Game', Park Ji-min blocked the question by saying, "You don't have to answer."
After all the events were over, Park Ji-min said, "It was my first time hosting a production presentation, and I think I was excited to meet a player I was close to in 'Game of Blood 2'. I apologize for my “I think I was excited because I received a lot of negative comments,” he explained.
Regardless of the fact that announcer Park Ji-min is close to the cast, it is clear that he said and did something that was not appropriate for an official event. His careless attitude became a problem, and most reactions were, “Are you an announcer?”, “No matter how close you are…” ”, “The informal language and profanity was harsh.”
'Bloody Game 2' is a survival entertainment show in which the physically strongest compete over 'will they hunt or be hunted?' Producer Hyun Jeong-wan directed it, and Hong Jin-ho, Ha Seung-jin, Fujii Mina, Park Ji-min, Hyun Seong-joo, Nox, Yurisa, Yunbi, Seo Chul-gu, Pai, Kerrigan May, Dex, Lee Jin-hyung, and Shin Hyun-ji appeared.
