‘Today’s story that is open and harsh’. Reporter Kim Ji-won of Ten Asia harshly criticizes entertainment and broadcasting industry issues from a difficult perspective.
Everyone knows that a certain amount of directing goes into broadcasting. However, it is difficult for viewers to turn a blind eye to exaggerated productions disguised as reality. The appearance of Lee Yong-sik and his daughter Lee Soo-min on TV Chosun's 'Joseon's Lover' and the appearance of father and daughter on YouTube are very different.
The couple Lee Su-min and Won Hyuk joined TV Chosun's 'Joseon's Lover' on January 23rd. Lee Su-min's father Yong-sik Lee is against his daughter's marriage. In the recent broadcast on the 6th, Lee Yong-sik and Won Hyuk met for the first time.
Yong-sik Lee has always refused to meet with Won-hyuk. The reason Lee Yong-sik is against their marriage is because he loves his daughter so much that he cannot marry her off yet. On this day's broadcast, four people, Lee Yong-sik and Lee Su-min, met. A heavy silence continued between Lee Yong-sik and Won-hyuk. A careful conversation took place, and Lee Yong-sik and Won-hyuk glanced at each other to explore. Lee Soo-min also watched the two people.
As the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Lee Yong-sik again expressed his discomfort, saying, "If you know too much at once, you'll get hurt." In response, Wonhyuk said, “I will approach you slowly.” Lee Yong-sik tried to hide his embarrassment, saying, “Please contact me and come.” Su-min Lee said, “Next time, let’s all four eat together,” but Yong-sik Lee said meaningfully, “Today is the last day.”
Previously, Wonhyuk revealed that he participated in TV Chosun's Trot Audition 'Mr. Trot 2' to persuade his father-in-law who was opposed to marrying his girlfriend. Won-hyuk revealed that he was dating Lee Yong-sik's daughter Lee Su-min, saying, "I came here to protect the woman I love. My girlfriend's father does not give me permission to marry." Wonhyuk received all hearts for his passionate performance. Wonhyuk succeeded in advancing to the finals in ‘Mr. Trot 2’ but was eliminated in the team mission. However, thanks to the sobbing stage, Wonhyuk, an unknown singer, became a hot topic.
What Wonhyuk gained from ‘Mr. Trot 2’ was not only fame but also the image of a lover. Afterwards, Won-hyuk and his girlfriend Lee Soo-min immediately became regular cast members on 'Joseon's Lover', and are showing viewers the process of getting permission to marry Lee Yong-sik. This is why viewers are saying that the purpose of Wonhyuk's appearance on 'Mr. Trot 2' was not to make his name known as a trot singer, but to marry Lee Su-min and have Yong-sik Lee as his father-in-law.
In 'Joseon's Lover', there is conflict and tension between Lee Yong-sik, Lee Su-min, and Won-hyuk due to marriage issues. However, Lee Yong-sik and Lee Su-min's father and daughter appear differently on Lee Yong-sik's daughter Lee Su-min's YouTube channel 'Apo TV'. They are a close relationship between father and daughter who appear to have no conflict at all.
Lee Soo-min and Lee Yong-sik are conducting the 'Lee Yong-sik Longevity Project', a live broadcast of Lee Yong-sik's movement. In a recent live broadcast, the two boasted about their good relationship as father and daughter. When Su-min Lee asked viewers, “What if you click ‘Like’ a lot?” Yong-sik Lee chimed in, saying, “It’s so good.” In addition, Su-min Lee said, "With the YouTube algorithm, our labang can rise to the top, giving my dad more strength to exercise. If a lot of people come in, my dad has no choice but to exercise for a long time." He added, "As the number of 'likes' increases, the lifespan of Lee Yong-sik increases." “It will increase. Please click ‘Like’,” he asked. Viewers were worried about the noise between floors when they saw Lee Yong-sik working out on exercise equipment while playing a song loudly, and the father and daughter dancing excitedly to the song. However, the father and daughter danced and played more happily, saying, “There is no noise between floors at all.”
In addition, the names of the viewers who sent donations were called out one by one. Lee Soo-min also said, "They sent me such a large amount of money to tell me to work hard and exercise. Thank you," and "Today, a lot of Super Chat (donations) were sent. I think it's because my dad doesn't exercise." At the end of the labang, I asked for likes, subscriptions, and notifications like any other YouTuber.
Lee Yong-sik's father and daughter's appearance is completely different from the broadcast, making it feel different. Wonhyuk appears on a broadcast to ask his girlfriend's father for permission to marry him, Wonhyuk, Lee Su-min and Lee Yong-sik become regulars on entertainment shows after becoming famous, and even Lee Yong-sik's father and daughter try to increase subscribers by emphasizing their closeness on personal live broadcasts. This is why the authenticity of the appearances in the broadcast is questioned.
A father and daughter who are in conflict between entertainment and reality. Viewers also laugh at the directing added to entertain the entertainment. If it goes too far, viewers will feel ridiculed.
