'Game of Blood 2' PD "Seungjin Ha vs.
On the 31st, at the Post Tower in Yeouido-dong, Seoul, I met PD Hyun Jeong-wan, who directed Wave's original variety show 'Game of Blood 2'.
'Blood Game 2' is a survival survival entertainment show in which the physically strongest players decide whether to 'hunt or be hunted'. Directed by Hyun Jeong-wan, producer Hong Jin-ho, Ha Seung-jin, Fujii Mina, Park Ji-min, Hyeon Seong-joo, Nux, Yurisa, Yunbi, Seo Cul-gu, Pai, Kerrigan May, Dex, Lee Jin-hyung, and Shin Hyun-ji participated as players.
Players immersed in the game curse at each other and fight. When Dex broke the symbol of the mansion, Ha Seung-jin, who was guarding the symbol, rushed at Dex, saying, "It was a snake." In response, Dex replied, "Don't tell me to do this and that," creating a bloody atmosphere. Viewers responded that Ha Seung-jin's response was excessive because Dex's actions were to win the game.
PD Hyeon Jeong-wan said, "If it had been on TV, it wouldn't have gone out and, of course, I would have edited it. Isn't this program paid content? We have to provide value,” he said. He continued, "I deliberately released the scene in the preview. After foreshadowing that this kind of scene will come out, I leave it to the viewers to accept or not. Those who hate it and hate it will skip it, and those who want it will watch it. I didn't bother to cut it out. I showed the trailer hard and said, 'This content is rough. If you are uncomfortable, please avoid it.'"
Regarding the atmosphere at the scene at the time, he said, "I was worried at the site because the participants were in a bad mood and might go out saying 'I can't do it'. He also said, "The production team tried not to intervene as much as possible. In fact, the fight ended briefly. What was shown on the screen is almost real-time.
According to the TV-OTT integrated non-drama topicality index for the 3rd week of May announced by Good Data Corporation, the ranking of 'Blood Game 2' rose one notch from last week, rising from 2nd to 1st. In addition, it is setting a new record for all-time wave original entertainment by maintaining the No. 1 position in new paid subscription content in Wave.
