'Blood Game 2' PD "Hong Jin-ho, 'Doenjang' in 'Doenjang Stew'... Affection for second place rather than first place"
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.
Regarding the elaborately designed game, PD Hyeon Jeong-wan explained, "I consulted with the game company. Also, there is a PD who likes games, and I entrusted it to him." "Finally, we simulated and chose what we thought would be fun," he said. "However, no matter how much simulation we tried, it was different from players risking their lives. It was solved in a completely different way from simulation. I sometimes worry about how to simulate in the future." said.
In the recently released 7th and 8th episodes, a 'ghost player' appeared and surprised viewers. Lee Jin-hyung, who was released by Seo Exit-gu, the winner of the Money Challenge, was shocked and terrified when he found Park Ji-min, a dropout who appeared as a ghost player in the newly opened ghost casino.
Producer Hyun Jeong-wan said, "Actually, I don't like first place that much. When the team I was rooting for won the championship, I lost interest a little. That's why I always liked second place Hong Jin-ho. How unfair it is to lose through bad luck or a single mistake. That's why we made jokes among ourselves. The sound of 'I can't leave this world and keep playing the game' was reflected in the game. I thought it would be nice if there was an opportunity to show it one more time."
Regarding the participants, "Unlike Season 1, Season 2 formed a coalition from the first day, tried to deceive each other, and a minority coalition formed within the coalition. I don't think he would have done better if he had appeared in season 1. Seo Chul-gu is immersed in the game well. When monitoring Hyun Seong-joo, the amount of other filming was so vast that I didn't know it well, but later I found out that he was a cool person." showed affection. Regarding Hong Jin-ho, he said, “He is the one who makes soybean paste taste in soybean paste stew. When asked to pick his favorite character, he replied, "It's too hard to pick just one. I say that the person who fell out every episode is my favorite."
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.
