Controversy over 'Money Game' revelation Pi appeared in 'Blood Game 2'

Internet broadcaster Pi gathered his courage and announced that he had decided to appear in 'Blood Game 2'.

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 'Bloody Game 2', the original dramas 'Park Ha-kyung's Travels' and 'Deal', and the original movies 'Deadman' and 'Brave Citizen' were introduced.

'Bloody Game 2', which will be released on the 28th, 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.

Producer Hyun Jeong-wan said, “The criteria for recruiting was to recruit people who are the best in each field, people who have won or are likely to be active even if they did not win, and people who are attractive when recruiting and interviewing . Although there was a lot of controversy when Mr. Pai was doing 'Money Game', he wanted to select a person who represented the program. “The same goes for Seo Chul-gu, even though he didn't win 'Penthouse,'” he explained.

Internet broadcaster Pai said, “I played like that because I wanted to show people that I am different, whether good or bad.” Pai said, “Even though 'Money Game' has been around for 2-3 years, there are still many people who view me unfavorably. In it, I am fully reflecting on my wrong or controversial actions. One thing I regret is that I thought about how great it would have been if I had the opportunity to show a more diverse and better side of myself while hosting a broadcast for 10 years. Meanwhile, Producer Hyun Jeong-wan of 'Bloody Game 2' asked me if I should try survival again. I wondered what I would do if I went out and my bad image was further imprinted on me, but I mustered up the courage to come out. “I didn't do anything good, but please look at me kindly,” he asked.

Pai, who appeared on the web entertainment show 'Money Game' in 2021, has been criticized for abuse of power and exposing cast members.
