TenAsia reporter Ryu Ye-ji takes a proper look at the entertainment industry incidents and accidents that are attracting the most attention.

tvN's new entertainment show 'Busan Country Boy in Sydney' is suffering from a setback even before its departure. This is because tvN took the unusual step of not holding a production presentation again following last year's drama 'Eve'.

‘Busan Country Boy in Sydney’ starring Ahn Bo-hyun, Heo Seong-tae, Lee Si-eon, and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin) is a new program that airs at 10:50 pm on the 23rd. However, the production presentation was not held before the first broadcast, so proper promotion was not possible.

Regarding the reason for not holding the production presentation, tvN explained, "There were difficulties in coordinating the schedule as the members' schedules did not match each other." Coordination may be difficult as the films being filmed are different, but it is unusual for the production presentation itself to not be held.

The production presentation is an event where the production team and cast introduce the program before the first broadcast. It is very unusual for a broadcasting company or production company to not hold a production presentation because it is an opportunity to promote a work to reporters.

Because of this, the cast lost the opportunity to meet viewers from the beginning. Some point out that the officially known members' schedules are not at a level where coordination is impossible.

Ahn Bo-hyun will begin filming Netflix's 'Chaebol X Detective' starting next month. You can put a lot of effort into preparing your character before the first filming, but you can still attend the production presentation. Heo Seong-tae recently finished the Coupang Play original series ‘Bait’. Not long ago, he actively publicized his work by conducting interviews with reporters. Lee Si-eon and Kwak Tube have appeared on various entertainment programs with their unique eloquence.

All four people are steadily gaining popularity due to their extraordinary star quality. However, even with a busy schedule, you can still attend the production presentation. If the scheduled time is not right, you can just hold a pre-recorded online production presentation. This is because an offline production presentation is not required.

However, the broadcasting company did not even show sincerity in preparing an online production presentation. Because of this, it became impossible for cast members to promote the show by talking about filming episodes, chemistry between each other, etc.

tvN made similar moves a year ago. Not only did the production presentation for the drama 'Eve' starring actress Seo Ye-ji fail, but its first broadcast was also postponed. That's 5 days before the broadcast.

At the time, tvN said, “Due to the filming schedule, including post-production work, we were unable to hold the ‘Eve’ production presentation. He was busy coming up with inexplicable excuses, saying, “In order to improve the perfection of the play, we had to postpone the programming.”

The problem of sudden programming changes also applied to tvN's 'Now Follow Me'. There was also a change in the programming of this broadcast just before its first broadcast. The first broadcast date was changed from a solo broadcast on tvN STORY to a simultaneous broadcast on tvN STORY and tvN.

Accordingly, the previously scheduled online production presentation was also postponed indefinitely. At the time, tvN sent a notification email to reporters 18 hours before the event started.

In one year, tvN gave up the opportunity to meet the public three times. Due to the series of production presentation disruptions and rubber band scheduling, the cast members also lost the opportunity to meet viewers.

They may have judged that the promotional effect of the production presentation itself was not significant. There is some truth in protesting that this is a change due to a change in the media consumption environment. However, the production presentation is the first greeting to viewers. This is why some point out that regardless of the effect, it is a basic courtesy to viewers. It was called Sotamdaesil. The broadcasting industry is looking at tvN with concern.
