The ‘Burning Trotman’ who created the ‘push’ rumor towards Hwang Young-woong

The tight security of the production team of MBN's 'Burning Trotman' is creating 'rumors' about the cast out of nowhere.

As a result of Ten Asia's coverage on the 18th, it was revealed that performer Hwang Young-woong was close to judge Jo Jo Jo, former head of the agency. Currently, Jo Hang-jo is active as a judge on 'Burning Trotman', and Hwang Young-woong is a person who has emerged as a candidate for the championship, taking first place in both the first and second rounds of the 'People's Support Vote' in the same program.

It is known that Jo Jo Jo's former agency, CEO A of Woori Planning, handed over Hwang Young-woong's number to the production team when 'Flaming Trotman' was conducting an audition. Rumor has it that Ulsan-born Hwang Young-woong's agency was located in a rural area and did not know how to participate in the audition, so they personally 'connected' him to the production team.

Was it because CEO A came forward and recommended Hwang Young-woong to the production team? There were rumors that Hwang Young-woong was in the same agency as Jo Jo Jo-jo. In addition, suspicions were raised that Cho Jo Jo was a key judge of 'Burning Trotman' and may have supported Hwang Young-woong.

Regarding this, we inquired with MBN and Crea Studio, the production company of 'Burning Trotman', but they only said, "Hwang Young-woong's agency cannot be revealed for the sake of protecting the performer. All that can be disclosed is that the company is 'a very small place located in the countryside.'" .

If Hwang Young-woong and Jo Jo Jo are not from the same agency, it is enough to reveal the exact name of the agency. However, the production team's secret to Hwang Young-woong's agency as 'top secret' is actually spreading rumors. An honest explanation is needed from the production team of 'Burning Trotman' in order to avoid creating unnecessary speculation about the cast.
