South Korea's well-known talent show "Produce" series of counterfeit storms are still fermenting. The company of south Korean 12-member girl group IZONE announced on the 7th that the release of IZON's debut album and debut stage performance, which was scheduled for the 11th of this month, will be postponed. South Korea's JTBC TELEVISION variety show "Love Bean Room" also said on the same day, "The part starred by IZONE has been recorded, and whether it will be broadcast or not will depend on the results of future police investigations." ”
In August last year, IZON debuted through the Korean talent show "Produce48", which consists of 3 Japanese members and 9 Korean members, and has a high popularity in Japan and South Korea. However, due to the suspected manipulation of votes by the show, the group's performing arts activities are currently affected. The variety shows such as "My Little TV 2" and "Prisoner Is You 2" starring the group said on the 7th that "it is discussing whether to broadcast it." In addition, a petition titled "Please ban the counterfeiting groups X1 and IZONE from starring" appeared on the official website of the National Petition of the Blue House of South Korea. According to the article, An Junying admitted to accepting bribes and falsifying variety shows to fool the audience of the show, which is no different from employment fraud and employment fraud in society, so they cannot continue their acting activities.
"Produce" series producer An Junying admitted on the 6th that he manipulated votes during the recording of "Produce48" and "Produce X 101". South Korea's "8news" said that Ahn Joon-young was suspected of changing the ranking of contestants by manipulating votes to make an artist from a specific agency debut, and he was arrested by the South Korean police along with kim Yong-bum, the show's executive producer, who was arrested by the South Korean police.
The related South Korean Starship Entertainment Company is also under police investigation, and members of the company's well-known idol group MONSTER X, which is popular, are also caught in scandals such as private life chaos and group withdrawal. MONSTER X core team member Won Ho (Shin Ho Seok) terminated his contract with the company due to debt disputes and exposure to marijuana smoking; After captain Shownu (Sun Xuanyu) was revealed to have problems in his private life, the company also came forward to defend him.
South Korea's YTN TV said that scandals such as counterfeiting will have a significant impact on the future development of South Korean talent shows. According to Yonhap News Agency, in recent years, many talent shows in South Korea have attracted a large number of audiences by "personally sending contestants to debut", but while focusing on improving their own influence, talent shows also need to constantly innovate in the theme and serve the spread of Hallyu culture.
