On May 13th, the 57th Baeksang Art Awards ceremony was held. With his outstanding performance in "What to Do Idle", Liu Zaishi once again won the TV part of the award.
This is also after 13 years, Liu Zaishi once again won the Baixiang Award, and he also became the first variety artist to win two Baixiang Awards. However, when Liu Zaishi received the award, the reaction of the guests in the audience caused people to discuss.
Because it is necessary to meet the requirements of strict control of the epidemic, the guests in the audience are sitting at a distance of one meter. When Liu Zaishi was announced to have won the award, several people sitting around him stood up to congratulate him, which was also a common scene at the award ceremony. When Liu Zaishi walked to the stage, the sparse applause from the audience revealed his disdain.
Although Liu Jae-seok has the title of "Great God" in South Korea, he is known as the "National MC". But as we all know, the Korean entertainment industry has a distinct hierarchy, that is, movie actors> TV drama actors> singers> idols> variety artists> funny artists.
So even though Yoo Jae-seok is the first variety artist to win two Hundred Wants Awards, this still can't change his status in the Korean entertainment industry. This is why when he went on stage to receive the award, the reaction of the people in the audience was not so enthusiastic.
Seeing the scene of Liu Jae-seok receiving the award, I can't help but think of Lee Kwang-so, who just announced that he was going to quit "running man" not long ago. At that time, Lee Kwang-so's brokerage company gave the reason for the withdrawal that Lee Kwang-so had a leg injury due to a car accident last year, for which he had been undergoing treatment. However, the recording of "Running Man" may affect his recovery from injuries, so he made a difficult exit decision.
But friends who have been watching "Running Man" should know that Lee Kwang-so has never admitted that he is a variety artist, and he always feels that he is an actor. No matter what Liu Jae-seok said about him, this is something that Lee Kwang-so has always insisted on.
In fact, this is not to blame Lee Kwang-so, I think the reason given by Song Joong-ki when he left "Running Man" was to concentrate on being an actor. It's not just about status, it's about income, which is the opposite of what is going on in our country.
In the Korean entertainment industry, the income of artists is also directly proportional to their status and fame. As a variety artist and funny artist at the bottom of the entertainment industry, their income is actually very low, and many people have to do part-time jobs such as food delivery to support themselves while performing.
And many of our domestic stars are very keen to appear in variety shows, because making money is fast and easy, and there is no need to work hard like an actor.
In fact, if you think about it, the ranking of the Korean entertainment industry still has a certain reason, and their remuneration and so on are also reasonable. If our entertainment industry can be like them, there will be no Zheng Shuang's daily salary of 2 million.
