After the Korean national producer program "Produce101" was popular in most of South Korea the year before, the Korean national television station KBS was eager to prepare for 2 years and launched a new talent show "The unit".
KBS claims that this is a large-scale talent show to save singers who have debuted for a long time but have no popular groups or solos. But in fact, the final debut of the group is not as popular as the original ioi squad throughout the entertainment circle, many melon-eating masses said that even the name of this limited group is not clear, let alone the members inside. Kbs obviously has a good resource but has not seen how they advertise their own limited combinations.
Let Pei Qi introduce you to this talent show with a story.
The judges invited by the "the unit" program are all very famous people in the Korean circle. World superstar rain, sexy solo singer Hyun Ya, famous singer Huang Zhilie, sm dance genius Lee Tae-min, Cho Hyun Ya, hip-hop singer San E, from the referee lineup alone, KBS really threw money at this talent show. But KBS obviously has a good hand of cards, but it is not easy to use, and the show does not follow the normal draft style at the beginning, opening up the rhythm of sensationalism. In the preview of the show, there is a picture of Taimin crying with his back to the camera, and the hearts of fans who can't help themselves from watching Taimin cry will be broken.
It turned out that in the show, Taimin met his good friend Wen Kui who grew up with him, Wen Kui and Tai Min were originally sm trainees, but because Tai Min was arranged by the company to debut first and Wen Kui has been practicing as a trainee, Soon after Tai Min's debut, Wen Kui left sm as a member of the hotshot group. The hotshot group has been tepid, so this time the company sent Wenkui to participate in the show, hoping to improve some visibility. Many fans saw the distressed message after seeing it, saying that it was a pity to let Wen Kui debut, and it was really a pity that such a good love bean was not red.
The first trailer of "The Unit" attracted the attention of many kimchi network names by relying on the clip of Taimin's encounter with his friends when he was a teenager, and kbs then threw out the bullying incident of Li Yalin, a former member of t-ara, who originally left the group in an attempt to attract another wave of ratings. In the backstage interview, Li Yalin said that the original combination of discord was just a netizen's capture of the wind, a combination is like a family, everyone will quarrel with the family, and there is no such serious quarrel as others say, just a small quarrel. And at that time, everyone was small, did not understand things and did not know how to deal with contradictions, in fact, the members' sisters had an apology after the quarrel. And at the beginning, she herself had social phobia, because she was psychologically unsuitable and also received psychological treatment, which may have led to her finally choosing to quit the group to rest because of poor communication problems.
In addition to taking these things to attract the attention of netizens, the editing of the program is also very speechless. Netizens called kbs clips blind clips. In fact, kbs video editing problems are not once or twice, every time the song war or the song stage when the TV station always likes to cut the camera to the audience, even when the song highlights do not cut the members, fans said that they are not strange. The editing of this talent show is also, a fiercely competitive talent show cut into an angel-like warm program, the original program should have a sense of competition, although the cruel reality hindered the pace of pursuing dreams but still backwaters a battle of trust, after the program editing always feel that there is a lack of positive energy to encourage teenagers to pursue their dreams.
As for why the company put its own artists to participate in the unit program, there are many different versions of gossip circulating on the Internet. Some agents revealed that although KBS does not have a mandatory requirement for small companies to send artists to participate in the show, the invisible pressure of KBS still makes many small companies feel uneasy. After all, KBS is also a big song stage, and offending this TV station is undoubtedly a self-defeating road for some small companies, and their artist groups will lose some of the exposure opportunities. Many of the artists who participate in the "the unit" program are basically active idols, and their qualifications are different, some are love beans with several years of acting experience, and some are members of the newcomer group who have just debuted for less than 3 months. The difference in the qualifications of the artists participating in the talent show can't help but make people wonder that the threshold for this show is inevitably too low. However, some companies send their own artists to the mood of holding a dead horse as a live horse doctor, because on this program can improve the exposure of their own company and artist combinations, plus it is a combination of national television, if you are selected to debut again, it will definitely be much better than touching the fish in the muddy waters of your own company. However, basically the active love beans who were sent to the service were rejected in their hearts, because participating in the draft is likely to destroy their previous idol image, if they have not yet entered the final debut list, they may also be sprayed by black powder that there is no strength and no bright spots, and they will definitely not debut, and what drafts they will participate in. And the active love beans are basically from a young age as a trainee, it is difficult to be a trainee for more than ten years to survive to debut, and then sent to the past draft to experience as a trainee again, experience the confusion of not knowing whether to debut in the future, this uncomfortable feeling is estimated that no active love beans want to experience it again. There are also some sols singing, allowing them to experience group life, and whether they can adapt to it is also a problem. At present, the temporary group will also face different companies belonging to each artist, different artists' itineraries, short debut time and various interests, which often limit the development of a group. I hope KBS can treat these artists they have chosen well.
In the end, the program selected 9 members of the men's team and the women's team to debut. The women's team consists of Hong Yizhen, Bai Yubin, nc.a, Shin Yoon-joo, Lee Hyun-joo, Yang Zhiyuan, Bae You-hee, ZN, Lee Xiu-chi and other 9 unit g. The men's team consists of 9 members, including Lee Joon Young, Lee Yi Jin, Ko Eun Ting, Oh Kwang Suk, Marco, Ji Han Li, Park Dae Won, Kim Ki Jung, chan and other 9 members.
The male team personnel are actually very confused, the original in the show is very powerful very popular 4 gold, Kim Dong-hyun, Jin Luxian, Kim Shi-jong, Kim Wen-kyu, as a Buddhist youth do not compete, do not grab the lens resources and c position results to eliminate themselves. Many powerful male team alternate lead singers have also been inexplicably eliminated, and as a result, the male team debut configuration does not have a lead singer, which is to take the rhythm of the full rap. In contrast, the girls' team is much better, one by one, there is a face and strength to circle fans in minutes. The debut song of the women's team is also very good, but unfortunately, it is obvious that you can rely on the reggae wind to become popular KBS but force the little sisters to take the sexy wind, kbs before they banned other women's group dance moves can not be too excessive, the result of their own women's group dance minutes to hit the face countless times.
The debut song "No more" is very good to listen to, and it is particularly conspicuous in the pure girl group that is now pure. And the first time the stage girls expensive song costumes also attracted the attention of countless people, KBS is not a loss is KBS to take so expensive clothes to the little sister to dance, such expensive clothes on rainy days when dancing also moped the floor.
In the end, I still hope that unit g and unit b can develop well, and when the temporary group is disbanded, the members can become popular when they return to their original team.
