These days’ entertainment shows that cause ‘anger’ [D: Broadcast View]

In addition to providing counseling on marriage life or various concerns of the general public, there are even programs that talk about specific topics, such as stories that make me angry or advice on human relationships. Viewers sympathize with my story and are sometimes angry with me.

MBC Every1’s entertainment program ‘I’m Angry Right Now’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘I’m Angry’), where MCs specializing in ‘anger’ such as Lee Kyung-gyu and Park Myung-soo gather to open an anger-out forum, invite guests to listen to their anger-inducing stories, and share know-how for expressing their anger. is meeting viewers.

MBC’s liberal arts program ‘Run away – Perfect Timing to cut ties with the devil’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Run away’), which talks about the difficulties in human relationships that everyone experiences, was organized into four parts and began airing for the first time on the 27th of last month.

Following various story entertainment programs that broadened consensus through the stories of the general public, such as ‘Oh Eun-young Report – Marriage Hell’, which counsels couples on their concerns, and the ‘High School Dad’ series, which contains the stories of teenage couples, the target audience is now narrowed down to specific topics. Efforts are continuing to bring out stories that are closer to reality.

In the latest episode of ‘Nahwana’, the National Ballet’s principal dancer Yoon Hye-jin and choreographer Bae Yoon-jung appeared and talked about the moment when they got angry at their husbands, and the MCs aroused viewers’ sympathy by talking about men’s perspectives. In ‘Run away’, the sense of reality was heightened through various stories or episodes about human relationships at work.

However, it is also true that only provocative stories such as anonymous revelations surrounding these programs become hot topics. In ‘Nahwana’, Bae Yoon-jung exposed an idol group that showed a careless attitude, and in ‘Run away’, announcer Kim Dae-ho exposed a senior member of MBC who frequently abused power.

Programs such as ‘Ask Anything’ or ‘Oh Eun-young Report – Marriage Hell’, which deal with the stories of ordinary people rather than celebrities, are not much different. As provocative stories that deviate from common sense are repeatedly reproduced online, and viewers’ anger explodes in the process, the topicality of these programs is naturally increasing. Ultimately, it is being pointed out that the goal of all programs of this nature is to increase topicality through provocative stories.

In particular, top MCs such as Yoo Jae-seok and Shin Dong-yeop have recently entered YouTube and are presenting talk programs, and their strength is to bring out comfortable fun by chatting with close friends in a light-hearted manner. Yoo Jae-seok’s ‘Excuse Go’ is receiving a lot of attention just by chatting for a long time with Jo Se-ho, Nam Chang-hee, Cha Tae-hyun, and Yoo Yeon-seok, and Shin Dong-yeop recently opened a YouTube channel called ‘Sweet Brother Shin Dong-yeop’ and invited Lee Hyo-ri to tell an honest story..

Rather, it is raising concerns that talk programs on TV, rather than YouTube, may be attracting attention with more provocative content. As YouTube talk shows, which record a high number of views just by gathering with close friends and chatting, are booming, TV platforms are also pursuing cost-effectiveness through talk programs with various concepts, but even this seems to be not working and is met with criticism.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is no meaning in sharing similar concerns with viewers through various stories and further presenting answers. However, it may be necessary to pay more attention to stories that cause anger by increasing the level of stimulation of the content to see if viewers’ anger is being used as the driving force of the program.
