Special masters who define the quality of a star.
Every time K-pop artists release new songs, they keep an eye on these people.
The ones who are leading and creating the latest trends...
Creators and influencers.
These days, the K-pop market is heavily influenced by creators and influencers.
That's why they invited influencers as special judges
1st row, L-R: Im Wooil (670K followers), Rian (150K followers), GeniusSKLee (460K followers), Top Student Jeonil-ie (190K followers)
2nd row, L-R: Lee Shinhyuk (80K followers), Kinky (30K followers), Chuther (1.5 M followers), Brick Grandpa (580K followers)
(I didn’t include Mimi and Gangnam since they’re pretty well-known already!)
How many of these people do you know?!!
Except for Lee Shinhyuk, I know them allㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I can't believe I'm seeing Brick Grandpa in this show...
-Leading K-pop? What exactly are they doing for K-pop?
-I don't watch Youtube.. So I'm not sure if these people are really leading the trends.
-I only know that Rian and Kinky are dancers (I just know their names, though)
-I don't know any of them.
-I know that Im Wooil is a KBS comedian, and I know Rian and Kinky from Street Woman Fighter and Street Man Fighter.
-I know some of them, but unless they're dancers, what do they have to do with K-pop?
-This is my first time seeing all of them...
-I only saw Brick Grandfather's shorts once, and I recognized him because he was unique... Otherwise, I wouldn't know any of them...
-Influencers prefer songs that can be used for TikTok or Reels.
-This show keeps trying to gain attention.
-Who are all these people?
-No wonder why JYP groups' recent performance hasn't been good if this is the way they manage things.
-What do creators have to do with K-pop?
