-She sounds really amazing...

-How could she think of raising the key when she has a cold... Even the male version of this song is still too high for me, I have to lower it by 1 key to be able to sing it...

-Crazy... I'm getting goosebumps all over my body...

-Whoa... I think this is the best cover of Event Horizon that I have ever heard...

-It fascinates me how it's still comfortable to listen to even though she's singing it so high... She's a really amazing singer...

-Why do I always feel like tearing up every time I hear Jung Eunji sings? I remember tearing up when she sings Into The New World in a variety show just because she's that good. And now here I am, tearing up again...ㅠㅠ

-Whoa... Even the original key is too high for me to singㅋㅋㅋ I've always known it, but I'm still gonna say it... Jung Eunji is an amazing singer

-She sounds so stable, it's crazy...

-Whoa... I feel like her voice is cleansing my ears. I love it.

-I've always known it, but I'm still gonna say it... She's an amazing singer. I can't believe she sounds that amazing even when she has a cold.

-How could she sing it so effortlessly?

The movie tickets are too expensive? There's nothing to watch? ... Over 7,000 comments discuss the crisis in the Korean Cinema Industry

 

> Will the crisis be resolved by lowering the price of movie tickets? That's not the case

First of all, let's talk about the price of movie tickets. Many people in the comment state that movie tickets are expensive. Choi Donghoon, the director of the movies 'Tazza' and 'Assassination', publicly points out that the price of movie tickets should be adjusted. 

However, rather than lowering the price of movie tickets, the Cinema Industry needs to invest more in the theatres, technology, etc, in order to attract more audiences. Just like how classical and musical shows still attract audiences despite their tickets that cost hundreds of thousands of won, audiences wouldn't mind paying more if they think what they get is worth the price. 

For example, 53% out of tens of millions of viewers of 'Avatar: The Way of Water' chose to watch the movie in special theatres that cost more than the regular theatres. The same applies to 'I'm Hero The Final' which shows the live performances of singer Im Youngwoong, the number of viewers who chose to watch the movie in Screen X theater, which is more expensive, is twice the number of viewers who chose to watch in the regular theater. 

The question here is 'Can the theater provide an experience that is worth the price of 15,000 KRW (11.70 USD)?'. The Cinema Industry is aware of this. This is the reason why they're focusing more on planning events like cheer screenings in the theaters these days. The theater has its own upsides that can't be experienced by OTT viewers who are only watching from their phones.

Unfortunately, not all movies are suitable for cheer screenings. If the movie itself is not interesting for viewers, the advantage that theatres have become meaningless. This opinion is shown through comments that say, "I will only go to the cinema if the movie is interesting. If it's boring, I won't watch it even if it was free."

-I'm sure most people these days have 75-inch TVs at home, they would just wait until the movies are released on OTT platforms and watch them at home instead... I personally only watch movies in cinemas if they are worth the price, but I still have to admit that movie tickets are really expensive. I thought a lot of cinemas closed down during the pandemic, I guess some of them are still in business...

-I no longer watch movies in cinemas because the tickets are freaking expensive. It's been so f*cking long since the last time I went there.

-It's too late for them to lower the ticket prices now. I used to go to cinemas a lot back then, though. Lately, I just watch them on OTT platforms. 

-That's the problem. I'd watch movies in cinemas if the tickets weren't that expensive. 

-We have OTT platforms now. There's no reason to pay 15,000 KRW to watch movies in cinemas.

-There's a lot to watch on OTT platforms now, so why would I pay that much to watch movies in cinemas?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Just keep up the price and you'll go out of business soon~

-It's weird how they compare the cinema industry to the classical and musical show industry...

-The cinema industry can go to hell. I can barely even eat and survive with the money I make.

-Okay then, insist on keeping up the price, do whatever floats your boat. You'll go out of business soon, then~ The viewers have nothing to lose...

Boys Planet receive criticism for unfair amount of screen time among trainees

 

(These graphs are for Ep 6 and 7 combined)

Among the trainees with the most screen time, some of them are the subjects of 'evil-editing'
There are also some trainees who "ALWAYS" get the most screen time in each episode. This has raised criticism from viewers, because it makes it seem like the debut line-up has already been established beforehand. 

"Our top priority is fairness... 'Boys Planet' showing some changes"

Kim Shinyoung PD said that the most important aspect of this show is to 'breaking the stereotype of 'manipulation'' and 'fairness'. 

theqoo

-This show is not finished yet? I only watched the first 2 episodes and stopped afterwards because it was really obvious that they were pushing some traineesㅋㅋㅋ They no longer can manipulate the votes now, so they're trying to brain-wash viewers through their editings

-It's Mnet...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I have watched every season of Produce 101 and I am currently watching this show right now. I have to admit that the screen time distribution is really unfair. Those who get the most screen time become the highest rankings, and they get even more screen time because of their high rankings... 

-You guys know well that this show is just another season of Produce 101, but with a different name, and yet you're still complaining...

-Then why do you guys still watch the show... They're doing all that shit because you guys are still watching

-To be really honest, the viewers are the ones to blame here. It's not like it's Mnet's first or 2nd time manipulating votes and having unfair amount of screen time.

-The show became boring because they only show the same guys...

-What do you expect from Mnet's survival show?? We all know really well that this is just a re-branded version of Produce 101 anyway...

-I told y'all to not watch this show...

-It's funny how some people are blaming it on the viewers...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Seriously, though... What do you expect from them?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
