1. [+90][-1] They're all his friends' songsㅋㅋ

2. [ +78][-1] It's his friends' songsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+67][-1] It's fascinating how Girlfriend, Astro, and Seventeen seem to be all close to each other, maybe because they debuted around the same time.

4. [+64][-1] Jungkook and VIVIZ seem to be the same age as him or younger than him, so he addresses them comfortably. While Seventeen has older members, that's probably why he addresses them as 'Sunbaenim'? If you're a fan of ASTRO Astro, you would know their deep-rooted friendship with these groupsㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+39][-1] Since it's his friends' songs, I guess he listens to it every time he exercisesㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's cute

6. [+20][-] Cha Eun-woo, please do the "Pop Your Butt" Challenge

What is the most important requirement to survive as an idol?

 

1. Visual

2. Singing or Dancing Skills

3. Lyric and Song Composing Skills

4. Entertainment Skills

5. Money, Connections

theqoo

-Short-term 1, Long-term 4,5 but all except 3 should be the basics

-There are some who solely rely on visuals to make a living.

-I think 2 is the minimum, and if you have 1 as well, it's like the cherry on top.

-If you look at the idols who have been around for over 10 years, the ones with 2 seems to be the one that lasts the longest.

-4 Because they're singers, they'll keep singing and dancing, but to survive, you need entertainment talent so that you can be seen on TV often.

-You can survive with just 1, but I personally can't like someone without 2...

-For singers, it's 2; for the entertainment industry, it's 1.

-As an idol, it's 2; to have a long career as an entertainer, you need entertainment skills + acting skills.

-You need to sing well, not just dance. After all, because you're a singer.... it's probably okay to stick with visuals, talent, and dancing only until your early twenties.

-If you're going to keep being an idol, it's 2; 1 is for becoming an actor, model, or influencer, 3 is for becoming a producer, and 4 is for transitioning to a variety entertainer.

-Life as an entertainer is all about visuals. If you're an idol, that's your main job.

-Good-looking idols usually end up becoming actors/actresses, anyway...

-Definitely 1; everything else is just an option.

Actor who is expected to have the highest fee of 1 Billion KRW in South Korea

 As "Squid Game" has gained tremendous popularity and worldwide fame, it was already speculated that the leading actors' fees would increase. In particular, since Lee Jung-jae is an indispensable key actor for "Squid Game" Season 2, whatever fee he demands must be justified. If Lee Jung-jae indeed receives over 1 billion won per episode, it would be the highest guarantee fee ever paid in South Korea.

This is seen as a tribute to Lee Jung-jae, who contributed significantly to the success of "Squid Game." According to an official from a broadcasting content production company, "Considering the financial strength of Netflix, which produced 'Squid Game,' Lee Jung-jae's appearance fee could exceed 1 billion won per episode. Given the global interest in 'Squid Game' and the perspective of 'this person deserves recognition,' it could be rationalized."

Paying 1 billion won per episode with domestic capital alone would be challenging. The official added, "If Lee Jung-jae is cast in a different project other than 'Squid Game' and sold overseas, it may not generate as much revenue as 'Squid Game.' For a six-part series, it would be 6 billion won. Casting him for 10 billion won per episode amid uncertainty about generating that level of profit poses a risk burden."

"Squid Game 2" reportedly includes incentives for the success of the first season, offered by the headquarters.

theqoo

-I understand even if he asks for more.

-It's understandable to receive that much for "Squid Game." It's still less compared to Hollywood actors.

-"Squid Game" is Netflix's all-time No.1... Considering the profits, that amount might be considered low. It's from the U.S. headquarters anyway.

-It's understandable if "Squid Game" actors receive even more. Now it's global Hollywood-level productions, not just Korean dramas. It shouldn't be compared to other local dramas.

-It's "Squid Game," after all.

-If he wasn't from South Korea, 1 billion won wouldn't mean anything... He would probably even receive double. He only received that much because he's a Korean actor.

-Considering how much money "Squid Game" made, it's understandable.

-It's "Squid Game," then what can you say? It's worth it.

-There are actors in Korea who receive 500 million, so 1 billion for "Squid Game" is actually considered cheap.

-"Squid Game" earned in the tens of billions...

-They should pay him more for this. How much did "Squid Game" make?

-Lee Jung-jae deserves it.

-"Squid Game" is an exception.

"Dance Challenge" Founder Zico Says He Receives a Lot of Resentment... Apologizes to Idols

 

On the evening of the 17th, MBC's variety show "Point of Omniscient Interference" aired its 286th episode, featuring Block B's Zico and Brian of "Fly to the Sky".

During the episode, Zico, the founder of the "Dance Challenge," revealed that he is receiving a lot of resentment. Since the "Dance Challenge," which started from Zico's "Any Song Challenge," has become an essential activity for promoting idol songs, idols are now obligated to film challenge videos in the waiting room during their breaks.

Zico expressed, "Even all singers must know each other's choreography," and apologized for this aspect, saying, "I would like to take this opportunity to apologize."

theqoo

-I'm tired of the challenges now, even though they were good...

-Zico, please make not doing the challenge a trend.

-I'm really tired of it now...

-Please make a trend of clapping while sitting on the couch and listening to your own songs instead of dancing challenges.

-It's not that I don't like the challenge itself, but I don't like them choosing choreography specifically for the challenge... Rather than modifying existing choreography easily for the challenge, I dislike them blatantly selecting choreography specifically for the challenge... 

-It's not Zico's fault... it's the companies forcing forced challenge marketing that's the problemㅠㅠ Honestly, even viewers are tired of it now.

-It's not Zico's fault; it just accidentally became popular.

-The songs are getting repetitive.

-It doesn't seem necessary to apologize for something that Zico didn't force, wasn't it just because "Any Song Challenge" became popular that everyone else started making challenges? It doesn't seem like anyone's fault. Maybe everyone should just gradually stop when the challenge's popularity cools down like this.

-Let's just stop now.

-Rather than saying it became a trend because of Zico, it was already a global trend, and Zico was just the first to step in, being mistaken as the creator.

-Isn't it inevitable since TikTok is the trend?

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the cost of hanging out with friends...?ㅠㅠ is a waste?

 Of course, it's fun and enjoyable to hang out with friends, but now that I'm an adult and almost only drink alcohol, I can't help but think it's meaningless to spend money on drinks... 

Also, I admit I'm materialistic, but lately I keep thinking it's better to buy just one Dior tint instead of going out and spending 30,000 to 40,000 won... It's driving me crazy... 

Maybe being a hermit is the answer after all.

1. [+416][-12] You'll be sad if there's no one sees you using that pretty tint.

2. [+321][-4] I'm in my 30s, I can say that if it's not now, you will barely have time to hang out with friendsㅠ Once they start getting jobs one by one, moving away from hometowns, it becomes really difficult to meet even once a year... I've been keeping in touch with my friends. However, it seems like we just congratulate each other when something good happens and continue to interact like that. If they're close friends who share your sentiments, don't worry about money and just enjoy yourselves... When you're older, you barely have the chance to hang out with them even if you wantㅠㅠ

3. [+141][-4] I feel the same. After spending money with friends and coming back home, I feel drained and slightly regretful.

4. [+129][-5] Whoa... I can totally relate. Just going out once to have fun costs around 30,000 to 40,000 won minimum, and more than half of that is usually spent on food. It's such a waste ㅜㅜ.....

5. [+80][-2] I'm the same wayㅠㅠWhen I hang out with friends, money gets spent so quickly and there's nothing left, so it feels wasteful.

6. [+63][-0] I mean, even for Dior tint, you have to go out to use it. It feels more wasteful to use it alone at home... It might sound old-fashioned, but once you hit your 30s, you start thinking of it as the cost of enjoying your youth.

7. [+50][-0] Then, just hang out with friends you really care about and want to see for a long time. Maybe you think that money goes to waste because they're not really your friends?

8. [+38][-0] I used to be like that too, but as I got into my mid-20s, everyone started getting jobs, dating, doing part-time jobs, building up their resumes... It's hard to see friends because everyone's busy finding their own paths in life, so we try to meet whenever we get the chance.
