On the afternoon of the 25th, MBN held an emergency production briefing session for the entertainment program Under Fifteen at a hotel in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. CEO Seo Hye-jin of Crea Studios, CEO Hwang In-young, and producer Yong Seok-in attended the event. Producer Lee Kuk-yong, who was originally scheduled to attend, was absent due to health reasons.
CEO Hwang In-young said, `Some people say that the age limit itself is a problem, and if you were not worried about that at all, we also thought about various possibilities, negative public opinion, or unintended parts, so it was not at all. However, as you can see from the video, the decisive part of our intention is that we want to audition for the Alpha generation. I remember producing SBS 'K-Pop Star', which was an element of surprise to the older generation as teenagers swept the championship and runner-up at the time. There was also a question of whether the younger generation should sing the songs of adults, but friends born in the 21st generation are growing up in a different media environment than the older generation, and the culture of K-pop is the global standard. There are friends who want to become K-pop idols and express their talents all over the world.
Then "I wanted to open the door to opportunity, and due to the current structure of K-pop, friends under the age of 15 have dreams and talents, and are specific, subjective, and passionate. In a way, just because they are young, they auditioned for large or small agencies and were trainees, but some are neglected, and do you think the reality is not keeping up with their dreams?C. Unlike agencies, broadcasting can be an official route to show talent to the public, and there were cases where a new system was created through broadcasting, which could not be noticed in the current system. For the talented Alpha generation, it would be meaningful to have the best K-pop stars judge and audition staff to develop their talents through the framework of auditioning. In fact, when I first planned it, I searched for friends who would participate by paying attention to the younger generation without specifying it as a girl group audition, but I saw an overwhelmingly talented group among my girlfriends, and if this works out, I decided to start as a girl group because I could do a boy group in another season later. "
Some point out that we were careless, but in a way, we were disappointed to have children under the age of 15 in girl group auditions, but we paid attention in the process and had faith. If you look at recent idol content, it is different from 10 years ago. Recently, you may not remember the stages that make you think of 'sexualization' while watching idol stages. Modern trends don't and don't mimic those stages. These days, Alpha generation. In fact, we were very surprised, and we learned a lot about these dream stages that our friends think are cool and want to resemble. As we audition and produce, the production team said a lot that the younger generation has a different dream and is trying in a different way than we think, and that adults are surprised and moved. "There may be a number of concerns, but we've been planning and producing this project for over a year, so in a way, there seems to have been an optimistic side that we thought everyone would be impressed when the lid was opened."
Representative Hwang continued "Recently, combined with various external factors, he expressed concern about our title, which is controversial, and there were suspicions that "Weren't you aiming for it?"I would like to say that ' is not at all. As a result, I agreed with MBN that if it was controversial and hurt my friends who participated, I thought it should be prevented, so I agreed that I should look at it with a more strict and strict standard, so I agreed on a full review. I would like to say that this is a necessary response to protect the honor of the team with us and the cast because there is a desire for the friends who participated in this program not to be consumed in connection with the frames that are different from the facts."
'Underpiptin' is an entertainment program that announced its first broadcast on the 31st, and it is the first generational audition to discover K-pop prodigies under the age of 15 in the world. It tells the story of 59 prodigies selected through global preliminary examinations over six months, regardless of race, nationality, and genre, among girls under the age of 15 in more than 70 countries around the world. However, the broadcast has been completely reviewed as a number of teenagers under the age of 15 appear, and four 9-year-old girl participants appear.
