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.
Producer Yong Seok-in "The kids don't even think about the fact that they can't be broadcasted. I'm working hard every moment, and I'm practicing somewhere even in this moment. They want to be recognized for what they have learned, so they are doing their best. I'm really looking forward to the show, I want to brag about it, and I want to promote it, that's what children and parents really mean now. This is being hurt a lot by distortion for any reason. It's the saddest thing for the production team, and when it doesn't air, really. It shouldn't happen, and it seems hard to imagine the hurt that children or parents will suffer from this. On the contrary, parents say 'Is the production team okay with this happening. Our child will take care of it, so please focus more on making the show and make it well. Rather, they comfort us more. We are rather comforted. We are doing our best with more energy so that we can fully present the results of the efforts of children, parents, staff and production to the world. Some carers were even happy to see all the participants, including the eliminated contestants, come homeAnd we're doing everything we can to help these kids continue their talents and to help them grow as a process, not as a "end" point."
'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.
