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 Seo Hye-jin said "Usually audition programs, programs with MBN are 'Actual Singer' and 'Burning Trotman', but all of these programs are recruited and produced by Crea Studio, so MBN does not charge production fees. MBN is a platform. It's not a different opinion from MBN. Although it is a platform, he expressed his intention to review it because he felt responsible. Two weeks ago, the MBN review team, the planning office, and the organization team already saw it, and they sent the complete version to the Korea Communications Commission and Korea Communications Standards Commission. Since they reviewed that there was no problem internally, they said in advance that they would publish it on YouTube to clear the controversy by summarizing it in this compilation. If other people want to complain, you can come to our company and tell us. At MBN, we are not responsible for this."
'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.
