When I Opened My Eyes I Was A Superstar

Chapter 105

105. A song to sing alone (1)

The person who passed in front of Do-wook is Um Woo-seok PD. Producer Eom Woo-seok is a person who became KVS' representative entertainment producer through the entertainment program <Camping 48 Hours> that started a year ago.

'Camping 48 Hours' has five cast members traveling across the country for 48 hours.

It is a program to go camping for a while and go on a one-night trip.

The basic format is similar to previous entertainment programs. However, it gained popularity within a few months after starting by diversifying the episodes that take place while camping and the games played during it.

Except for one host, who is called the national MC, all of them are unknown singers or comedians whose names are largely unknown, but the fact that they brought out fresh fun by showing their appearance as regular members did not hesitate to play a big role.

That's how the cast members of 'Camping 48 Hours' went into a valley far away from thin ice in the middle of winter and slept outdoors in a sleeping bag, making viewers think 'it's great' by actively participating in the broadcast.

In addition, the appearance of eating gimbap full of wasabi by drawing a lottery etc. Is fun as primitive as it is simple. The term '48 penalty game' was even coined. At college empty drinking parties, there were many people who copied the games and penalties from 'Camping 48 Hours'.

In this way, 'Camping 48 Hours' is marching high in viewership ratings every day, and is currently maintaining viewership ratings in the 28-30% range.

"Was the viewership rating up to 30% right now...?"

Do-wook thought as he watched PD Eom Woo-seok walking away while answering the phone. When he searched it on my cell phone, it reached the highest viewership rating of 31% last month.

But when there was going up, there was also going down. After a year passed, opinions were emerging that a change was needed in 'Camping 48 Hours' due to the sluggish viewership ratings.

'At this point, a new attempt will be needed.'

The writers of 'Camping 48 Hours' were struggling to devise a new game every day and find a slightly better place. In addition, they tried to break away from the format of 'camping site disclosure - camping (games and penalties) - self-cooking' that is repeated every time.

However, it is an idea that had limits as long as it could not get out of the basic framework. While collecting opinions, PD Uhm Woo-seok came to the idea that he should form a new relationship by incorporating a character into 'Camping 48 Hours'.

Just in time, the director of entertainment also called Uhm Woo-seok PD and suggested how about adding a new character. However, even if the conditions for a 'new person' that the director of the entertainment department and PD woo-seok thought were different.

The average age of the cast of 'Camping 48 Hours' is 42 years old, the national MC is in their early 50s, two comedians in their 40s and two former singers in their late 30s.

The head of the entertainment department has so far been well-organized with people with no names other than Kang Cheon-ho, the national MC, and although they have become famous entertainers, he has been in the position that it would be better to put in another famous person now.

The person the director of entertainment is thinking of is a comedian from KVS. Currently, he is a person who showed off his volubility by appearing in various entertainment programs of KVS.

However, PD Eom Woo-seok had a different idea. Of course, he thought that if comedian Cho Gap-seong, recommended by the director of entertainment, would be able to quickly adapt to 'Camping 48 Hours' and inject some vitality into the show with witty gestures like other shows.
