broadcast captureYoo Ya-ho’s relative, ‘entertainment giant’ Yu Pal-bong, took the first step on his journey to find a WSG Wannabe member.
In the MBC entertainment show ‘What do you do when you play?’ broadcast on the 9th, Yoo Pal-bong, Yoo Jae-suk’s new assistant (secondary character), met the representatives of the agency to produce the female vocal group WSG Wannabe and opened the audition.
‘What do you do when you play?’ The ratings recorded 6% (Nielsen Korea national standard), so it was not pushed by the offensive of new dramas.
Yupalbong appeared boasting a finely-picked Cheonghak-dong daenggi hair, and a luxury fashion style. Yu Palbong, who revealed the meaning of her name, ‘I will climb to the top of the eight peaks in the country’, announced the female vocal group WSG Wannabe’s excavation project, and she expressed her ambition to “draw a big picture once.”
After visiting Antenna Music’s office, Yoo Pal-bong introduced to CEO Yoo Hee-yeol, “Yoo Ya-ho is my distant relative.” He said, “I am a close friend of the beauty. Once I want ‘this is it’, I have a style that does it until the end.” revealed Then, “Yu Yaho auditioned alone. He took everything on his own. WSG Wannabe is not alone, each agency will risk everything and select female vocalists through the audition,” he said.
Yupalbong revealed the criteria for selecting an agency to work with. “Large scale and huge system companies cannot be included here. I will go to an agency that has never been selected for an audition program. Freshness comes from that,” he said, breaking the industry’s conventional wisdom. Hee-yeol Yoo was surprised to hear the name of an agency that he had never imagined and asked, “Will this be an audition?”, and Pal-bong Yu expressed confidence, saying, “I am very attracted to making a question mark into an exclamation point.”
Then, Yupalbong revealed the real reason he came to Antenna. He said, “Lend me only the company name. I need the company name during this project. The CEO is an ‘audition tazza’ with a lot of experience participating in auditions. I can’t see the judges for this audition.” Yoo Hee-yeol replied, “I signed a contract with Yoo Jae-seok in August of last year, and rumors circulated that the company will be running under his own name around the spring of this year.” Yoo Pal-bong persuaded Yoo Hee-yeol with his colorful speech, and eventually became an antenna agent.
Next, Yu Pal-bong visited Yamujin Entertainment, headed by Jung Jun-ha. Seeing the unique appearance of a company with an office, kitchen, and karaoke room in one space, Yu Pal-bong said, “I came to an entertainment company, is that right? Is this a restaurant?” Jung Jun-ha said, “That’s right, an entertainment company. It was founded in 2015,” and tried to dispel Yu’s suspicions by referring to her celebrity MCs Minji and Jung Junha. After a thorough verification process, Palbong Yu decided to go on an audition journey with Yamujin Entertainment and WSG Wannabe.
Lastly, Yupalbong said, ‘What do you do when you play?’ Her member already offered Joo an audition for WSG Wannabe. Lee Mi-joo said, “There were a lot of members, and there were a lot of members in charge of entertainment and singing. I had a funny role.” When asked how she quenched her thirst for singing, she said, “She went to karaoke alone to fill two hours.” Lee Mi-joo revealed her will, saying, “I haven’t had a lot of opportunities. Now is the time to show (my vocals)”, and she raised her expectations by receiving an audition invitation.
Meanwhile, in the preview video for the next episode, Yu Pal-bong and the judges started a blind audition to select WSG Wannabe members. It raised viewers’ curiosity about who the three major entertainment heads with Yamujin Entertainment, including Jung Jun-ha and Yu Pal-bong, would be and what female vocalists would have participated in the audition.
MBC ‘What do you do when you play?’ is broadcast every Saturday at 6:25 pm.
