I want to be a chaebol

On September 30, 2004, ABS TV station officially launched. The main news program of ABS is "ABS News 30" which is broadcast at 7:30 every morning.

The singing program of ABS TV station is "The Sound", which is broadcast every Monday night, and its English name is "The Sound".

The program "Continuous Sound" will count the top 50 songs in the music source last week, and then invite singers to participate in the singing stage.

The ranking of "Eternal Sound" is determined based on 50% of last week's music sales data + 40% of online voting and 10% of on-site voting. There is no limit on the number of times a ranking can be performed.

"The Sound" has opened an official homepage on the inschool website. Before each program starts, fans who support each singer can vote for their favorite singers through the inschool website.

On October 4th, the first episode of "The Sound of Life" singing stage has invited popular singers such as Shinhwa Group, TVXQ Group, Kim Jong Kook, Lee Hyori, Park Hyo Shin, Rain, Ko Yota Group, Chae Yeon, Baek Ji Young and other popular singers to participate in the current period. Song stage. Fans who like KPOP music are already looking forward to the broadcast of the program. They commented that this program is a fight between gods.

If ABS TV station did not have the support of the SA Group, one of the top ten financial groups, it would be absolutely impossible to invite the most popular singers in South Korea to compete on the same program.

If the most popular female singer in 2003 was Baek Ji-young, then the most popular female singer in the Korean music industry in 2004 was Chae Yeon. As soon as the intro "Na Na Na Nan Nan Na" of Chae Yeon's "Two People" was played, people couldn't help but I just want to hum a few words along with it.

If the most popular female singer is Chae Yeon, then the most popular group must be TVXQ.

This boy band, which debuted in 2003, has won multiple first places in three music programs: KBS's "Music Bank", MBC's "Popularity Center", and SBS's "Inkigayo". TVXQ's popularity has surpassed that of Shinhwa's group who left SM Entertainment and established their own business.

BoA and TVXQ's consecutive successful debuts in the Japanese market have also driven up SM Entertainment's stock price. Kim Young Min and Lee Soo Man will focus on Super Junior, the boy band that will debut next year.

The first president of ABS was Zhou Dongyong. He resigned as chairman of the Korea Broadcasting and Communications Commission and became president of ABS TV station. The former president of MBC TV station was nominated as chairman of the Korea Broadcasting and Communications Commission.

Because of this appointment, ABS is considered to be the propaganda mouthpiece of the ruling New Millennium Democratic Party, even though it is disguised as a private television station.

The first news program "North-South Dialogue" broadcast on Saturday also illustrated this point from the side.

The host of "North-South Dialogue" Lee Hyun-jin went deep into the news frontline and interviewed Korean tourists on the tourist line from Inojin Station to Goseong Station. He also specially interviewed Kim Dong-shin, chairman of the North Korean Asia-Pacific Peace Commission, at the Seongan Hotel in the Mount Kumgang International Tourism Zone. .

This is also the first time that a senior North Korean official has accepted an exclusive interview with a South Korean television station, which can be said to be the first of its kind in history.

In addition to Kim Dong-shin, South Korean Congressman Zhou Mong-heon also accepted an interview with "North-South Dialogue".

Throughout the interview, Zhou Mengxian highly praised the hard work of both South Korea and North Korea for the opening of the special tourist line from Inojin Station to Goseong Station. This tourist line is not only a road to wealth, bringing more tourists to Mount Kumgang International Tourism Area, but also a road to peace. An increasing number of Korean separated family members are traveling to Mount Kumgang through the special tourist line, and successfully meet their long-lost North Korean relatives at Mount Kumgang.

In addition to Inojin Station and Goseong Station, on the Gyeonggi Line of the Inter-Korean Railway, the railway from Munsan Station in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea to Kaesong Station in North Korea is also continuing to be repaired with the help of railway technicians from both sides. It is expected that this railway will be completed by the end of the year Officially opened to traffic. This also means that the first phase of the inter-Korean railway has been successfully completed.

At that time, the goods of Korean companies in the Kaesong Industrial Park can be transported directly to Wenshan Station via rail transportation, then transferred to Incheon Port, and then sold to the world.

After the broadcast of "North-South Dialogue", South Korea's conservative Grand National Party made personnel adjustments, and deputy representative of the Grand National Party Jung Jinhui was elected as the top committee member of the Grand National Party.

This is the first time since the founding of South Korea that a female candidate has become the leader of a major political party in South Korea. The previous party leader Lee Chang-hui was abandoned by the Grand National Party lawmakers. After Lee Guanghui was arrested, they needed fresher blood to speak out for the conservatives.

In fact, Zheng Jinhui became the deputy party representative of the Grand National Party in 2000. She criticized Lee Chang-hwi, the Grand National Party's top committee member, during the intra-party election of the Grand National Party's presidential candidate in 2002.

At that time, Chung Jin-hye asked the Grand National Party to separate party power and power and adopt a campaign method with public participation. At that time, Li Changhui and Li Guanghui formed an alliance and suppressed Zheng Jinhui's opposition.

Let’s put it this way, the Grand National Party is different from the ruling New Millennium Democratic Party. Lee Chang-hwi was the leader of the Grand National Party at the time and had monopolized power, so he was automatically selected as the Grand National Party's 2002 presidential candidate.

At that time, Zheng Jinhui also wanted to participate in the presidential election, so she asked the Grand National Party to adopt the same intra-party election method as the New Millennium Democratic Party to select the presidential candidate. Zheng Jinhui is known as the Queen of Elections and has won many elections.

If the Grand National Party uses voter voting to select its presidential candidate, it is unclear whether Lee Chang-hwi will be the Grand National Party's presidential candidate in 2002.

After being rejected, Zheng Jinhui quit the Grand National Party in anger and formed the Future Korea Alliance Party. Later, after Lee Guangwang's accident. Zheng Jinhui once again decisively returned to the Grand National Party and has always been at the center of power of the conservative party.

Zheng Jinhui went to Pingjing in 2002 and was received by the leaders of Pingjing. Although she advocates easing relations between North Korea and South Korea, she has always advocated further isolating North Korea economically and in international relations to force North Korea to abandon the development of mushroom bombs to deal with North Korea's missile threat.

Therefore, after the first issue of "North-South Dialogue" was broadcast, Zheng Jinhui made critical remarks. She believes that the Song Woo-seok government is too weak towards North Korea. North Korea's foreign exchange income through the Mount Kumgang International Tourism Zone and Kaesong Industrial Park will further help North Korea develop new missile weapons.

Although Zheng Jinhui nominally targeted the Song Woo-seok government, she was actually targeting the SA Foundation and Song Yi.

However, what is interesting is that Song Yi did not comment on Zheng Jinhui's remarks, and "ABS News 30 Minutes" also broadcast Zheng Jinhui's remarks in full.

Zhou Dongyong questioned that he felt there was no need to broadcast Zheng Jinhui's remarks and that the news content could be focused on promoting the ruling party's political achievements. For example, the Seoul City Government spent huge sums of money to build the Seoul Forest Park project.

The Seoul Forest Park project is actually an ancillary project of the Cheonggyecheon Stream reconstruction project. The restored Cheonggyecheon Stream flows to Kudo Island and then flows to the Han River, where it merges with the Han River.

For the citizens of Seoul who have no conditions to go out to escape the summer heat, the island is their water-friendly space in summer. During the Joseon Dynasty, the island was a hunting ground for Joseon kings. In modern times, it has been developed as a water source, golf course and horse racing track.

According to the estimates of the Seoul City Government, if all of the islands are developed into high-end residential areas, it will bring 4 trillion won in revenue to the city government. However, the Park Dong-ho government did the opposite and turned it into a large forest park and a large forest oxygen bar located on the bank of the Han River. This also reflects the people-oriented policy agenda of the Seoul City Government.

Seoul Forest Park has become the urban forest symbol of Seoul like Central Park in New York or Hyde Park in London.

The date scene in Seoul Forest Park appeared in the TV series "Full House" co-starred by Song Hye Kyo and Rain this year. When this TV series ends, young lovers in Seoul will have another dating destination. The Seoul Police Department had to arrange police patrols in the park to avoid vicious cases.

Song Yi himself persuaded Zhou Dongyong, "President Zhou, you have to know that voters, like netizens, are forgetful."

"The Cheonggyecheon reconstruction project has not yet been completed, and the Udo Forest Park is only part of the Seoul Forest Park Project. The Seoul City Government will also build four forest parks in other locations for Seoul citizens to rest and play."

"This is not an election year. There is no need to promote Mayor Park Dong-ho's political achievements at this time. It is better to keep a low profile at this time and wait until next year's congressional midterm elections to start making efforts. This will also help consolidate the ruling party's seats in Congress. .”

"If we high-profilely publicize Uncle Park's achievements now, the best we can do is help him win re-election as mayor of Seoul. If the Grand National Party wins a majority of seats in the National Assembly, then Uncle Song will become a lame president, and the policies introduced by the government will be If Congress refuses, it will also be detrimental to the Korean economy." Song Yi said.

Zhou Dongyong thought about it for a moment, and he had to admit that Song Yi's consideration was more thoughtful. If ABS deliberately broadcasts only positive news about the ruling party, it would not be consistent with the original positioning of ABS TV station.

The official slogan of ABS TV is "Focus on Korea, Look to Asia." Unlike MBC and SBS, ABS and KBS are the only two wireless TV stations in South Korea that focus on current affairs news in Asian countries.

Zhou Dongyong said to Song Yi: "The relationship between the president and the media has never been very good. He is too straightforward and can easily offend people. Therefore, the party has high expectations for ABS TV station and hopes to be able to broadcast on the three major wireless networks." There is a voice outside the station, otherwise I would not come back to work in the station."

Since applying for the establishment of a wireless TV station, Song Yi has been fully prepared for the launch of ABS TV station. Therefore, after Zhou Dongyong came to ABS TV station, his work became easier and he was easy to get started.

ABS's news columns are "ABS News 30 Minutes" and "North-South Dialogue".

The first two TV dramas aired by ABS TV are "Queen Seondeok" starring Ko Hyun Jung and "The Crown Prince's First Love" starring Cha Tae Hyun and Sung Yuri.

"Queen Seondeok" is a moon-fire drama that airs every Monday and Tuesday nights, and "The Crown Prince's First Love" is a water-drama that airs every Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Although Sung Yuri has appeared in TV series produced by SA Films before, most of them were supporting roles, usually the second or third female lead. The most important reason why Korean audiences know Sung Yuri is that she hosts the variety shows "X-Man" and "Night Heart".

The most popular TV series in 2004 was of course "Full House", which Song Hye Kyo and Rain co-starred in the first half of the year. Song Hye Kyo once again confirmed her ability as the queen of Korean dramas.

Now ABS TV station already has TV series, news programs, and music programs, and now it only needs one ace variety show comparable to "X-Man". Song Yi also thought of this, so he prepared the outdoor competitive reality show "Running Man" for ABS.

Zhou Dongyong has also watched the recording of the first episode of "Running Man". He is still a little worried, "Nowadays, indoor variety shows are the mainstream in Korean variety shows. Will outdoor competitive variety shows like "Running Man" really be popular?"

RunningMan's current hosting lineup is Yoo Jae Suk, Kim Jong Kook, Lee Hyori, Park Myung Soo and Ha Dong Hoon (HAHA).

Yoo Jae Suk is the main MC and is responsible for controlling the scene, while Kim Jong Kook, who loves fitness, is positioned as a capable person in this show, while Park Myung Soo and HAHA are responsible for the funny part, and Lee Hyori takes over the role of Song Ji Hyo in the original version.

Song Ji Hyo has now made her debut. In 2001, Song Ji Hyo shot the cover of the magazine "KIKI" and debuted as a magazine model.

In 2003, Song Ji Hyo starred in the movie "The Story of a High School Girl 3: Fox Staircase" and made a name for herself in the Korean film industry.

Song Ji Hyo is still relatively immature now. If she is allowed to star in the top weekend variety show "Running Man" on the four major Korean TV stations, it will be detrimental to Song Ji Hyo's personal development.

South Korean female artists under the SA Group. The main female artists with MC hosting skills are Lee Hyori and Sung Yuri. Choose one of the two.

Song Yi originally favored Sung Yuri, but Cheng Yuri's motor skills were not as developed as Lee Hyori's, and there were a lot of chasing and running scenes in "Running Man". In addition, Lee Hyori was striving for this hosting opportunity and trying to please Song Yi in every possible way, so Song Yi Yi chose Lee Hyori after careful consideration.

Before his rebirth, Song Yi had watched the weekend variety show "The Birth of a Family" co-hosted by Yoo Jae Suk, Kim Jong Kook, and Lee Hyori. Yoo Jae Suk and Lee Hyori can just form a "national brother and sister" combination, while Kim Jong Kook and Lee Hyori can stir up CP.

Kim Jong Kook is the most successful male singer of SA Music, and Lee Hyori is the female soloist of SA Music. There is no doubt about their strength in the music industry.

Li Xiaoli used to think that by hugging Zhou Mengjiu's lap, he could treat Song Yi without any pretense. But after this period of observation, Li Xiaoli realized that Zhou Mengjiu couldn't protect her.

Although Hyundai Motor is unrivaled in the automobile manufacturing industry, after the launch of ABS TV station, SA Group has surpassed CJ Group and become the largest giant in the Korean entertainment industry. No other company can match it.

Let's put it this way, assuming Song Yi is willing to let Song Ji Hyo star in "Running Man", Song Ji Hyo's agency is willing to take the initiative to clean Song Ji Hyo and send it to Song Yi's bed.

The current media business of SA Group includes television stations, film production companies, music production companies, advertising production companies, cinema lines and brokerage companies. If you include South Korea's largest social networking site inschool and South Korea's largest entertainment company SM Entertainment, SA Group's tentacles have penetrated into every aspect of the Korean entertainment industry. Korean directors, actors, screenwriters, models, and agents all have to look at the SA Group's face.

Because it is a revised version of "Running Man", the number of MCs in this show is fixed at 5 at first, and the number of MCs will be increased or changed later according to changes in the program.

The guests in the first episode of "Running Man" are the five-member TVXQ group. The number of MCs in "Running Man" is exactly the same as the number of TVXQ groups, which makes it easier to launch the final and exciting brand-breaking session.

ABS TV station spent a lot of money on "Running Man". The first filming location of "Running Man" was set at the ABS TV headquarters building. Dozens of cameras were ready to complete the recording of "Running Man" in accordance with the standards of film production. Work.

This episode of TVXQ is divided into upper and lower episodes, which will be broadcast on October 2 and October 8 respectively. This is equivalent to completing the recording of "Running Man" in one day and then broadcasting it in two episodes.

In this way, Yoo Jae Suk, Kim Jong Kook and Lee Hyori only need to spare two to three days per month to complete the recording of "Running Man", which will not affect their other work schedules.

From Song Yi's point of view, he thinks this episode of "Running Man" is very interesting. TVXQ and the Running Man family are competing for wisdom and courage. The personal physical competition between Kim Jong Kook and Asia’s Dance King Jung Yunho is also a highlight of the show.

"Don't worry, President Zhou, it's precisely because there are so many indoor variety shows in Korea that "Running Man", which can be the first to try it out, can attract different audiences."

"When entertainment companies realize that "Running Man" can also be a second song stage to promote their artists, entertainment companies such as CJ Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and YG Entertainment will take the initiative to contact the program team in order to let the artists appear on the program. ." Song Yi answered affirmatively.

"I'm not good at the entertainment business. At home, only my daughter can watch variety shows. I think we can also divide the work well. From now on, I will be responsible for news and current affairs programs, and you will be responsible for TV series, variety shows, or music programs. In this way, we Everyone performing their own duties will also help develop ABS TV station better." Zhou Dongyong suggested.

The smile on Song Yi's face became even warmer, "President Zhou, you used to be the ace news anchor of MBC TV station. You must have more experience in news and current affairs programs than me. I definitely want to listen more to seniors like you in this regard." Suggestion. In fact, if you are free on the 2nd, you might as well watch an issue of "Running Man" with your daughter. Maybe you will also like this column."

As of October 3, "Running Man" starring TVXQ had a national ratings of 10.2%, ranking first among the variety shows on the four major TV stations. "Running Man" suddenly gave the newly launched ABS TV station a good start.

On the same day, ABS TV station held a celebration party at the TV station headquarters building to reward the production team of "Running Man", including the program PD, program writers and five MCs.

ABS TV station president Zhou Dongyong also uploaded a group photo in school. In the photo, Zhou Dongyong is standing in the middle, with Yoo Jae Suk and Lee Hyori standing on both sides.

Zhou Dongyong held the hands of Yoo Jae Suk and Lee Hyori and raised them high in celebration. It is said that after Zhou Mengjiu saw this photo, his face was livid with anger. Because Lee Hyori stayed in Bucheon City for the night that night and did not return to her residence in Seoul.
