Chapter 380 Waves
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, CUBE released a brief announcement on its official website, which was really very brief, because it was just a few words:
"Thank you for your concern, but it's time to be honest with everyone. Just now, Mr. Jin Zhongming entrusted us to tell him that Baker died of natural causes yesterday morning due to old age and decay, and that he had gone peacefully, and that his body had been cremated and scattered into the sea.
In view of the unanimous interest and affection of Baker for his appearance in "Two Days and One Night", Mr. Kim Jong-myung will donate about 30 million won of Baker's salary to the Coal Bank in the hope that it will continue to bring warmth to people in this cold winter in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Above. ”
This brief message, while confirming yesterday afternoon's rumors, was almost shocking for South Korea. Soon after the information was released, countless people began to mourn and miss this big white bear dog that brought happiness to most South Koreans on the Internet.
The momentum was staggering, and even Jin Zhongming was a little surprised.
In fact, when you look into it carefully, the reasons for this are not complicated.
First of all, Baker's popularity is really beyond the reach of dogs in South Korea, and the ratings of "Two Days and One Night" are there, and few Koreans don't know it, and everyone does like it.
Secondly, and most importantly, is the cleanliness of the image. As a 'star', Baker will never produce any scandals, things like open defecation are ratings points here, and the donation of 30 million undoubtedly draws a perfect end to the perfect image of this 'star'. Compared with the scandals and scandals that appear frequently in the entertainment industry, the ridiculous political turmoil. The economic situation is helpless. Baker's performance was really outstanding. There are even media who have calculated it. Baker's salary of 200,000 per episode in the first year and a half, and 400,000 per episode in the second year, plus one piece, is 30 million, and it almost donated it and left. Some even cited Baker's 'imitation' of his master's repeated refusal to appear in commercials...... To put it mildly, the image of this big white bear dog is too much in line with the moral aesthetics of Koreans, and all other Korean stars are moral scum in front of it, even in the eyes of everyone's keyboard warriors. All Korean artists, including Kim Jong-myung, should learn from Baker's spirit......
In short, Koreans have really found a clean 'entertainment idol' for a while, and it has passed away, so there is no need to worry about any more scandals about it, which is simply perfect.
Of course, the cringe-barred low temperatures and heavy snow that block traffic are actually a leavening agent, and this kind of weather has brought most of South Korea's political, economic, and entertainment activities to a standstill, not to mention that it is the winter vacation, which makes most of the bear children stay at home, and even the first thing people who go to work after coming to the office is to drink hot coffee while busy feeling how cold it is today......
And at this time, such a topic of national nature was confirmed. These people who were idle and panicked naturally immediately joined the discussion at the national level on the Internet. All kinds of mourning messages filled the entire Internet in an instant, and the video highlights and MVs made by netizens were also flying all over the sky. And the momentum is comparable to yesterday's snowflakes!
And at two o'clock in the afternoon, when Kim Jong-ming released a new short announcement through CUBE's official website, the already chaotic and lively Korean Internet was almost instantly detonated:
"In view of the blow caused by Baker's death, coupled with the fact that I have always felt my own shortcomings and hardships, after obtaining the understanding and consent of my colleagues in the program team, Luo Yingshi pd, and the relevant departments of KBS TV, I, Jin Zhongming, will officially get off from KBS's Sunday variety show "Two Days and One Night".
We apologize for any inconvenience or discomfort this may cause, and we look forward to your understanding and support.
I hope "Two Days and One Night" will get better and better! I hope everyone will be happy on Sunday night!
Above, Jin Zhongming. ”
Just five minutes later, the headline on the official website of KBS posted the blessings of the "Two Days and One Night" program team to Kim Jong-ming after leaving, and the payment was Luo Yingshi.
The message is unmistakable.
"Is it hard to accept Baker's departure? ”
This reason cannot be said to be insufficient, and it is not pleasant for anyone to change. ”
"Yes, if you think about it carefully, Jin Zhongming has been with Baker all the time since he was a teenager to the present, isn't the so-called most important time in his life always accompanied by Baker?"
"Krystal and Sika must be very sad to say that, for those two of them, Baker is more than useful. ”
At the beginning, there was no doubt that there was a lot of sympathy and recognition, as Luo Yingshi said yesterday, Baker's departure was an excellent reason and interface, at least emotionally speaking, everyone could accept it.
In fact, when many media reported on this incident in the form of text messages, they said that Kim Jong-ming was devastated by Baker's departure, so he also chose to leave "Two Days and One Night" to escape memories.
Slowly, however, some discordant discussions naturally emerged.
If it's because of depression, then why didn't "Undefeated Youth" and "My Knot" give up together? It's understandable that everyone has a good rest. ”
"You can't say that upstairs, right? After all, Baker is only in "Two Days and One Night", what is the matter with "Undefeated Youth" and "My Knot"?"
"yes, how did this nonsense come about? Mr. and Mrs. Pork Knuckle and Goo Hara, the joke master, have always been my favorites, and I'm still waiting for this Saturday's happy time. ”
"I can't say that, the mood is a common thing, I think Kim Jong Ming may not be able to laugh if he really goes to "Youth Undefeated" and "My Knot......"
"Actually, I think the best way is to pause the three variety shows together for a period of time, let Xiong Taiyu do more work in "Youth Undefeated", "I Knot" Levini (couple) and forgiveness (sweet potato) couple can also hold up, "Two Days and One Night" can rest casually, after all, there are 7 big men in that show now, and there is no shortage of him. Then take a month off or simply two months and go back after the New Year. Isn't that the best of both worlds? Why do you have to get off?"
"yes. What the fifth floor said is very reasonable, just take a break, why do you have to get off so resolutely? My grandparents are now alive on Sunday, and my grandma likes Baker the most, and my grandfather especially likes Jin Zhongming's hardness, and now that Baker has died, Jin Zhongming got off again, I don't know how sad they will be......"
"I think the fifth floor is not only right, but in fact, he also inadvertently made a key point. That's "Two Days and One Night" 'There are seven big men here now, and there is no shortage of him'. If you think about it carefully, didn't Kim Jong-ming participate in "Two Days and One Night" because he wanted to replace Kim Jong-min, who went to serve?"
"Upstairs to the point, that's it, Kim Jong-min is back now, and even the last issue did not wait for Kim Jong-ming to end the quarantine and went back on his word, it seems that Kim Jong-ming is being forced to take the initiative to give way......"
"What nonsense? Who can force Jin Zhongming to move now?"
In another forum with a more in-depth discussion, someone simply posted a serious analysis of this matter:
"It's Jiang Hudong! If you think about it carefully, you will understand, Jin Zhongming has expressed many times that he is Liu Line or a person who prefers Liu Zaishi's side, and as his popularity rises. Especially the best director who won a few days ago is really too tiger, Jiang Hudong is afraid that he will not be able to control the situation. I wanted to drive Jin Zhongming away for a long time...... As for Kim Jong-min, to be honest, he should be just a substitute, and he doesn't have any heart, after all, all of Korea knows that this is a real fool who can't lie. ”
"I think the landlord thinks too much, don't be conspiracy theories about everything. And it's better to do something meaningful than to post this kind of post on the Internet all day long, I don't expect you to set an example for the society like Baker, but if you have time to go out and clear the snow, it can be regarded as a contribution to the community, right?"
"Actually, I also think that the landlord is salty and eats radishes and worries lightly, the relationship between the members of "Two Days and One Night" is undoubted, you look at the suffering they suffered together in those previous shows...... Of course, there is one thing I think is indeed debatable, Kim Jong-min did make Kim Jong-ming very embarrassed when he came back, could he have taken the initiative to make room for the other party in it? Maybe it wasn't strong at first, but Baker's death gave him the idea of going with the flow......
"The analysis upstairs was pertinent. As a passer-by who doesn't watch variety shows much, I can objectively say that 6 people to 7 people does break the equilibrium, and it is really inappropriate to suddenly put aside Kim Jong Ming in the last episode. And Kim Jong-ming does have his own arrogance, and it is not impossible to take this opportunity to return this position to Kim Jong-min...... Of course, no one can deny the impact of Baker's incident, there are multiple factors, but I think the personnel change is also a factor that cannot be denied......"
Sure enough, just as Kim Jong-ming guessed, after the matter was discussed, Kim Jong-min's return to "Two Days and One Night" was universally mentioned. Kim Jong-ming made way for Kim Jong-min, and such remarks quickly spread on the Internet after words such as Baker's death and Kim Jong-ming's dismissal. Because, this thing really makes everyone can't help but make associations. But fortunately, as expected, coupled with Kim Jongmin's own good reputation and weak position, no one blamed him for this, more sighs and helplessness.
And in the evening, an unexpected person's statement, which further fermented the matter, was immediately conclusively formed by public opinion.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak was eager to visit the affected areas after heavy snow had crushed many houses in shantytowns in northwestern Seoul and there was a shortage of necessary heating fuels such as coal.
After helping the Coal Bank, a well-known winter non-governmental relief organization, move a few pieces of honeycomb coal, Lee Myung-bak sat in a tent at the aid station and talked about Baker with the Coal Bank in front of Yonhap News Agency and other media outlets.
"I also have dogs. Lee Myung-bak's words are indeed sincere. "To be honest, I don't think my 'Chindur' would be able to do what Baker did, because it didn't have a salary and wasn't even as well-known as Baker. But when it gets old enough, I will definitely try to make it learn from Baker and donate a sum of money to serve the society when the time comes...... Moreover, I understand Mr. Kim Jong-myung's choice, because if 'Cheongdur' really had that day, it would be hard for me to imagine that I would continue to walk on the road behind the Blue House...... However, "Two Days and One Night" as a national-level variety show brought laughter to all the people on Sunday, and I really hope that in the future, the six-member group, including Kim Jong-min, who returned from service, can continue to work hard to fill the gap after Kim Jong-ming and Baker left!"
No matter what role Lee Myung-bak is hitting the street now, the president is the president after all, he is the president of the day in office, his statement is very unexpected, but he inadvertently helped Kim Jong-ming control the explosive public opinion, and the excessive rumors were quickly crushed down, starting from Yonhap News Agency, the large and small media adjusted their caliber uniformly:
First, Baker is indeed a good boy who is a national role model.
Second, it's a pity that Kim Jong-ming is gone, but I hope "Two Days and One Night" will continue to work hard, there is no need to delve into it.
Third, if Cindur were to die tomorrow, how much money would we donate to the Media Bank as a president?
Of course, the last one was not issued by Yonhap News Agency, and it was an issue that I don't know from which media started to emerge, but I have to admit that everyone discussed it very hotly.
