Chapter 171: Miracles

Actor Jang Mi-hee, singer Joo Young-hoon, artist Choi Min-so, Jiang Seok, Choi Hwa-jing, Wu Mi-hee, etc., have been exposed to academic fraud, which also forced many artists to be busy modifying their personal information posted on the Internet for a while.

Some artists who graduated from prestigious universities were also implicated in the academic degree incident and suffered unjustly. Among them, Kim Tae-hee was in the first place, and he called Kim Sung-won from time to time to vent his bitterness.

Last year, Kim Tae-hee's first film "Jomtien" was dismal at the box office, which made her saddled with the notoriety of "box office poison" and "'15-second artist' who only shoots effortless and profitable commercials", but this year she was questioned about her academic qualifications and suffered unspeakably.

In this turmoil, only Jin Shengyuan sat firmly on Diaoyutai, and the surrounding was calm, and even occasionally flowers and praise fell from the sky, which made many artists envious.

In their opinion, the biggest beneficiary of this turmoil is undoubtedly Jin Shengyuan, which is almost equivalent to sleeping at home and suddenly being hit by banknotes falling from the sky, and it is a bundle of large denominations.

Kim Sung-won's exam results at Seoul National University were once posted by a teacher, and Jeon-eu's comments made no one believe that he was "paddling" at Seoul National University, and Kim Sung-won's identity was unusually clean, and it was impossible for Seoul National University to take care of him like this.

Therefore, Jin Shengyuan has become the object of comparison for many people. This time it is not just an ethereal network, but the entire social media is paying attention to and reporting this turmoil, and the impact on Kim Sung-won is self-evident.

Korean society is a "society of academic qualifications", and there are obvious "academic barriers".

Kim Sung-won is nothing more than the identity of a variety show host and behind-the-scenes music producer, and Weishenme will have unrivaled popularity among college girls? Talent and image are one thing, and the top students of Seoul National University also account for a large part of the reason, and many TV station staff and even PD also look at him differently because of this.

In this case, the "Two Days and One Night" Dokdo special was broadcast, and the ratings instantly jumped to 23%, becoming a well-deserved weekend ace variety show. Jin Shengyuan exploded again because of this, and in the comments on the official website of "Two Days and One Night", the limelight even overtook Jiang Hudong.

The audience no longer refers to this show as "Jiang Hudong's two days and one night", but changes it to "Jiang Hudong and Kim Sung-won's two days and one night". Although it is only a change in title, it can reflect the change in Jin Shengyuan's status.

In mid-to-late July, there is only one hottest name in the entire Korean entertainment industry - Kim Sung-won. The direct effect can be seen in the cable TV program "Shengyuan Theory", which he hosted alone.

Because of this sudden academic fraud turmoil, Kim Sung-won decided to change the "Shengyuan Theory" that had been recorded in advance, and specially invited Mr. Kim Chang-gi to record a special episode, and invited Kim Tae-hee to come at the same time.

Kim Sung-won invited Kim Tae-hee to come for a clear purpose, which is to clarify her academic qualifications to the audience. In the show, Kim Tae-hee appeared as Kim Sung-won's senior sister at Seoul National University, and basically didn't have a few lines, mainly to sit and listen to the conversation between Kim Sung-won and Director Kim Chang-gi.

"Shengyuan Theory" can be said to be completely Kim Sungwon's own program, so he made this decision temporarily, Kwon Wusheng PD did not have any right to object, and he did not want to oppose it, but just carefully directed the staff to shoot.

In the show, Kim Sung-won also changed his usual casual dress, dressed in a formal suit, combed his hair neatly, put on a pair of black-framed glasses, and talked with Mr. Kim Chang-gi in very professional and high-level words.

The content of this conversation is the recent fake academic turmoil, mainly Kim Sung-won raised questions from various aspects, and Director Kim Chang-gi answered them one by one, during which Kim Sung-won would put forward some of his own views and those that were widely circulated in the outside world from time to time, and debated with Director Kim Chang-gi.

The content of this episode can be said to be very dry and tasteless, with almost no entertainment component, and even many adults and most high school students who watch it for leisure purposes basically do not understand the meaning of some words.

However, the ratings of this episode have risen steadily, and after the first 20 minutes, they have stabilized in a very high range, with occasional small fluctuations.

In order to express his gratitude to Kim Sung-won, Kim Tae-hee specially cooked a cold noodle for Kim Sung-won. To Kim Sung-won's surprise, the cold noodles made by Kim Tae-hee, who looked very squeamish on the outside, actually had a unique flavor and were really good. …,

Later, Kim Sung-won learned from Kim Hyung-so that Kim Tae-hee had been very fond of cold noodles since she was a child, but her family was worried about her nutrition and didn't let her eat more, so she learned to make it herself, and Kim Tae-hee would only make cold noodles.

……

After the show was broadcast, Kwon Wu Seung PD almost fell headlong when he received the statistical ratings report.

The reason is very simple, the average rating of this episode actually reached 10.1%, and the highest rating was 12.4%. In the previous episode of "Ha Ji Yuan", which had the highest ratings of "Shengyuan Theory", the highest rating was only about 10%, and the average rating was only 6%, which had shocked the entire program group.

Quan Wusheng read the report more than a dozen times, and only after being convinced of it was undoubtedly did he call Jiang Zhiyu with trembling hands.

In the cable TV industry, as long as the ratings exceed 1%, it will be evaluated as a popular program, and the double-digit ratings can be described as a miracle. And only when all viewers of cable TV tune in to a certain program can a 15% rating be achieved. It is conceivable what brilliant achievements this issue of "Shengyuan Theory" has created.

After Jiang Zhiyu received the call, his first thought was whether Quan Wusheng was drunk? It wasn't until Kwon Wusheng repeatedly reiterated it, and even did not hesitate to guarantee his work, that Jiang Zhiyu was shocked to believe this fact.

"It's a pity that Shengyuan Theory is only a cable TV program, and Shengyuan's age is too shallow." Jiang Zhiyu said "worriedly", he really has an urge to award this year's "Acting Awards" to Jin Shengyuan.

During the "X-MAN" period, SBS TV did not have a special acting award, so Kim Sung-won won nothing, and MBC TV's "Infinite Challenge" was that the ratings were too low in the first year, and in the second year, Yoo Jae-seok, haha, and Park Myung-so all won awards, and considering Kim Sung-won's age, MBC TV did not give him an award.

Of course, this thought was just Jiang Zhiyu's momentary excitement, and he couldn't really do it.

The reason why "Sungwon" was able to achieve such ratings was that the recent fake academic degree case played a role in promoting it, and secondly, the guest was Kim Chang-ki, the dean of academic affairs of Seoul National University--Kang Ji-woo did not expect Kim Sung-won to invite Kim Chang-gi to participate in this program.

The political treatment of teachers in South Korea is different from that of other countries. Professors at Seoul National University are appointed by the president himself, and professors can become prefects or vice-ministers (equivalent to Chinese ministers and bureau chiefs) when they leave the university to engage in politics.

Many viewers of cable television stations watch this program with the purpose of learning and edifying, and even if they don't understand some words, they won't change the channel, and even many parents who want their children to become Jackie Chan force their children to watch it on the sidelines -- regardless of whether they can understand it or not.

After the program aired, many cable TV viewers called in, strongly demanding that the content of future programs be changed to this way. Because they think they are different from ordinary people, and the content they watch is different from that of ordinary audiences, they need to show their "elite" status by watching this kind of academic and high-end program.

Moreover, most of the viewers who watch cable TV are indeed social elites, and they can understand this kind of content and are willing to watch this kind of content, which is a matter of face and social status, and it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the strict society of South Korea.

Kim Sung-won did not expect that this episode of the program would have such a big impact, and more than half of the media reprinted it, not to mention, the "Chosun Ilbo" even deliberately opened up a section to publish a large number of dialogues between him and Director Kim Chang-ki, and even the theme of the section directly quoted the three Chinese characters of "Shengyuan Theory".

Although Kim Tae-hee only appeared in a few scenes in the show, the waves questioning her academic qualifications seemed to be suppressed by a mountain peak falling from the sky, and it disappeared in an instant.

At the beginning of the program, Professor Kim Chang-gi clearly showed all his journeys from elementary school to university, from teacher to professor, which made it impossible for people to question it.

It is precisely because of his rigorous attitude that many people admit him from the bottom of their hearts, and Jin Shengyuan was able to have a wonderful discussion with him, which shocked many viewers who were not familiar with him. It turns out that Jin Shengyuan is not only a language genius who knows the "seven foreign languages", but also has the idea of matching shijie.

On the Internet, the content in this issue of "Shengyuan Theory" was widely reprinted, and a sentence added by a netizen after the reprinted content out of a spoof swept the entire Internet in just a few days and became the hottest buzzword at the moment-yah! Can you read it?

According to a post-mortem survey, the vast majority of the viewers who watched this episode of "Shengyuan Theory" were social elites between the ages of 30 and 40, who were either teachers, working in large companies, or having their own careers......

These people strongly demanded that "Shengyuan Theory" be made an elite program, suitable only for the programs they watched. After discussing with Jin Shengyuan, the program team said that they would try their best to consider it, but it could not be revised yet.

Even Kim Sung-won must admit that the ratings of this episode of the show were a surprise, and if this style continues, everyone is not sure whether they can maintain this rating. After all, it is impossible for this kind of turmoil to sweep the entire society often, and it is impossible for Kim Sung-won to invite a guest of Professor Kim Chang-gi's status every time.

Everything needs to be done with caution.

However, the ratings of this episode of the show are really inclusive. That night, Jin Shengyuan invited the staff of the program team to dinner. As the host of a program, after the ratings increased significantly, he invited the program team to dinner, and Kim Sung-won was the only one in South Korea.

The celebration banquet was held in a hotel outside, and the eyes of the staff of the program team when they looked at Kim Sung-won was, in the words of Park Jung-yoon, "full of awe". When a person's ability is beyond their imagination, a trace of "fear" will naturally arise from admiration.

What's more, all the staff have understood Jin Shengyuan's status in this show, and naturally they will no longer treat him with the eyes of ordinary hosts.
