On the night of the 28th, MBN, a general programming channel, broadcast the first round of the finals of ‘Burning Trotman’ starring Hwang Young-woong, who had not a few requests to get off due to numerous controversies such as school violence and assault injury, discipline in the military, and assault on his girlfriend. As the second couple in the first round of the first round of the finals, Hwang Young-woong paired up with Park Min-soo and sang, but she selected Yoo Jin-pyo’s ‘Thousand Years’. The lyrics of the song ‘You’re such a good friend’ kept getting stuck in my heart.
Despite repeated requests to get off, the production team posted a picture of Hwang Young-woong smiling broadly with a greeting saying “Thank you” on the program’s official social network service (SNS), and promoted it by uploading captions and photos of ‘Hwang Young-woong’ on previously aired programs.
Meanwhile, Hwang Young-woong, a finalist for ‘Burning Trotman’, was suspected of committing assault in the past. On the 25th, he admitted his mistake and said, “I am sincerely sorry for hurting a friend who was close to me. I will meet in person to express my apology and ask for forgiveness. Please forgive my shortcomings and mistakes.” The production team also said on the same day, “Hwang Young-woong was fined 500,000 won by the prosecution’s summary indictment. I think Hwang Young-woong will also have unfair parts.”
However, while airing the program that day, the production team thoroughly ignored Hwang Young-woong’s embarrassing and embarrassing situation and pretended not to know. It was understandable that it was difficult to get Hwang Young-woong off as he ranked first in the cumulative vote of the national cheering squad until the finals on this day, and reached the final with first place in the semi-finals. However, I wondered if the production team was staying with the thought that if the viewer ratings are good, he will stop.
On the other hand, in addition to the controversy over violence, Hwang Young-woong raised suspicions of the production team’s push. Regarding this, the production team refuted that it is impossible to intervene because the people’s real-time text voting is the most decisive score according to the final scoring method.
The second leg of the ‘Burning Trotman’ final will continue at 9:40 pm next Wednesday, and the first trotman will be decided. The winning prize has already exceeded 690 million won before the finals, and it is expected to reach 800 million won after the second round of the finals next week.
