Mnet Content Management Leader Kang Ji Hoon reveals Mnet will suspend production of audition programs

[fromisEJel]

They will focus more on programs with music

Sounds great. There were too many survivals either way.

 

[Pyron]

Well at least they seem to know what to do to properly deal with it. Hopefully we see more concrete plans on how they will compensate the trainees and the future of IZONE and X1.

This Soompi article https://www.soompi.com/article/1372...ys-mnet-will-no-longer-make-audition-programs states that they won't do any more survival programs, but would call them audition programs instead. But planning to concentrate on music programs.

"When asked if Mnet won’t be producing any more survival programs after this, Kang Ji Hoon replied, “I think it’s better to call it an audition program than a survival program, but we’re planning to avoid that kind of program and create content that focuses more on music.” "

Significantly, though understandably since the trial is ongoing (innocent until proven guilty, though the confessions are apparently true), Mnet’s Content Operations Strategy Team Manager Kang Ji Hoon waffled about any questions and upset the Korea Communications Standards Commission with his non-answers.

"After Kang Ji Hoon left, the members of the committee decided to request additional data, and they are reserving judgement on sanctions against the network at the moment until they receive it.

The members said, “Usually when there is an incident on a television show, they will go through a very minimal process and a representative will come here and say something like ‘We’ve done an investigation and there was such-and-such an issue.’ However today, he didn’t give us any sort of answer. It’s to the point that we’re doubtful that they even discussed this internally within the company.”"

Maybe they did something right for a change. I would love it if we had programs that were geared towards music.​

sad cause i wanted one more girls season sdfghj
but this is for the best truly, kind of interested in what kind of music programs they have in mind

 

[Nayeonnie]

Long overdue yeah, but I'll still miss it a lot, their survivors with all the evil editing were my favorites, and Ik there are others but it isn't the same.
