netflix's first survival show is stirring up debate

Much to many people's shock NETFLIX has announced it will be airing a Kpop survival show that appears to have similarities to the infamous MNET produce series. This will be the first major kpop survival show since the mass rigging scandal blew up. It will also be one of Netflix's first shows to air once a week, as well as have a voting format. Many fans are confused and excited.

The show has already revealed its A-list cast of mentors, like Hyuna and Donghyun.  What most netizens seem to be confused by is that the rumoured brains behind the show rookie journalist Kwon Woojin, will also be an MC causing confusion due to him having no previous experience in that kind of role. Some of his old opinion pieces have already been dug up that express his hatred for the K-pop industry.

The show's description claims to not be just a survival show, but also somewhat of an investigative look into the industry. Many fans are sceptical of this wondering if it's just a ploy to make viewers trust the show. The fact one of the primary producers behind the show is Kim Jung-hoon who is well known for his work on low-brow reality shows, as well as being a producer on the first season of produce 101, definitely isn't a good look. However, some netizens have pointed out that director Lee Junsu is involved, famous for his critically acclaimed dramas. And most notably backing the show is documentation and journalist Jo Jaehwa who is well known for her investigative pieces and she has even helped to get some corrupt people behind bars.

Many fans are waiting excitedly for any more news behind this enigma of a show.

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Wow! This looks amazing! If I saw this and didn't know where it had come from, I would legit think it was an actual kprofiles.com page. I'm getting more and more excited about this story.

As for main characters, I don't think you should announce them. I think it would discourage people to learn that their character isn't going to be a main character. Also, if I understand correctly how this fic is going to work, won't the voting affect who's going to be main characters?

Edited to add: OMG I just noticed that you put them in order by age! That is so kprofiles!

Chapter 19: Have you heard of the Korean entertainer Harisu? She's clearly older than Jisoo is supposed to but maybe you could use older pictures of her (and we can pretend that she's just older looking). Between your choices, I'd vote for the thai celeb. Racebending is not ideal but I think it's a better option than using a cis woman for a trans character.

Chapter 19: Hello, this is the author for Jeon So-hee's character! I am still active but I really am only active for this story (which I'm still excited for)! So-hee has the same height and weight as Jeon Somi (172cm, 46kg).

Regarding Jisoo's faceclaim, I think that given how you are considering the pros and cons of each option, you would do either with great care. I think that using a cis-female Korean celebrity for Jisoo's fc would be preferable, though I would suggest putting a disclaimer somewhere so people know you are aware the new fc is not trans, and that you are not maliciously mis-gendering someone (which we, the applicants, already know). I agree that race-bending is not great and that it is a sensitive topic, given that a lot of Western media doesn't care to distinguish between Asian people from different companies and simply lumps everyone in together. Ultimately, it's still up to you though and I hope that whatever you decide works out!

Chapter 18: Hi sorry, please take note that I changed Yumi's fc to CSR Geumhee as I no longer feel comfortable using Yeojin as a fc due to the severe abuse Loona had suffered.
