Average viewer rating 1.1%.
The average viewership rating in the metropolitan area is 1.3%.
Highest viewership per minute: 1.9%.
Some people may tilt their heads when they see records that are in the 1% range, but in fact, this was a very encouraging record.
M Show has never achieved great results in self-produced entertainment, and Coming Up Next has a weakness in that it is an in-house survival of a specific entertainment.
Therefore, M Show's entertainment director set the target viewership rating for Coming Up Next at 1.9%.
Of course, I told PD Kang Seok-woo to get at least 2.5%, but deep down, I thought I could get a pat on the shoulder if I got more than 1.5%.
However, in the metropolitan area, it was 1.3%.
It was a very satisfying start.
Of course, there are those who say that the first broadcast is the high point and that it will gradually decline.
Representative examples include MBS, KBN, and SBN.
But would a public broadcaster, the mainstay of the broadcasting industry, pour out harsh criticism over trivial matters?
Coming Up Next being criticized means being checked.
Being checked means there is a possibility.
because.
'Isn't the direction of the buzz unusual?'
'Why is this clip's view count so high?'
This was because the buzz related to Coming Up Next did not feel like it flared up all at once and then died out like in PC.
Rather, there is a feeling of a virtuous cycle.
People who enjoyed the program create related content, and those who watched such content visit the program.
Programs and Content.
The fact that interest continues to circulate, which would end even if only one of the two is poor, is proof that this is not an issue that will cool down any time soon.
And at the center... … .
"Wow, does this work?"
"What year is this song from?"
There was a song called
* * *
On the first day of release, Hansion's
It was a good enough result.
Because Han Si-on does not have a reasonable fandom, and Coming Up Next is not an audition that garners national attention.
Being in the top 100 means that you have been chosen by numerous stores that play
This is very important.
It's not for nothing that the difference in copyright revenue between the 100th and 101st places on the music charts is enormous.
Nevertheless, PD Kang Seok-woo felt disappointed and decided to watch for now.
But the next day.
"hmm?"
The music ranking rose to 51st.
PD Kang Seok-woo thought there must be some reason because his ranking suddenly rose by 38 places.
A famous singer mentioned it on his social media, or a famous creator filmed a reaction video.
Otherwise, the clip video was selected by YouTube's algorithm.
But that wasn't everything.
SNS buzz, search volume, and video clip views are steadily trending upward, but there was no special trigger.
Then what is the meaning?
'Is it possible that the music charts are cakes right now?'
That may be so.
There may be imaginary numbers in the performance of competing music sources that form the back of the Top 100 chart.
Just like when you stab a cake with a fork and it goes soft, the power of the sound source under the streetlight may have been stronger.
But this only works up to rank 50.
The public considers the title 'No. 1 on the music charts' as nothing special, but in fact, it is a huge deal.
This means that it is the song that Koreans listened to the most at a certain point in time.
'I hope we break into the top 50.'
Kang Seok-woo thought so and waited for the third day.
And then something amazing happened.
22. Under the streetlight (new)(hot)
The music ranking rose again by 29 places, settling at 22nd place.
Even the upward momentum was sparked.
-Wow, it's been a while since I heard this song.
-I laughed at it because it felt like someone had remade it haha. I like it;;
- It reminds me of the old days haha. I sang it a lot when I was a college student.
-Jo Ki-jeong was the sound of the group in our time.
-I was born in 2002... My peers also like this song...
-ㅁㅊㅋ If you were born in 2002, aren't you sixteen?
-What entertainment is this called?
-It's called Coming Up Next. The one on M Show.
As the ranking goes up, more people join, and as more people join, the ranking goes up.
Now Kang Seok-woo is confused.
'Surely there was no reason?'
I thought I might not have figured it out, so I instructed the writers, but the result was the same.
They also didn't know why this song started flying so high.
It was while interviewing new producers who were taking the entrance exam in March that Kang Seok-woo learned the correct answer.
"I'd like to hear your predictions about what future broadcasting trends will be."
In the last question, which was the national rule of the broadcasting station, the name
"Trends go to the future and memories go to the past, but if you just ride the trend, memories also have the power to go to the future... … ."
The interviewee then concluded his answer by mixing thoughts on popularity under the streetlight and the latest trends.
The answer itself was trash, but Kang Seok-woo had no choice but to slap his knee.
The reason for the high-altitude march was simple.
The power of song selection.
And the power of Han Zion's song.
A long prelude, a calm and lyrical performance, a verse that seems boring but moves forward little by little, and a chorus that explodes.
All old bands influenced by progressive rock or art rock had one or two songs like this.
Nevertheless, Jo Ki-jeong's band was loved under the street lights for a particularly long time.
This means that it is a good song, and that it is a song that many people have fond memories of.
What would happen if such a song was heard on the street?
Some people will be able to search for a song they had completely forgotten about.
Even if you were confident right now, weren't you glad to hear this song while filming the program?
This was the power of song selection.
The second was the power of Han Zion's song.
No further explanation is needed here.
Just, Han Zion's song was great.
In fact, since Kang Seok-woo listened to the fully arranged
But that was only a relative feeling, and it was a great enough song.
Thanks to this, it appealed even to young consumers who had no memories of the original song.
That's not all.
'Kids these days call this kind of thing hip.'
Since there hasn't been a song with this feeling recently, a point of difference emerged.
Is the song good?
I searched and found that it was the rock that swept the 90s?
Do you have a feeling?
This was the impression I got.
Kang Seok-woo, who learned the truth, could not help but be impressed.
Until now, I thought Coming Up Next was pushing Under the Streetlight.
But it was the opposite.
Under the streetlight, Coming Up Next is being pushed.
As a result, the program's rerun viewership and IPTV payment rates were unusually high.
And finally, on the 4th day of release.
7. Under the streetlight (new)(hot)
Hansion's Under the Streetlight entered the Top 10.
It was hard to believe that the music from episode 1 of an in-house survival audition program achieved such success.
* * *
-I'm really, really angry. How can we prevent music hoarding?
-Wow, this is truly a destruction of humanity. Something like this is in 4th place.
-So who is Han Si-On? Haha, am I the only one who doesn't know?
-ㅇㅇ I don't know either.
-Where is your company?
- Haha, that's so funny. Is music hoarding under the streetlight? I'm going to come see the 1st place in Ingeup-dong haha.
-whatever. Since it has been a huge hit with hoarding, it is also flowing into Coming Up Next.
-Other than CUN (short for Coming Up Next), the reaction video of the three vocal leaders is number one~
-The way you talk is like shit.
- Hahaha, look at the centipede's light up because he couldn't line up the chart.
-I can guarantee that Han Si-on will take first place within this week. Oh my.
-Sajaeginam broke his vocal cords in a car accident on the 3rd day. If you didn't hoard, it's not your story.

The Korean community is like this.
As I am looking at the community Jaeseong Choi told me about, I can clearly see how it is different from communities in the English-speaking world.
The comments there are direct.
I wouldn't say it's 100%, but there are more people who state their intentions directly.
In contrast, the Korean community has a sarcastic feel.
Maybe it's because of the insult law in Korea?
At that moment, someone snatched my cell phone.
When I looked up to see something, I saw Onsaemiro.
"Don't look at this."
"why?"
"It's a malicious comment."
this?
To call it a malicious comment, wouldn't it have to be something like a 'fashion orphan' or a 'suspicion of attempted kin murder'?
Well, I didn't think anything of it afterward.
In fact, after living as a celebrity for so long, I have become detached from malicious comments.
It's not like I ignore it and it doesn't matter, and it doesn't mean I'm okay because I endure it.
I just have no idea.
Probably because it is possible to otherize oneself.
Being hurt by someone else's slander means not being able to withstand attacks on the unchangeable being called 'me'.
But I can completely change 'me'.
It is possible to live the life of a harsh and sensitive perfectionist vocalist, and then to live as a badass rapper who spits out the raw truth.
Of course, because of this, I had to be prescribed antidepressant medication, and I almost suffered from schizophrenia.
Well, I guess Onsaemi said that because she was worried about me.
Would you like to be a little more gentle?
"Thank you for your concern, but this is nothing."
"how?"
"huh?"
"How can you be okay? "Other people's criticism."
"Take it as interesting. In a way, I manipulated people, right? "Because I made people like this who wouldn't have behaved like this if I hadn't been there."
"… … ."
It was a sincere piece of advice, but On Sae-mi gave him his cell phone and disappeared.
Will puberty come late?
He is a strangely crooked guy.
After that, I figured out the general mood of the public through internet searches.
The current music ranking is 4th, and the weekly search word ranking is 8th.
Considering that the 1st to 3rd places are stories related to politics, I think it is about 5th place in the content field.
What I like more than anything is that my songs are being reproduced.
Music-related YouTubers cover or analyze songs, and famous singers also upload cover videos.
Additionally, although the number of views may seem small, the response from creators who produce composition-related content is enthusiastic.
Usually there are three things they say about me: the first is 'amazing', the second is 'suspicious', and the third is 'lucky'.
People who say it's amazing are purely admiring it, and people who are skeptical are doubting whether I really created this.
The last category is luck.
[This is theoretically possible, but it cannot be made by intentionally modifying it one by one.]
[I think it was probably a bit of luck. I used a vocal line that came up while making another song, and guess what? Does it suit you well? Something like this.]
[Even so, the ability to express this accurately is amazing.]
It was the type that did not modify the vocal line with intention.
