We have a week of entertainment news every Friday morning.

Netflix entertainment show "Black and White Cook" ended with the world's No. 1 ranking. Let's take a look at the secret to its popularity.

In addition, Newzins member Hani said she will attend the parliamentary audit alone.

This week's entertainment industry news, YTN Star, will talk to a public stock reporter.

{Black and White Chef' is really popular, isn't it? How long ago did it end as it ranked No. 1 in the world?

[Reporter]
Yes, "evenly", "tight", "it's me".

Have you heard this before?

All of them are quotes from 'Black and White Cooks' and judges, and they are spreading like a buzzword now.There are so many global fans that it is said to be a squid game in the cooking survival world of

.

It is a so-called "class war" in which unknown chefs come out as "black spoon" and challenge the already famous star chefs, "white spoon."

The total number of participants was 100 and the prize money was 300 million won.

Online, not only influencer and comedians but also ordinary Internet users are proving their popularity by posting videos parodying popular scenes.

What is the secret to the success of entertainment, not dramas, in OTT, not on public television?

[Reporter]
There are various factors, but first of all, I think two judges, Jongwon Baek Ahn Sung-jae, who are so different in texture, drove the popularity.

Jongwon Baek, you are a representative of the restaurant industry that has dealt with a lot of common people's food, right?

But Ahn Sung-jae is also not easy.

He is the only Michelin three-star chef in Korea, and you can see that the two of them are different in color, but they are all talented.

Jongwon Baek's popularity of taste and Ahn Sung-jae's satisfaction of food were the criteria for evaluation, so the evaluation of the two was also driven to a confrontational structure.

Existing survival entertainment shows drew more attention because they had only two judges, compared to having as many as five to six judges.

The second secret to its popularity is that it eventually led to the development of overturning the class.

The final winner was also discharged from the black spoon.

As the blind screening covered with eye patches and the ability to operate a restaurant through team matches were evaluated, the barrier of "recognition" that someone had first was broken down.

He also gained public sympathy for his own stories, such as learning to cook through comic books or participating in the event to find the identity of Koreans as immigrants.

[Anchor]
I heard that their ripple effect is enormous, so what part is it?

[Reporter]
The most visible thing is the revitalization of the restaurant industry.

The restaurant run by the cast has already been difficult to make a reservation because there were so many people waiting from the beginning of the broadcast, and some of the competition missions had to be cooked only with ingredients from convenience stores, but the chef's food, which won first place here, has already been released at convenience stores.

Entertainment shows that have been stagnant are also gaining vitality.

And it's a combination of chef and entertainer, so-called 'chef tainer'.

Broadcaster chefs, who had slowed down for a while, are now back on various entertainment shows.

But there is also something of concern.

Among the performers, the person who spoke out a little strongly in the team match complained that it was difficult because of the enormous malicious comments.

In addition, Chinese netizens who saw the cooking technique called "Bath" presented by a Chinese chef during the competition made negative comments, such as "Koreans will steal Chinese cooking culture" and "Jongwon Baek is a great thief."

There was also a controversy over the production team.

The survival rates of black spoon and white spoon matched similarly, and there was also a "controversy over the development of the trend.

Let's move on to the next news, this time it's a movie.

The movie 'Veteran 2', which was released around Chuseok, has more than 7 million viewers.

[Reporter]
Yes, the mega-hit movie "Veteran," which attracted about 13 million viewers when it was released in 2015, has returned as a sequel in nine years.

In line with the era of digital crime, more diverse types of crimes, such as private sanctions, cyberrecker issues, drugs and fake news, were reflected than in the first film.

It exceeded 7.12 million viewers by yesterday.

It is the fourth film released this year by more than 7 million people, following "The Tomb of the Dead," "The Outlaws 4" and "Inside Out 2."

Hwang Jung-min, an actor who came out last season, played a veteran detective, and this time, actor Jung Hae-in, who is the youngest detective in New Face, drew attention as he played the villain for the first time in his life.

However, some predict that it will be difficult to exceed 10 million for two consecutive movies as there are some likes and dislikes of the movie.

However, in the Korean film industry, which has fallen into a recession after giving OTT the lead after the pandemic, the "Veteran" series has become another popular franchise movie other than "The Outlaws."

[Anchor]
But if it's nine years before the sequel comes out, it's taken a long time, so why?

[Reporter]
Yes, as many fans waited, coach Ryu Seung-wan explained the reason himself for this.

Earlier, season 1 received unexpected great love, and such success made director Ryu think a lot.

Director Ryu told the behind-the-scenes story that he couldn't easily make a sequel even though he had his ideas and stories, especially watching similar genres of movies and dramas and movies that implement justice that impose personal sanctions like "Veteran 2" get a great response.

So, I think nine years is a time when the director's concerns about creation are melted.

New Jin's member Hani has announced that she will attend the National Assembly's parliamentary audit. What will be covered?

[Reporter]
Yes, the so-called 'New Jinx incident', has been going on for more than half a year.

Hani said he would appear alone at the upcoming parliamentary audit on the 15th to testify as a reference in connection with the recent allegations of bullying in Hive.

Earlier, Hani revealed that she had been ostracized within the Hive. In the hallway, a group of managers saw themselves and said, "Ignore you."

In the end, the National Assembly's Environment and Labor Committee decided to call Hani as a reference at the parliamentary audit to examine the workplace harassment problem. Kim Joo-young, CEO of the agency, Adore, was adopted as a witness.

However, some said that the current idol would stand at the National Assembly, even though the reference person is not required to attend, Hani said on the 9th that she would go to the parliamentary audit alone through the fan communication community.

I also added that I decided to go out for myself, the members, and the fans.

[Anchor]
However, the manager, who was actually identified as the perpetrator, denied this.

[Reporter]
Yes, Billifrap, the agency of the group to which the manager belongs, confronts that this is not true after CCTV and investigation of the person concerned.

However, parents of Newzins are protesting that CCTV footage of certain scenes has been deleted.

Eyelet is about to make a comeback in the music industry with the release of her second album on the 21st, but from Hive's side, the fire has fallen on the top of her foot.

Attention is focusing on whether the contents at the National Assembly will be an inflection point for the "New Jin's Crisis."
