'The patriarch of the audition world' Lee Seung-Chul's two-year magnum opus has been unveiled.
On the first broadcast, which aired at 8 p.m. on the 8th, ENA's THE SCOUT: the reborn star (hereinafter 'The Scout', released every Friday at 8 p.m.) gathered a dazzling 'masters' lineup led by Lee Seung-Chul, including Kim Jaejoong, Wendy, DAY6's Young K, and Choo Sung Hoon. In particular, this program is a project that Lee Seung-Chul planned with great care for as long as two years, focusing not simply on judging but on the 'growth' of raw talents, showing a sincerity differentiated from existing auditions.
The highlight of the broadcast that day was Lee Seung-Chul's sharp yet affectionate 'fact bombing.' He delivered a shocking solution to the scene by telling Kim Yusin, who ranked first in the pre-vote, "Don't praise for a while." On the other hand, to Park Junseong, who drew attention for his 'Nam Joo-hyuk boyish charm,' he showed his reverse appeal by offering direct coaching, saying, "Your vocal tone and vibrato are good."
When the 17 muses were revealed, the masters' competition to scout them also burst into flames.
Kim Jaejoong expressed fandom toward Jo Yoon-chan, who has a unique aura, saying, "I love that tilted posture," and early on designated Kwon Eebin as his 'one pick.' Wendy sharply captured the participants' talents and shone with timely judging comments such as "cuteness is also skill." Young K positioned himself at the center of the scramble by actively appealing, telling singer-songwriter Lee Jin, "I can help you."
Immediately after the broadcast, online communities and social media were filled with praise for 'The Scout.' With the mass appearance of participants who combined visuals and talent, viewers are already showing signs of strong fandom formation.
"A properly done music variety show has come out after a long time. You can feel the sincerity," "They said Lee Seung-Chul honed and made this, and as expected the class is different," "I've already decided my one pick, how can I wait until next week," and other reactions.
In the pre-vote revealed at the end of the first broadcast, Kim Yusin proved a strong presence by placing first with 11.54% of the vote.<
