After two years, The Community 2 returned with a new season and revealed viewing highlights two days before its release.
The Wave original The Community 2: The Invisible Hand (hereinafter The Community 2), which will be released on the 4th, is a social experiment survival in which participants holding different resources must survive and compete for prize money solely through transactions.
Following season 1, which received much praise for its original concept as the country's first ideology survival, season 2 promises a more intense and unpredictable social experiment by introducing a new system called "resources and transactions" and being a team competition rather than an individual one.
Ahead of the first release, four viewing points were introduced that will make The Community 2 much more enjoyable to watch.
▲ negotiation or war..human desire in the face of survival
Following season 1, where people with different values such as politics, gender and class competed in a survival show, season 2 expands the game by creating a new "rule" of resources and transactions. Participants wage fierce battles involving collusion, negotiation and even threats to obtain limited resources, including life items directly tied to survival.
Not all agreements can be reached in a survival. Ultimately, the moment transactions collapse, conflicts escalate into war. Attention is focused on whether The Community 2, which does not hesitate to attempt to seize an opponent's resources, can maintain a peaceful utopia or will end in catastrophe.
▲ beliefs shouted in words: can they be said the same way even in the face of survival?
The belief codes and pro-con debates that received the most praise in season 1 continue in season 2. With unique value codes assigned through pretests, discussions take place every night over dilemmas with no correct answers.
But unlike season 1, season 2 adds the direct stakes of "resources and survival," raising the question of whether professed beliefs will hold when a player's team and survival are on the line, and these variations add to the interest.
▲ just because they're on the same team, are they "on our side"?..solidarity and fractures
Unlike season 1, which was individual, season 2 is played as a team competition. The survival begins with four teams: White, Blue, Red and Black.
From the White team of Gary Kim, Nucks, Lee Han, Shin Hyewon, Park Se-seung and Lee Hyun-seon, to the Blue team of Lee Soo-min, Im Ji-eun and Lee Ji-na, the Red team of Seungwoo's father, Park Cheol-hyun and Lee Jae-yong, and the Black team of the sole solo member Jung Jae-ho, combinations with different numbers and dispositions have been completed.
In particular, although each team bands together to survive, because the leader holds a team member's "life" as a representative, curiosity remains about whether solidarity for joint survival can continue even in situations where the team's survival and individual interests conflict, and how relationships will change.
▲ added "game" to the social experiment..three PDs joining forces
Kwon Seong-min, who led the Blue Dragon Series Awards' best program award in the entertainment and institutional sector for Thought verification zone: The Community, is also overseeing season 2. He teamed up with Lee Ji-hoon, who participated in Thought verification zone: The Community, Zombieverse and The Great Escape, and Kim Jeong-hoon, who worked on Zombieverse 2, Comedy Royal and Survival Men and Women, to raise the completeness of season 2.
People are increasingly curious about how the new devices created by the three producers will affect the participants, and what ripple effects the participants' brain games, psychological warfare and resulting variables will cause.
Meanwhile, Wavve's The Community 2: The Invisible Hand will premiere Friday, Sept. 4.
