ABS TV officially started broadcasting on September 30, 2004. ABS's main news program is "ABS News 30 Minutes" which is broadcast every morning at 7:30.
ABS TV's music show is "The Sound" which is broadcast every Monday night. The English name is "The Sound". The show will count the top 50 songs in the previous week's music rankings, and then invite singers to participate in the music show.
The ranking of "The Sound of Life" is determined by 50% of last week's audio sales data + 40% of online voting and 10% of on-site voting. There is no limit to the number of times one can vote.
"The Sound" has opened an official homepage on the inschool website. Before each episode is broadcast, fans who support the singers can vote for their favorite singers through the inschool website.
The first episode of "Sound of Life" on October 4 has invited popular singers such as Shinhwa, TVXQ, Kim Jong Kook, Lee Hyori, Park Hyo Shin, Rain, Ko Yoo Tae, Chae Yeon, Baek Ji Young, etc. to participate in the song promotion stage. Fans who like KPOP music are already looking forward to the broadcast of the show, and they commented that this episode is a battle of gods.
If ABS TV station did not have the support of SA Group, one of the top ten financial conglomerates, it would be impossible for it to invite the most popular singers in Korea to compete on the same show.
If the most popular female singer in 2003 was Baek Ji-young, then the most popular female singer in the Korean music industry in 2004 was Chae Yeon. Once the prelude of Chae Yeon's song "Two People", "Na Na Na Nan Nan Na", sounded, people couldn't help but hum along.
If the most popular female singer is Chae Yeon, then the most popular group must be TVXQ.
This boy band debuted in 2003 and has won multiple first places in three music programs: KBS's "Music Bank", MBC's "Inkigayo", and SBS's "Inkigayo". TVXQ is more popular than Shinhwa, which left SM Entertainment and set up its own company.
The success of BoA and TVXQ's consecutive debuts in the Japanese market also boosted SM Entertainment's stock price. Kim Young-min and Lee Soo-man will focus their main attention on the boy band Super Junior, which will debut next year.
The first president of ABS was Zhou Dongyong, who resigned from the post of chairman of the Korea Communications Commission and became the president of ABS TV. The former president of MBC TV was nominated as the chairman of the Korea Communications Commission.
Because of this personnel appointment, ABS is considered to be the propaganda mouthpiece of the ruling Millennium Democratic Party, even though it is disguised as a private television station.
The first news program "North-South Dialogue" aired on Saturday also illustrates this point.
Lee Hyun-jin, the host of "North-South Dialogue", went to the news front line to interview Korean tourists on the tourist line from Jujin Station to Goseong Station. She also interviewed Kim Dong-shin, chairman of the North Korean Asia-Pacific Peace Committee, at the Sheng'an Hotel in the Mount Kumgang International Tourist Area.
This is also the first time that a senior North Korean official has accepted an exclusive interview with a South Korean TV station, which is a historic first.
In addition to Kim Dong-shin, South Korean member of parliament Zhou Mengxian also accepted an interview with "North-South Dialogue".
During the interview, Zhou Mengxian highly praised the hard work of both sides of the ROK and DPRK for the opening of the tourist line from Jujin Station to Goseong Station. This tourist line is not only a road to prosperity, bringing more tourists to the Mount Kumgang International Tourist Area, but also a road to peace. More and more separated Korean families have traveled to Mount Kumgang via the tourist line and successfully met their long-lost North Korean relatives in Mount Kumgang.
In addition to Jujin Station and Goseong Station, the railway from Wenshan Station in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea to Kaesong Station in North Korea on the Gyeongui Line of the South Korean-North Korean Railway is also being repaired with the help of railway technicians from both sides. It is expected that this railway will be officially opened to traffic by the end of the year. This also means that the first phase of the South Korean-North Korean Railway has been successfully completed.
At that time, the goods of Korean companies in the Kaesong Industrial Park will be able to be transported directly to Wenshan Station by rail, then transferred to Incheon Port, and then sold to the world.
After the broadcast of "North-South Dialogue", South Korea's conservative Grand National Party made personnel adjustments, and Grand National Party Deputy Representative Zheng Jinhui was elected as the Supreme Committee of the Grand National Party.
This is the first time since the founding of South Korea that a female candidate has become the leader of a major political party in South Korea. The previous leader, Lee Chang-hui, was abandoned by the Grand National Party members, and after Lee Guangxue was arrested, they needed fresh blood to speak for the conservatives.
In fact, Zheng Jinhui became the deputy party representative of the Grand National Party in 2000. She criticized Lee Changhui, the supreme committee member of the Grand National Party, during the 2002 Grand National Party presidential candidate internal election.
At that time, Zheng Jinhui demanded that the Grand National Party separate party power from general power and adopt a campaign method that involves the participation of the people. At that time, Lee Changhui and Lee Guangxue formed an alliance and suppressed Zheng Jinhui's opposition.
Let's put it this way, the Grand National Party is different from the ruling Millennium Democratic Party. Lee Chang-hui was the leader of the Grand National Party at the time and held all the power, so he was automatically nominated as the Grand National Party's 2002 presidential candidate.
At that time, Jung Jin-hui also wanted to participate in the presidential election, so she asked the Grand National Party to adopt the same party election method as the New Millennium Democratic Party to select the presidential candidate. Jung Jin-hui was hailed as the election queen and won every election.
If the Grand National Party adopts the method of voter voting to select the Grand National Party's presidential candidate, it is hard to say whether Lee Chang-hui can still become the Grand National Party's presidential candidate in 2002.
After being rejected, Zheng Jinhui quit the Grand National Party in anger and formed the Future Korea Alliance Party. Later, after Lee Guangxue got into trouble, Zheng Jinhui decisively returned to the Grand National Party and has always been at the center of power of the conservative party.
Zheng Jinhui went to Pyeonggyeong in 2002 and was received by the leader of Pyeonggyeong. Although she advocated easing the relationship between North Korea and South Korea, she has always advocated further isolating North Korea in economic and international relations to force North Korea to give up the development of mushroom bombs to deal with North Korea's missile threats.
So when the first episode of "South-North Dialogue" was broadcast, Zheng Jinhui made critical remarks. She believed that the Song Yuxi government was too soft on North Korea, and that North Korea's foreign exchange income from the Mount Kumgang International Tourist Zone and the Kaesong Industrial Park would further help North Korea develop new missile weapons.
Although Zheng Jinhui nominally directed her criticism at the Song Woo-seok government, she was actually targeting the SA Foundation and Song Yi.
However, interestingly, Song Yi did not comment on Zheng Jinhui's remarks, and "ABS News 30 Minutes" also broadcast Zheng Jinhui's remarks in full.
Zhou Dongyong questioned that he felt it was unnecessary to broadcast Zheng Jinhui's remarks, and the news content could focus on the propaganda of the ruling party's achievements, such as the Seoul Forest Park project built by the Seoul City Government at a huge cost.
The Seoul Forest Park project is actually a subsidiary project of the Cheonggyecheon Stream renovation project. The restored Cheonggyecheon Stream flows to Jukdo Island and then to the Han River, merging with the Han River.
For Seoul citizens who have no conditions to go out to escape the summer heat, Jukdo Island is their summer water-friendly space. Jukdo Island was also the hunting ground of the Joseon king during the Joseon Dynasty, and has also been developed into a water source, golf course and horse racing track in modern times.
According to the estimation of the Seoul City Government, if the entire Jumdo Island is developed into a high-end residential area, it will bring 4 trillion won in revenue to the city government. However, the Park Dong-ho government did the opposite and built it into a large forest park, a large forest oxygen bar located on the banks of the Han River. This also reflects the people-oriented policy of the Seoul City Government.
Seoul Forest Park has become a symbol of Seoul's urban forest, just like New York's Central Park or London's Hyde Park.
Song Hye Kyo and Rain co-starred in the TV series "Full House" this year, and a dating scene in Seoul Forest Park appeared. After the TV series was broadcast, young couples in Seoul had another dating spot. The Seoul Police Department had to arrange police officers to patrol the park to prevent vicious cases from happening.
Song Yi convinced Zhou Dongyong himself, "President Zhou, you have to know that voters, like netizens, are forgetful."
"The Cheonggyecheon renovation project has not yet been completed, and the Jukdo Forest Park is only part of the Seoul Forest Park project. The Seoul City Government will also build four other forest parks in other locations for Seoul citizens to rest and play."
"If we publicize Uncle Park's achievements at this time, it can only help Uncle Park win re-election as mayor of Seoul. If the Grand National Party wins a majority of seats in the National Assembly, Uncle Song will become a lame duck president, and the policies introduced by the government will be rejected by the National Assembly, which will not be good for the Korean economy." Song Yi said.
Zhou Dongyong thought about it and had to admit that Song Yi's considerations were more thorough. If ABS deliberately broadcast only positive news about the ruling party, it would not be consistent with the original positioning of ABS TV station.
The official slogan of ABS TV is "Focus on Korea, Look at Asia". Unlike MBC and SBS, ABS and KBS are the only two wireless TV stations in Korea that focus on current affairs news in Asian countries.
Zhou Dongyong said to Song Yi: "The relationship between the president and the media has never been good. He is too blunt and easily offends people. Therefore, the party has high expectations for ABS TV. We hope to have a voice channel outside of the three major wireless TV stations. Otherwise, I will not return to work at the TV station."
Since the application for wireless TV station, Song Yi has been making full preparations for the launch of ABS TV station. Therefore, Zhou Dongyong's work was relatively easy after he came to ABS TV station and it was easy to get started.
ABS's news columns are "ABS News 30 Minutes" and "North-South Dialogue".
The first two TV series aired by ABS TV were "Queen Seondeok" starring Ko Hyun-jung and "Crown Prince's First Love" starring Cha Tae-hyun and Sung Yu-ri.
"Queen Seondeok" is a Monday-Tuesday drama, airing every Monday and Tuesday night, and "Crown Prince's First Love" is a Wednesday-Thursday drama, airing every Wednesday and Thursday night.
Although Sung Yu-ri has appeared in TV dramas produced by SA Films before, most of them were supporting roles, usually the second or third female roles. The most important reason why Korean audiences know Sung Yu-ri is that she hosted variety shows "X-Man" and "Night Heart".
The most popular TV series in 2004 was of course "Full House" co-starred by Song Hye Kyo and Rain in the first half of the year. Song Hye Kyo once again proved her strength as the queen of Korean dramas.
Now ABS TV already has TV series, news programs, and music programs. Now it only needs a ace variety show comparable to "X-Man". Song Yi also thought of this, so he prepared an outdoor competitive reality show "Running Man" for ABS. Zhou Dongyong also watched the recording of the first episode of "Running Man". He was still a little worried, "Now Korean variety shows are mainly indoor variety shows. Will an outdoor competitive variety show like "Running Man" really be popular?"
The current host lineup of Running Man is Yoo Jae Suk, Kim Jong Kook, Lee Hyori, Park Myung Soo and Ha Dong Hoon (HAHA). Yoo Jae Suk is the main MC and is responsible for controlling the show, while Kim Jong Kook, who loves fitness, is positioned as a capable person in this show, while Park Myung Soo and HAHA are responsible for the funny part, and Lee Hyori replaced Song Ji Hyo's role in the original version.
Song Ji Hyo has made her debut now. In 2001, Song Ji Hyo shot the cover magazine "KIKI" and debuted as a magazine model.
In 2003, Song Ji Hyo made her mark in the Korean film industry by starring in the movie "Girls' High School Ghost Story 3: Fox Staircase".
Song Ji Hyo is still relatively young now. If she were to star in "Running Man", the weekend ace variety show of South Korea's four major TV stations, it would be detrimental to Song Ji Hyo's personal development.
Among the Korean female artists under SA Group, the ones who have MC hosting skills are mainly Lee Hyori and Sung Yuri. You can choose one of them.
Song Yi originally favored Sung Yu-ri, but Sung Yu-ri's motor nerves were not as developed as Lee Hyo-ri's, and "Running Man" involves a lot of chasing and running shots. In addition, Lee Hyo-ri was trying hard to get the hosting opportunity and tried to please Song Yi in every way, so Song Yi chose Lee Hyo-ri after much consideration.
Before his rebirth, Song Yi had watched the weekend variety show "Family Outing" hosted by Yoo Jae-seok, Kim Jong-kook, and Lee Hyo-ri. Yoo Jae-seok and Lee Hyo-ri can just form a "national brother and sister" combination, while Kim Jong-kook and Lee Hyo-ri can hype up a couple. Kim Jong-kook is the most successful male singer of SA Music, and Lee Hyo-ri is the female solo of SA Music. The strength of the two in the music industry is unquestionable.
Lee Hyo-ri used to think that she could be lenient with Song Yi by relying on Zhou Mengjiu. However, after observing him for a while, Lee Hyo-ri realized that Zhou Mengjiu could not protect her.
Although Hyundai Motor is unrivaled in the automobile manufacturing industry, after the launch of ABS TV, SA Group has surpassed CJ Group to become the largest giant in the Korean entertainment industry, and no other company can match it.
Let me put it this way, assuming Song Yi is willing to let Song Ji Hyo appear on "Running Man", Song Ji Hyo's agency is willing to take the initiative to clean Song Ji Hyo and send her to Song Yi's bed.
SA Group's current media businesses include TV stations, film production companies, music production companies, advertising production companies, cinema chains and brokerage companies. If we add inschool, Korea's largest social networking site, and SM Entertainment, Korea's largest entertainment company, SA Group's tentacles have penetrated every aspect of the Korean entertainment industry. Korean directors, actors, screenwriters, models, and brokers all have to look to SA Group for favors.
Because it is a revised version of "Running Man", the number of MCs for this show is fixed at 5 at first, and the number of MCs will be increased or changed later according to the changes in the program.
The first guests of "Running Man" are the five-member group TVXQ. The number of MCs of "Running Man" is exactly the same as the number of members of TVXQ, which also makes it easier to carry out the exciting name tag tearing segment at the end.
ABS TV station has gone to great lengths for "Running Man". The first episode of "Running Man" was filmed at the ABS TV station's headquarters building, with dozens of cameras ready to complete the recording of "Running Man" according to the standards of making a movie.
This episode of TVXQ is divided into two parts, which will be broadcast on October 2 and October 8 respectively. This is equivalent to completing the recording of "Running Man" in one day and then broadcasting it in two parts.
In this way, Yoo Jae-suk, Kim Jong-kook and Lee Hyori only need to set aside two to three days each month to complete the recording of "Running Man", which will not affect their other work schedules.
From Song Yi's perspective, he thinks this episode of "Running Man" is very interesting, with TVXQ and the Running Man family competing in wits and courage. The personal physical strength contest between Kim Jong Kook and Asian Dance King Jung Yunho is also a highlight of the show.
"Don't worry, President Zhou. It is precisely because there are so many Korean indoor variety shows that Running Man, which was able to be the first to try it, can attract different audiences."
āOnce entertainment companies realize that āRunning Manā can also become a second singing stage to promote their artists, CJ Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, YG Entertainment and other companies will take the initiative to contact the program team in order to get their artists to appear on the show,ā Song Yi answered affirmatively.
"I'm not good at the entertainment business, and at home, only my daughter watches variety shows. I think we can divide the work well. From now on, I will be responsible for news and political programs, and you will be responsible for TV dramas, variety shows or music programs. In this way, we can each do our own job, and it will also help develop ABS TV station better." Zhou Dongyong suggested.
Song Yi's smile became even warmer. "President Zhou, you used to be the ace news anchor of MBC TV. You must have more experience in news and current affairs programs than I do. I must listen to the advice of seniors like you in this regard. In fact, if you are free on the 2nd, you might as well watch an episode of "Running Man" with your daughter. Maybe you will like this program too."
By October 3, TVXQ's "Running Man" had a national audience rating of 10.2%, ranking first among the four major TV variety shows. "Running Man" immediately gave the newly launched ABS TV a good start.
On the same day, ABS TV held a celebration party at the TV station's headquarters building to reward the production team of "Running Man", including the program PD, program writers and five MCs. ABS TV station president Zhou Dongyong also uploaded a group photo on inschool. In the photo, Zhou Dongyong stood in the middle, and Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Hyori stood on both sides respectively.
Zhou Dongyong held the hands of Liu Zaishi and Lee Hyori and raised them high to celebrate. It is said that Zhou Mengjiu was furious when he saw this photo. Because Lee Hyori stayed in Bucheon City that night and did not return to her residence in Seoul. Thank you for your monthly tickets. I will report the results.
