Chapter 2 Variety Shows

An Zai-chem debuted in 2003. With her handsome and cold face, she quickly won the love of a group of fans. She was even more selected as the most popular newcomer in 2003 because she starred in several TV series. Unfortunately, for some reasons, she was forced to serve in the military in 2004. The fans who loved him at that time were naturally wailed. Those who were sad, sad and incomprehensible all had no one to jump out to oppose him to serve in the military.

Because in South Korea, military service is a policy that every Korean man hates but must obey. Any normal Korean man who is no longer than 20 to 28 years old and graduated from high school must serve in the military. There are only six types of people in South Korea who do not need to serve in the military. The first type is physically disabled or mentally abnormal, so this kind of person naturally does not need to serve in the military.

The second type is those who have won medals and gold medals in the Olympics, as well as Korean internationals (I know why Korean football is so strong, if you don’t join the national team, you will suffer in the military camp. Who doesn’t play hard!)

The third type is a doctor (this type of person is protected by brains, so they don’t need to protect their family and country), and a primary school education level (because the cultural level is too low, I guess I can’t learn military theory. Lee Sedol, who is very good at Korean Go, is at this level. People are specializing in Go after elementary school, so they don’t need to go to military service)

There are more than three goals for raising a family, with tattoos exceeding 1/3 of the whole body's skin, and one is a person over 28 years old.

In addition, South Korea sends military service notices not according to age but according to household registration, so you may receive the military service notice earlier than me, because your household registration is earlier.

It is very hard to serve in the military in Korea. Boys will be very sad when they go to serve in the military. Generally, the second level of active service can only go home in the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival (only 3 days, if the road is far away, maybe there are only 2 days at home). There is no holiday in normal times, and the first year is particularly hard. There is no holiday, and you have to endure the inhuman abuse of the superiors and seniors (maybe there will be sexual harassment). Senior soldiers can use new recruits at will. Some new recruits cannot tolerate them and choose extreme methods (such as suicide, which has caused a big topic in South Korea). Only by surviving the first year is better because if a new recruit enters the camp, you are the seniors and you can use your juniors to do things.

Therefore, artists who enter the barracks usually form groups. After all, at least in the same circle, they can take care of each other. Therefore, artists who enter the army can be the most united time. No matter how dirty they are in the circle, they can meet each other and smile and eliminate grudges.

However, the greatest impact of military service on entertainers is popularity. Artist fans are the most enthusiastic and indifferent group in the world. She can travel thousands of miles to find you just to meet you, or silently support you by your side at the lowest point. She can also leave you because of your actions or words or even ANTI you.

Therefore, the two consecutive years of blank period is the biggest difficulty for any male artist. Therefore, in 2004, Song Seung-hyun wanted to use fake urine to prove that he had kidney disease to escape military service. In the end, he was betrayed by everyone and had to apologize and serve to be forgiven. It also involved a series of incidents of artists' desertion.

Even top stars like Song Seung-heon cannot escape the condemnation of the people, not to mention An Jae-sing, a little star with only a little fame. Military service can be said to be the thing that all young Korean men are most reluctant to face. Every year, thousands of men in South Korea try every means to escape military service.

Song Seung-heon is about to retire and return to the entertainment industry this year like An Jae-heon. Unfortunately, his fan life is different. Even if Song Seung-heon was forced to return to the camp after he returned from the military service, he still could make a comeback easily, but An Jae-heon had to meditate hard on how to have the opportunity to appear on the screen.

A middle-aged man with a frown in the narrow apartment was discussing with a young man with a cold face.

The man had messy black hair, his eyes were not big but very smelly, like a sword that was sheathed introverted, but it revealed an indescribable unyielding, his straight nose bridge had a little curve, and the corners of his mouth bent slightly, which made the originally cold breath suddenly replace it with warmth like the spring breeze.

"Brother, my goal has never been to those ace variety shows. With my current situation, I can't be on these shows. After all, I still know myself." Although I was saying despairing words, there was no expression of frustration on An Zaiying's face.

"and you?"

“My goal has been determined long ago.”

"What is that?" Song Dahai suddenly felt that he could not keep up with the rhythm. After two years of training, the young man had already removed the frigidity and impulse of the young man, and replaced it with wisdom and restrained tolerance.

"Brother, you know Senior Yoo Jae-suk."

"Nonsense, how could I not know that Yoo Jae-suk's "X-MAN" is so popular," Song Dahai responded impatiently. What young people are not good at learning, but they like to beat around the bush. Are you annoying?

"Then you should know that Senior Yoo Jae-shin also hosts other programs besides "X-MAN". "An Jae-shin said slowly. Two years of military life have taught him to be patient. The army is indeed a place to train people.

"Can you try it out "Come and play". Brother Yi's connections can make you go up. If you are lucky, you can get a fixed place." A flash of inspiration, Song Dahai felt that he understood the intention of An Zaiying.

"Come and Play" is a conversation program co-hosted by National McC Yoo Jae-suk and well-known actress Kim Won-hee in 2004. It talks in a relaxing form. Although it has not been ace variety show since its launch, it also has a good viewership group, which is in line with An Zai-style inference.

"No, brother, although "Come and Play" is good, it is not what I want." Facing the excited Song Dahai, An Zaiying's face was still calm and calm.

"Forehead……?"

Song Dahai was completely confused. Isn’t it "Come and Play"? What else would it be? Are there other variety shows?

"Actually, I know about this show, but I just didn't expect it."

What is the show I didn't expect?

"That's a wild variety show hosted by Senior Yoo Jae-suk on MBC... "Unreasonable Challenge""

"Unreasonable Challenge"?!

Song Dahai didn't expect that it would be this show.
