Gian84 is also used to it. We need to find a new dopamine.

It's always been like that, but this year, the broadcasting industry faces another homework. It is a job to discover a new face in entertainment.

As major entertainers such as Park Na-rae and Cho Se-ho recently dropped out due to controversy over their personal lives, entertainment programs have made more efforts to find talented people. Among the comedians, what do you do when you play on MBC?' It is an atmosphere that expands its scope by securing fixed members, but it is true that another fresh person is needed in other entertainment shows.

So there are two people who have been in the spotlight since the beginning of this year. They are mixed martial arts fighters Choo Sung-hoon and Chef Choi Kang-rok. Currently, Choo Sung-hoon's entertainment program reception rate is as significant as that of any professional entertainer. In the past, Choo Sung-hoon has often been engaged in entertainment activities such as KBS 2TV's "Superman Is Back" and SBS's "Law of the Jungle," but he performed various activities on YouTube channel "Choo Sung-hoon" last year, attracting more than 2 million subscribers with his honest talk and unpredictable unexpected actions.

Choo Sung-hoon played an active part in Netflix's "Physical: 100" in 2023 by leaving a buzzword, "Don't ignore Ajo (Mr. Ajo)," and showed off his specialty of wild entertainment with Kim Byung-man in TV Chosun's "Survival King." He was the most diligent in entertainment activities last year, appearing in six programs, including tvN STORY's "Handsome Trot," Netflix's "Churai Churai," ENA, EBS1's "Chu Sung-hoon should pay for his meal," SBS's "My Turn," "Our Ballad" and tvN's "Health Palmer."

Choo Sung-hoon is appearing in four programs, "Chef and the Hunter," tvN's "Cold," and JTBC's "Can't Do It Alone," along with "Health Palmer" in January this year.

Broadcasters have a greater thirst for a "weight entertainer" than a "hot entertainer." Although Choo Sung-hoon is not a professional entertainer, he has the advantage of knowing entertainment physiology from many experiences and playing a central role in a program, and still giving unexpected fun with a wrong tension, so programs are rushing to him.

If Chu Sung-hoon is a relatively familiar new face, the new faces include Chef Choi Kang-rok and Chef Lim Sung-geun, who made headlines for appearing in "Black and White Cook." Since "Black and White Cook" has been a hot topic until season 2, the public's interest and favorability for Choi Kang-rok and Lim Sung-geun have been proven to some extent.

In addition, Choi Kang-rok appeared in Season 2 following Season 1 of "Black and White Cook," and won the final title in Season 2, which is even more popular. Choi Kang-rok has been nicknamed "jorimping" and "serial boiled horse" by presenting boiled dishes especially often, and has gathered quite a fandom with a shy, clumsy but subtly funny tension. In addition, Lim Sung-geun bragged about characters he had never seen before with his twice-fast hand movements and hot and witty remarks reminiscent of the "cultivation method," and earned nicknames such as "Pomansosjwa" and "Imjjang."

Choi Kang-rok caught the eye of producer Kim Tae-ho, who already directed MBC's Infinite Challenge, and secured the main face of producer Kim Tae-ho's new web entertainment show "Sikdeokhu." Choi Kang-rok is giving off a familiar charm by traveling to follow ingredients in "Sikdeokhu." Im Sung-geun already appeared as a guest on tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" and showed off his horse feet that dominated MC Yoo Jae-seok, followed by MBC's "What do you do when you play?"He also made an appearance in MBC's "Omniscient Interference View" and JTBC's "Knowing Brothers," signaling a full-fledged "entertainment tour."

Lim Sung-geun ranked first for two consecutive weeks in the TV-OTT integrated non-drama category, which was released by the topical analysis company Good Data Corporation on the 13th. In addition, Lim Sung-geun is on the verge of achieving "1 million YouTubers" by collecting up to 96 subscribers to his cooking YouTube channel "Im Sung-geun Im Jjang TV."
