Audition Boom in Korea

           Starting with ‘Super Star K’ in 2009, many kinds of audition programs have been loved by a lot of Korean in these days. Especially, although Super Star K series have been broadcast on the cable channel, the program displayed viewer ratings of from 8 percent to 22 percent. Then, how this kind of program could arrest the attention of viewers so quickly? Some critics say that such auditions describe ‘fair society’ where people can be evaluated openly and participate in the evaluation. And, actually, any Koreans had craved for such impartial appraisals. Meanwhile, Super Star K appeared and swept the viewer along.
           Moreover, audition programs have other strengths. By attending an audition, applicants can be evaluated by many experts from each field. And if winning the audition, the applicant can win the jackpot and gain in popularity. When it comes to the viewers, they can get vicarious satisfaction watching the way someone poor but talented achieved success. And they can enjoy it truly because open auditions are based on real life.
           However, such programs also have drawbacks. It is likely to expose applicants’ privacy in public. Furthermore, some netizens attack the applicants malevolently. Besides, making people try to pass auditions can cause fierce competition in the fields.
           As a viewer, I think audition programs are exciting and voted for some applicants I liked. But recently, too many competitions in TV programs regardless of field. Sometimes when I change the channel, I am about sick of contests. I think it’s time to make another good grogram creatively.
