Reorganization, not abolition? The production crew of ‘Under Fifteen’ still can‘t read between the lines [Hong Se-young’s What Happened]

A program that shows the level of the production staff who ask, ‘Why is this controversial?’ Can no longer be aired. No, it might be more appropriate to say that a program that should not have been aired almost came to be, but was prevented from being aired. This is the story of ‘Under Fifteen’, which was canceled due to the ‘Child Sexual Commodification’ controversy. ‘Under Fifteen’ is a K-pop prodigy discovery project for children under the age of 15, and started with the logline, “An audition to foster a fifth-generation girl group with skills and talent that surpass their age.” At first glance, it seems plausible. However, there was a hidden trap. That is, ‘Under 15’. Those between the ages of 13 and 15 are middle school students, but the younger ones are elementary school students. There are also kindergarteners. They are closer to children than teenagers. The production team of ‘Under Fifteen’ is trying to do ‘media business’ with the easy bait of ‘K-POP’ targeting these young ch
