Target Audience on Invincible Youth

http://ithetimes.wordpress.com/kbs2-invincible-youth-season-1-eng-sub/

Female

Female viewers are more then male because the people in the program are mainly girls. Some part of the show only girls understand why tears are coming out and joy are bursting on a small matter.

Young adults

Young adults from the age of 13 till 24 will want to watch this program because some of their idol maybe in the program and also the people in the program are also around that age. It relates to the target audience itself too.

Seniors
Seniors from the age 50 and above would watch too because they are retired. Staying at their home which are in a village makes them want to watch how a group of young girls work in a village.

Koreans

This is a korean reality program which is captured by using korean. So the target audience in korea will be larger.

International

Saw a link talking about in the program, what viewers enjoy most was interractions within that small rural community, which indirectly also represents the cultural value of traditional simple Korean life. These were the things that international viewers really want to see - traditional Korean lifestyle, language, food, customs, agriculture, family and social values, these sort of things.

Values

Bonding between members or different type of people

http://fanwonder.com/?tag=invincible-youth

T-ara’s Hyomin revealed a certification shot with Sunny. The photo was most probably taken during the filming of ‘Invincible Youth 2′.

On May 30th, through her personal Twitter account, Hyomin posted, “Today is May 30th, I’ve received my birthday present. This kid…Sseobyung’s resurrection’. Along with her tweet, Hyomin attached a photo of herself and Sunny.

Sunny and Hyomin showed their close friendship by putting their faces close to one another while having the photo taken. Sunny’s cute facial expression particularly, has been garnering a lot of attention.

Sunny and Hyomin were known for their close friendship in the first season of ‘Invincible Youth’ back in 2010 and the special bond between the two had since become the topic of interest among fans and viewers of the show.

By looking at this, we can see that friendship do comes during a really program because they are not acting it out but trying their best to get along. At the end, they end up as best friends.

True Feelings

I do not know whether did I make this correct. This is the last episode of season one. Some people may think that reality program are fake, somehow people still think they are acting all out. At the beginning, I do agree on people who think that way because I myself do think that way too. My mind will be thinking, how could a group of strangers stay together or even work together like a big family? Maybe they are acting all their fake personality out to give good impression to the audience or fans? 

But after watching this reality program for a year and a half, I see awkward at the beginning, tolerance in the middle or I can say getting along with different type of personality people and at the end, tears showed how thick is their friendship.

In this program, the members meet up together every week for a year and a half without any script. Every episode are real from their heart. The way they act and respond are all real. Thats how reality program touch a peoples heart.

Narrative
Narrative of the whole program are depending on what are they planning on doing on that day.

This episode is when they have the time to only have a chance on calling someone that they miss the most. They have lesser time to spend with their family and also lesser time to call their family. So by getting one call to their loves one, makes a very big difference. 

This is another episode which is capture during the christmas time. So they placed decoration around the village and presents are giving out. In return, the chief of the group invites some handsome guys artist as guest or I can say presents to them. Although 7 of the girls are from different famous group singers but they are like normal girls when they see guys are around.

All the video links that I've look through is from iTheTime Blog. They have almost every episode from both seasons with english subtitles.

Western Vs Korean Reality Program

http://www.collegemagazine.com/editorial/364/reality-tv-rules-world

I read a link about Western vs Korean Reality Program which stated about how boring is a Western Reality Program. The link is http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/western-reality-shows.

I do agree on some part which I feel that korean reality programs do stands out much more. The whole entire programs bring meanings to the audience. But in another way, western reality programs have more strong language during the reality programs. They are much more open minded in stuff like that. Maybe because I grew up as an asian so I still prefer Korean Reality Programs although my parents are very open minded.

Back to my point. The mise-en-scene of both western and korean reality programs are similar. Reality programs does not need to fix any mise-en-scene. Everything are by natural depending on what they are doing on that day or episode I mean. Like our daily life.

Values and attitude are brought up natural in the show because there are no script for it. Everything is so real, it touches the audience easily.

Short Summary

We Got Married is a korean reality program. This program broadcast up to 3 seasons. 1 season last for a year.

We Just/Got Married, is a Korean Reality show where celebrities are paired up as married couples.

There isn't any script for them but real feeling towards each other. That is why this program bring real feeling to the audience. Every season they will have minimum of 3 couples from actors to artists to singers. Every couple have around 20 minutes each on the program.

The youtube link above have all the link of the season 2 We Got Married on the Khuntoria couple part. This girl are from a girl group called f(X) name Victoria and she is from china. The guy is from a boy group called 2PM name Nichkhun and she is from Thailand. This is the first time having an international couple in the show. I love them so much. By bringing different cultures together, we can see how they learn from each other. Continue watching it and you will love it.:)

Mise-en-scene

Background decoration - Natural settings. There are no need of setting anything because everything are natural. Reality program does not need any props behind.

Lighting - Natural Lighting. Because this is a reality program.

Costume - Depending on the places they go but mainly casual because reality program is not acting.

Location - The apartment or house that the director prepared and other outdoor places which depends on where they going.

Values that I've learn in this reality program are tolerance and real attitude towards each other. The tolerance between both of the strangers at the beginning till the end. This is because the real feeling from awkward to friends to couple are very real. So it touch to all the audience including me.

Short Summary

Hello baby is a reality program from Korea. They have to 6 seasons already. The images above show from the first season till the current seasons. 

This is a reality program which is about a group of singers taking care of a baby or more then one. To allow them to learn how to be a responsible person on their future. They need to take care the baby like they own them. They need to take a very high responsible on the baby. For example, on their educations, food wise and etc. They need to let them learn how to do stuff like what the parents will do.

One seasons last for 3 months which is 12 episode. 

This is the first episode of season 5 Hello baby. This season is about a group called MBLAQ which consists of 5 member taking care of 3 babes of the age of 2 years old. You can have a look how they come through the process with the children. Enjoy:)

Mise-en-scene

Background decoration - There are no props on this program because this is a reality program. The background decoration changes according to the location.

Lighting - Natural lighting such as daylight because reality program does not need lighting.

Costume - Costume and attire wear are casual cloths because this is a reality program.

Location - Home and outdoors depending on where they going and all. There are no fix place or location.

Values that I've learn in this program are the relationship between the babies and attitude between everyone. Babies learn how to speak correctly to a adult and how the culture works in korea because 3 of the babies have one foreign father or mother. So most of them do not have a correct way of teaching the traditional culture that they need to learn in korea. Day by day, the relationship between 5 members and the babies are getting stronger. The bonding between all of them are one of the best value that I've learn from it.

Invincible Youth Season 2

http://ent.fengone.com/d/20120330/308119.html

Short Summary

Youth incredible program is a korean reality program which been divided into 2 different season. The first season lasted for a year. Season 2 is still going on now in year 2012. The only different between both is the members that are in the show.

This Reality Show is about a group of girl from different group of band or company living in a village. They need to learn how to survive in the village rather then their own city life. Some of them are brought up in the city and never try leaving in a village before.

They learn how to grow vegetables, catch fish, cook dinner, look after the old folks and many things that living in the city will never have the chance of learning. This program is to let the fans or people know that singers or artist are still a human being, they still can work the rough way thru life. On the other side, people can see the real attitude or faces of the singer or artist itself through in program without wearing fashionable clothing and thick make up. This program shows a natural side of the person. :)

I can't find the first episode but this is the second episode of season2 with english sub. The other episode are all link with this youtube channel.:)

Mise-en-scene

Background decoration - Village house. No props needed because this is a reality program.

Lighting - Natural lighting such as daylight, ceiling light and etc.

Costume - Village style with baggy pants which allows people to bend to work easily and cloths which is simple to work too. This is opposite the way a singer and artist needs to wear because this is to relate to the show.:)

Location - The first season was shot in a village called Yuchi-ri which is located at Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do in South Korea. The second season took place in a fishing village in Daebu Island, Ansan, Gyeonggi province.

Values that I've learn while watching this program is that the team work between one another to finish a task. For example, fishing for their dinner. I've also learn their independence during the show on how to cook for 200 old folks, how to grow vegetables, how to keep the farm clean, how to take care of the animals and etc. The values they gave out are very strong not because they are an artist or singers but because they are a normal person. :)
