The Korean online variety show "New World: The Battle for Virtual Currency Hegemony" (hereinafter referred to as "New World"), has participated in popular Korean variety shows such as "RUNNING MAN", "Busted! The program's Cao Xiaozhen (Zhao Hyojin) PD cooperated with Netflix to recruit Crystal Boy Yin Zhiyuan, SUPER JUNIOR Kim Heechul, variety entertainers Park Na-moon, Lee Seung-gi, Cao Bo-A and EXO KAI as the gorgeous program team, which was broadcast on Netflix in many countries around the world. There are 8 episodes in total, and Taiwanese viewers can also watch it on Netflix.

Yin Zhiyuan and Li Shengji participated in the first season of KBS "Two Days and One Night" from 2007 to 2012. The average viewership rate of the show exceeded 40% at that time. It was a well-known "National Variety Show" in South Korea. The KBS Entertainment Awards" won the grand prize together.

Idol singer, hip-hop singer, and variety artist, Yin Zhiyuan, a senior who is respected and affirmed by many artists in Korea in these three fields, was awarded "Yin Chuding (Yin Primary School Student") in "Two Days and One Night S1" because of his nonsensical and naughty personality. )", has also become a frequent visitor to many Han Zong.

Lee Seung-gi, an all-round entertainer of performing arts songs, has a simple and silly "black hole" image under his handsome appearance. He is very popular in "Two Days and One Night S1", and the program host is constantly invited. He is still in the 2018 "SBS Entertainment Awards" "With the program "Family and Master as One", he became the youngest award winner in history.

The two former "Two Days, One Night S1" program crews have always been the ratings guarantee of Han Zong, and they are also the favorites of the well-known Korean variety show producer Luo Yingxi PD and national MC Jiang Hudong. They are in the popular Han Zong tvN "New Journey to the West" There is also cooperation again. (Lee Seung Gi joined the army after participating in the first season, and will not return to "New Journey to the West" after being discharged from the army)

Kim Heechul, who is also a singer in the cross-regional variety show industry, has always been known for his excellent sense of variety show. He has hosted many Korean dramas, and his representative works include tvN "Life Tavern", JTBC "Knowing Brother" and so on.

Many people have high expectations for "New World" just by seeing Eun Ji Won, Lee Seung Gi, and Kim Heechul, three experienced stars in variety shows working together, and this show did not disappoint everyone!

The program team builds a utopian new world on a small island. The items, currency, facilities used on the island, as well as the residents (NPCs) on the island, are all limited to the island. The island has beautiful attractions such as squares, gardens, and walking paths, as well as infrastructure such as supermarkets, banks, coffee shops, and pubs.

When the performers are invited to the island, they enter a new world view, and they will get a mobile phone that can only be used in the new world, with functions such as sending and receiving messages, online bank transfers, and receiving program tasks. The program team also allocated a "dream house" to each of the performers according to the wishes revealed in the previous interview. For example, Cao Baoer hopes to live in an environment surrounded by greenery, so she can live next to nature, like a forest. Holiday home.

In "New World", performers must maintain the money needed to survive on the island, such as accommodation and food, through treasure hunts, trades, competitions, etc. The new world is a virtual game world, and the actors are gamers, and a live game is carried out on the island. Even at the end of the show, players can exchange game currency for Korean won, so everyone hopes to be able to manage money through this game.

Players compete, and of course cooperate, in order to survive. At first, everyone had to find a treasure box on the island that could get the bonus. One of the treasure boxes stipulated that after the owner got a huge bonus, all players would secretly vote to decide which member would lose their deposit. Since all the players except Kim Heechul gathered for this treasure box, everyone in the show decided to split the bonus equally and agreed to vote for Kim Heechul to go bankrupt.

Kim Heechul, who was betrayed by everyone, fortunately got the car key through the game, and even after bankruptcy, he could drive a taxi on the island part-time to make money. Although he was in a virtual world, he presented a situation that was so close to reality. It was the new concept of "New World". What's interesting about Han Zong.

The new world is just like the real world. There are lotto and real estate to buy. The bankrupt Heechul is excited to buy the lottery in order to turn his fate. His bad luck created many jokes for the show.

As for the difference from reality, there are many special props that can be used in the new world, such as props that can reverse the time. Yin Zhiyuan secretly used the time reversal in the first episode to make the game restart, to reverse his handicap To go bankrupt and become a beggar. As for the members who couldn't grasp the situation in time, it was quite interesting to see the time reversal and the money they had finally accumulated to zero.

My favorite part of episode 4 is the real estate deal. Players can use loans to buy and sell real estate, and regularly track real estate fluctuations to gain the opportunity to become rich.

Buying and selling real estate is not just a simple transaction. Players can also purchase special props to cause changes in the price of their own real estate or other people's real estate, such as buying fake snakes and fake cockroaches and throwing them on other people's real estate to depreciate the real estate; you can also buy Special fertilizers allow you to grow golden fruits on your ground, which not only adds value to your real estate, but also picks and sells golden fruits to get more money.

People can even use chatting with NPCs to spread "rumours" on the island, making people misunderstand that some land may depreciate in value. , sell the land to people who believe in the rumors, so that they can escape the crisis that investment in real estate may fail.

In order to make a fortune by investing in real estate, players have tried their best and racked their brains one by one, and the process is quite exciting. The clever Cao Baoer used "fast, ruthless, and accurate" to buy a place where the real estate price will be announced every hour, and match it with street signs that can collect tolls. Whenever other players want to track the real estate price, they must pay to enter her. Land to watch the bulletin board.

Although Yin Zhiyuan did not grab any land, he used a large number of purchases of special props to make other people's real estate prices rise and fall, and then cooperated with players who had land in an attempt to get dividends. In particular, he bought a metal detector and dug up many ancient ruins, which made local real estate prices rise, and he could also make money by taking the dug up ancient ruins for businessmen to buy.

Going back to the cast of the show, except for Eun Ji-won, Lee Seung-gi, Kim Hee-chul, who had a hunch that the show was going to be interesting as soon as they saw their names, Park Na-myung, a straightforward and heroic comedian, appeared in "Comedy League", "I The rich variety show experience accumulated by Living Alone" is also worth watching.

In addition, although Cao Baoer and KAI are newbies in variety shows, Cao Baoer seems to be weak, but actually has a strong personality, which also occupied a lot of advantages in the show; KAI also has accumulated experience in variety shows. He is clever and uses every decision to add a lot of effects to the show, not losing the sophistication of his predecessors.

More importantly, in addition to the fact that the world view of "New World" is quite complete, and the scenes, props, and special effects are also very attentive, all players and game NPCs are very immersed in the world view of the show. There is no traditional variety show, the host. The scenes of dialogue with the program team and bargaining make the audience not feel that there is a drama, as if they are really watching a gorgeous live game from the perspective of God.
