01x01 - Worth

Post by bunniefuu »

Of all the shows out there,

you have decided to watch The Influencer.

What caught your attention?

There exists a group of people

who were born out of your attention

who in turn,

come to impact your decisions.

These people are called influencers.

We have gathered 77 influencers

across platforms such as

YouTube, Instagram, AfreecaTV, and TikTok,

who represent

the 400-billion-won marketing industry.

That's what you call an influencer.

She's the cosplay champion of Korea.

I see a lot of big names.

Each of them must utilize

their media presence

-Twenty-seven million?

-They have so many followers.

level of influence

I've made about 3.2 billion won.

Here's a real big shot.

He's an actual celebrity.

and popularity in various rounds

to draw people's attention

and prove their value as influencers.

Which of the 77 influencers

will remain until the end?

Enter the world

where attention and influence

are equal to worth and power.

Welcome to the social survival show,

The Influencer.

THE INFLUENCER

What does the number mean?

Hold on, what is this?

I didn't know

it was going to be like this.

Hello, I'm Changhyun,

and I run a YouTube channel

called StreetKaraoke.

I was a streamer

on AfreecaTV for a long time

and decided to also get into YouTube.

Hello. Welcome to

Changhyun's StreetKaraoke.

Who will win the two-million-won prize?

Let's find out.

I've been streaming

for about nine to ten years.

I'll probably be

the longest-running YouTuber here.

Considering that,

I want to survive as long as possible.

Who's that?

He's dressed so formally.

I'm over here in my old T-shirt.

Hello.

I'm Sanghyuk,

and I'm a five-year mukbang YouTuber

with 1.23 million subscribers.

As they say these days,

my content is on fire.

I assumed the people here would be

on a similar level to me if not higher,

but Changhyun's much more popular,

so it was only natural for him to be here.

Sanghyuk?

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Nice to meet you.

-Likewise.

My name is Mejiwoo.

I run several brands

as a brand director and CEO.

I also have a YouTube channel

and an Instagram page.

On Instagram,

I have about 11 million followers.

11.02M FOLLOWERS

I believe that a lot of people

still don't know me,

so I think this could be a good chance

to build some network

with other influencers.

-We're all spread apart.

-I know, right?

Do we have to sit together?

-I don't think so.

-Okay.

Who's that?

This must be it.

Hello, everyone.

Hello.

Wait, am I too early?

My goodness!

Hello, I'm a rising star

and digital clown,

QYOUNG.

Where should I sit?

Hello, nice to meet you.

There's no escape once you fall for me.

I'm QYOUNG. Nice to meet you.

QYOUNG

BEAUTY AND FASHION YOUTUBER

I believe influencers are creators

who have to be imaginative.

As someone who deals with

beauty and fashion,

I also influence people to be artistic.

You remember the underboob trend?

These days, underballs are in.

Underballs, just like this.

It's great for ventilation.

Make sure to film this.

I'm going to have fun here.

Let's go play, QYOUNG!

-Are you okay wearing that?

-Of course.

I see.

-Would you like to touch it?

-No!

-I'm good.

-You can.

Well then

-It's cool, right?

-That's amazing.

I made this myself.

We're kind of twinning today.

-I don't think so.

-We're both wearing green.

-You look great.

-It's nice to meet you.

Hello?

Is this like Battle Royale?

What's this?

"1.97M"?

So what?

I'm PaniBottle, a travel YouTuber.

My main platform is YouTube,

but I've also started

showing up on TV these days.

I wonder what they'll make all of us do

on this show.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

He's my favorite creator.

I love PaniBottle.

PaniBottle!

I've always wanted to meet him.

DOGJOY

DOG YOUTUBER

He's a top contender.

BBOGUMI

STREAMER & YOUTUBER

When I saw PaniBottle walk in,

I sensed that he'd be the winner.

-Hi.

-Hello.

Hello.

-Hello.

-Is this your everyday outfit?

Yes.

Wow.

This is interesting.

Do you know what this is?

I think

it shows your subscriber count

and how big your channel is.

You're right. The "M" stands for million.

So it shows the number of followers.

From the outset, this isn't a fair game.

If the number of followers is a factor,

then I can start off well.

I'm confident I can compete

with the others.

This makes everything

feel so hierarchical.

It's scary how we've all been

graded like this.

Hello.

Hello.

HAN A-REUM-SONG-E

FIRST-GEN ONLINE BEAUTY STAR YOUTUBER

-Come on!

-Hello.

-Hi Pure.D!

-She's an elf.

Pose for us.

Strike an elf-like pose.

-So that's how it's done.

-Yes, you look mystical.

PURE.D

SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKEUP YOUTUBER

Look at those hands.

What are those hands?

-We dressed up too much.

-I know, right?

-So it looks like this.

-What's this?

-Look at you.

-You're just the same.

-Goodness.

-That's right.

I'm exhausted already.

Someone's coming.

What?

Welcome! I was waiting for you.

Is he a TikToker?

He's Needmorecash.

He makes a lot of short-form content.

NEEDMORECASH

SHORT-FORM CREATOR

-He's too intimidating.

-I've been waiting.

I knew he'd show up.

-Look at his pecs.

-Oh my gosh!

Goodness.

Is he a robot?

That's what you call an influencer.

I'm Needmorecash,

and I try to entertain my audience

through short-form videos.

I have a special alter-ego that went viral

where I'm in a suit,

so I'll be in character when I walk out.

The thing is,

that character doesn't speak.

I'm not sure what we'll be doing,

so I'll just try to stay in character.

Hello.

Would you like some champagne?

He's staying in character.

How long will he keep that up?

Yes, hello.

So he doesn't speak?

It's nice to meet you.

What's the point of his mic then?

What's this?

Are we starting already?

This is kind of scary.

Wasn't this supposed to be fun?

What is this?

Okay, this is kind of hip.

I'm on TV, Mom.

JANG JI-SOU

CONTENT CREATOR

Formerly Quaddurup, now Jang Ji-sou.

I'm a YouTuber

with 1.2 million subscribers.

-What's wrong with you?

-My apologies, sir!

-Do you have an attitude problem?

-No, sir!

There's a reason why

survival shows like to cast me.

A lot of influencers

are too worried about getting hate,

but I don't care.

That's my strength.

And I know

a lot of influencers personally.

I promise you this.

If I don't know

a single person on the show,

I'll quit YouTube.

I'm expecting this response.

"Hey, that's Quaddurup!"

Hey, that's Quaddurup.

I'm also expecting this.

-"Hi!"

-Hi!

-Hi, Ji-sou.

-Hello.

Hello.

I think Ji-sou knows everyone here.

Good to see you.

Did you try scanning this?

What do you mean?

I scanned it with my phone,

and it said

it's not time to watch the Shorts yet.

-What?

-What is it?

What?

-What is this?

-Have you tried scanning this?

See how smart he is?

PARK SEO-A

CHAT YOUTUBER

Ji-sou's been on several survival shows,

-So he knows how this works.

-so he knows what to look out for.

I feel like he's going to win.

I'm already jealous.

SHIM EU-DDEUM

Just this morning,

I followed along

with her stretching video.

survival shows.

OKING is pretty intimidating.

-Hey, OKING!

Welcome!

Hello, I'm OKING,

and I'm a multi-genre content creator.

Of all the Korean YouTubers,

I definitely rank in the top three

of the most talkative.

I'd even be a simple soldier,

a rower on a turtle ship.

HEAVE-h*

Male friends and female friends

are different!

Try taking a shower together then!

My goal is to go to the final rounds.

Let's show them why I'm called a king.

Look at this setup.

Hello.

Amazing.

This is so cool.

I've never seen him in person.

It's Jin Yong-jin!

-What?

-It's Yong-jin!

JIN YONG-JIN

YOUTUBER & DIRECTOR

Yong-jin is legendary.

He's up there.

Yong-jin's a top contender.

-Yong-jin.

-Yong-jin.

I've always been a big fan

and was surprised to see him here.

KIM DDOLDDOL

g*y YOUTUBER

He plans, directs, films, and edits.

He does it all.

He's created lots of game shows

LITTLE SUNG-YUP

FITNESS YOUTUBER

so it feels like he's here as a producer,

not as a participant.

He's a favorite to win.

He's a real big shot.

Hello, I'm Jin Yong-jin,

and I'm a YouTuber and director

with 2.7 million subscribers.

I started out with videos

that provided answers

to people's curiosities.

I also created

the survival show Money Game.

I'm currently directing the web series

Movies That Don't Exist.

I'm excited to see who'll be on this show,

and I wonder

if they'll be how I expect them to be.

-I wasn't expecting him.

-Same here.

You usually produce these kinds of shows.

-Hello.

-Yes, hello.

OKING.

They pulled out all the stops

to get everyone on the show.

I see a lot of big names.

All of the big YouTubers are here.

She's so pretty.

She's pretty.

JUICE SEYEON

AFREECATV STREAMER

-She looks like an AI model.

-She does.

Right? You look great on stage.

Do you know her personally?

-We collaborated recently.

-Yeah?

-What does she do?

-She's a streamer.

She's a streamer.

She's a streamer on AfreecaTV?

Hey, is she on AfreecaTV?

-That's right.

-I see.

Are you interested in her?

Why are you suddenly so energetic?

Could you put your collar on properly?

-It has to go like this.

-What are you doing?

-How?

-Turn it around.

Why did you click on me?

I'm Juice Seyeon,

and I mostly stream on AfreecaTV.

I'd say I'm one of the top three streamers

on the platform.

I think I'm an influencer

who shares positive vibes

and makes my viewers happy

through my content.

My goal is to get

a lot of love and popularity here.

I'm going to chew everyone up.

Hello.

You look like

you're at an awards ceremony.

-Hello.

-You're so pretty.

Thank you.

You look like Jang Won-young.

-Don't say that.

-You're so pretty.

-Can you say something?

-He won't.

Even if I tickle him?

What, you're going to talk now?

-Look at him.

-He's smiling!

Hello, everyone.

beauty content for eight years

for my 2.25 million

little ladies and gentlemen.

It's nice to meet you.

I share beauty information and tips

through fun makeup videos

I used to be a professional makeup artist,

so I have the know-how

to help anyone do their own makeup.

My viewers are also entertained

by my humor.

It's RISABAE.

Here's a real big shot.

RISABAE!

I'm such a big fan.

I watch her live streams every day.

KIM WOO-HYEON

MODEL

To me, she's an artist.

My little ladies and gentlemen

are everywhere.

So I thought they'd be here too

since my fans can be found anywhere.

-Hello.

-I need to take a picture with you.

She's so skinny.

-Could I take a picture too?

-You know me? Thank you so much!

-You smell good.

QUEEN WA$ABII

RAPPER

Queen WA$ABII's just k*lling it.

How are they not tired?

LIM HYUN-SEO

LAWYER

What?

I was initially worried

that I'd look too weird

with the fake tattoos and the wig.

Then I saw someone with green hair

and someone wearing underwear and pants.

Well, I'm also wearing them,

but he was wearing them a bit differently.

Normally, you'd only see someone's pants.

But with him,

you could see the underwear as well.

That's something you just can't beat.

QYOUNG's wild outfit.

THISISMATÉ

BEAUTY AND FASHION YOUTUBER

QYOUNG looked fierce.

Someone beat my wardrobe.

I didn't expect to see someone

dressed like that here,

considering that we'd all be seen

by a global audience on Netflix.

What's that sound?

-It sounds like a car.

-Is it from a mic?

-Something's happening.

-A mic?

What's he doing now?

-What's that?

-Oh my gosh!

-Isn't that a supercar?

-Amazing.

Oh my goodness!

-He looks so stylish.

-It's BBULKUP!

Hey!

Look at him. So luxurious.

-Look at his shoes.

-This is hilarious.

Hello, I'm BBULKUP.

I run a food business

and a YouTube channel,

and I also dabble in hip-hop,

among other things.

BBULKUP

FOOD BUSINESS CEO

I drive a limited-edition Lamborghini

with only 500 to 600 units worldwide,

the Aventador SuperVeloce.

That's "really damn fast" in Italian.

Is that a minivan?

There's another car.

That's really fresh.

Hello.

-Do-young?

-Hello.

It's him!

My name is Kim Do-young.

I run Kim's Fruits,

which is a digital printing brand.

I go around selling my fruit shirts

or giving them away.

Now, I can say

that I'm a Netflix-approved influencer.

That's so cute!

THE SON OF KIM BONG-SU AND KWON HYE-JU

KIM DO-YOUNG APPEARS ON NETFLIX

-Welcome!

-Welcome!

Let me bow to my parents.

Goodness.

He's a good son.

He's the pride of Taebaek.

That's hardcore!

His outfit's more expensive than mine.

Hello, I'm Hwang Jae-keun,

and I'm a fashion designer.

I have a distinctive face,

so I'm sure people recognize me.

I guess I could be called an influencer.

He creates the masks

on King of Mask Singer.

Really?

I wore a mask that he designed

-and went on the show.

-Really?

You're so cool!

Goodness.

-He's the best!

-I can't believe he's here.

This is a party for extroverts.

We provide a nice contrast.

It can get tiring to watch

if everyone's like that.

Sure.

Who's next?

-Hello.

-Hello.

VVELY

BEAUTY YOUTUBER

-Nice to meet you.

-Hello!

She's very pretty.

-Hello.

-Hi, you're beautiful.

-Thank you.

-This is so cool.

Hello.

Hello, BBULKUP.

You're very pretty.

What's the purpose of this show?

Honestly, Seo-a's the prettiest here.

Let me go tell her that.

They said they were popular in Apgujeong.

-So I asked

-Seo-a.

-Yes?

-You're the prettiest girl here.

No, look at all the other girls.

-They're all

-I'm serious.

You're so damn pretty.

-This is how he says hi.

-You're amazing.

Who's next?

-I can't believe it.

-Who is it?

Here comes the veteran.

This is crazy.

It's DaeDo!

Seriously?

-This is unbelievable.

-DaeDo!

-First gen.

-Hello, everyone.

DAEDO

FIRST-GEN GAMING YOUTUBER

I've been a creator for 13 years,

and I'm basically the founding father

of the Korean YouTube community.

I'm DaeDo.

I connect with my viewers

through gaming content and other things.

-Hello.

-Hi!

Hello.

-The veteran!

-Hello!

He's here?

Netflix went all out!

Seeing all the big names in person

left me stunned.

CADDIEWANNY

GOLF YOUTUBER

-The biggest names are here.

-Hello.

He's a living legend.

I'd say he basically made YouTube.

She's wearing a dress.

Here comes my bride.

She looks amazing.

-Isn't she an actress?

-Yes.

-You're so pretty!

-She's so pretty.

Hello.

KI EUN-SE

ACTRESS

Hello, I'm Ki Eun-se.

I'm an actress

and also an influencer.

On YouTube, I create lifestyle content.

And on Instagram,

I mostly deal with fashion.

She's so pretty. It's unbelievable.

Who is it now?

Who is it?

No idea.

Does that say "27M"?

She has 27 million followers?

DANCEKANG

K-POP DANCE YOUTUBER

BBANGTHUG

SHORT-FORM CREATOR

-How many is that?

-Wait, 27 million?

Hello.

I'm Siajiwoo, a TikTok creator

with 27.5 million followers.

A lot of people are interested

in my dancing and fashion

and enjoy following me.

I'm very proud of what I do.

My goal in coming on this show

is to make myself known more.

It's Siajiwoo!

-Sia!

-Xia Junsu!

Sia!

So pretty!

Twenty-seven million followers is amazing.

-She's on TikTok, right?

-Right.

-TikTok's on another level.

-Exactly.

If you're talking 27.5 million

That's half of Korea's population.

JAY JUNG

STARTUP CEO

It's the combined population

of Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi-do.

Siajiwoo.

She's a TikToker?

Based on TikTok's nature as a platform,

it's hard to judge its creators.

They're likely to be one-dimensional.

DICKHUNTER

COMEDY CREATOR

TikTokers make money too easily.

Who said that?

That annoys me.

It might not be popular in Korea,

but TikTok dominates the industry

in Southeast Asia and America.

It's a platform

that's recognized globally,

so I have to disagree.

"TikTokers are overrated"?

KEJIMIN

TIKTOK CREATOR

Don't look down on short-form creators.

TIKTOKERS: SHERRY 2.3M,

GATO 5.3M, DOCTOR WHO 5M

TikTokers have so many followers.

I'm basically a nobody here.

I shouldn't be here.

I don't want to show my collar.

I'm the real nobody here.

What would that make me?

CONTONI

SHORT-FORM CREATOR

Hello.

Oh my. Hello.

Hello.

It's CHAHONG!

I also run 23 hair salons.

I want everyone to feel gorgeous

by helping them find their own beauty.

Hello, everyone.

-It's Yooxicman.

-I'm your fan!

He's the meat guy!

I love him.

Hello.

I'm Yooxicman, a YouTuber who cooks meat.

My content focuses on cooking meat

and introducing meat dishes

from all over the world.

Wait.

It's Youngalnam.

-Youngalnam.

-Oh wow.

I watched his content just yesterday.

-He talks about soccer and English, right?

-Yeah.

-Amazing.

-Hello.

Hello, I'm Youngalnam,

and I create English-related content

on YouTube.

I mainly make content about English

and also travel.

This is so fun.

-She's a shaman.

That must be her theme.

She's clearly something else!

-Hello.

-She's an actual shaman.

IAMKATIECUTIE

SHAMAN

Hello, I'm iamkatiecutie, and I'm a shaman

who's popular on Instagram.

I'm an actual shaman.

I do have a unique job,

and I want to be the best

at fortune telling.

Wait, seriously?

I will destroy everyone who denies me!

Hello, I'm GVAN, and I'm a drag artist.

Offline, I mainly perform

drag shows in Itaewon,

and online, I create short-form content.

I use drag as a theme for all my content.

As an openly q*eer influencer,

I believe that everything I do

can encourage others

in the same scene as me.

My goodness!

That's GVAN.

I knew GVAN would be here.

-I knew it.

-Exactly.

GVAN!

What's going on?

GVAN's so pretty.

Hello!

He's a guy?

He's a guy.

-I was surprised.

-Same here.

CHARMING JO

MUSIC YOUTUBER

I saw you once at reserve forces training.

KINKY

DANCER

I saw you there.

But I thought you'd be uncomfortable

if I said hello.

Did you go wearing this?

Of course not.

-At training?

-That's right.

It was in Nogosan.

I feel like I've entered

the social media world.

-I feel the same way.

-Everyone's so dressed up.

Will we have a host in person?

-Or will it just be by PA?

-I think so.

-Someone's coming.

-They're the last one.

Is this the last one?

Who's the last one?

What?

He's an actual celebrity.

What?

Is this for real?

I can't believe it.

The Prince of Asia!

My goodness!

He's our host!

Wait, what?

He's our host!

Oh my!

How is Jang Keun-suk here?

-A Netflix original project,

-What?

-The Influencer.

-Oh my goodness.

Hello, I'm Jang Keun-suk!

This is crazy.

-Unbelievable.

-Amazing.

Are you ready to be the influencer?

-Yes!

-Yes!

Okay, here we go.

It's showtime!

This is the real deal!

Hello, everyone.

Thank you.

He's so handsome.

He's the perfect host.

For a second,

I thought he was participating.

-He's the perfect host.

-Exactly.

We're still one short.

He has the collar on.

Why does he have one on?

Is he also competing?

We can see his follower count.

He must be contestant No. 77 then.

This is crazy.

Hello, I'm Jang Keun-suk,

and I'm an up-and-coming influencer.

I'm ready to learn from you all!

He's No. 77.

So we have to compete against a celebrity?

It's almost unfair to go against him.

How is he a contestant?

He recently started a YouTube channel,

so you could say he's a novice influencer.

Hello.

It's me,

Jang Keun-suk.

I've been an actor for 33 years,

as well as a singer in Japan.

Basically, I've been working very hard.

I only started my YouTube channel

nine months ago,

so I'm a newbie influencer.

Looking back,

I think I could say

I was the first-generation influencer.

I both rose and fell

on a platform called Cyworld.

I was very young then,

so I made the mistake

of being too pretentious,

but I learned from that.

You could say I'm a ready-made influencer.

My experiences back then

probably led me to be on this show.

He's a real influencer.

He's the Prince of Asia

and also a YouTuber,

so he fits this show well.

He's a global star.

-Why would he be here?

-Isn't he more of a celebrity?

His fanbase would give him an advantage.

He shouldn't be here.

We're all here

hanging around like little kids,

and he's a real celebrity.

He needs to be eliminated.

-Hello. Good to see you.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-You tricked us just now.

Are you a contestant too?

You're the host, right?

No, I'm a contestant.

-You are?

-I could get eliminated today.

-Can I sit here?

-Of course.

We're sitting with Jang Keun-suk!

HEO SEONG-BEOM, MODEL

RISABAE, FIRST-GEN BEAUTY CREATOR

OKING

STREAMER & YOUTUBER

There are so many famous people.

It's crazy how we're all here together.

Are you okay, Yong-jin?

Yes, I was just thinking.

-What to do?

-Yes, what I should do.

You're the best at deduction here.

JIN YONG-JIN

YOUTUBER & DIRECTOR

I definitely have

the most experience with these things.

I'm probably the best

at figuring out hidden intentions.

This is a competition.

We might be friendly,

but we're all here to compete.

Whoever's on top will be worried.

They might think winning's a given

with so many followers.

But targeting them

could be a good strategy.

I have a decent number of followers,

so I think I have a chance.

FITVELY

FITNESS YOUTUBER

Whatever happens, QYOUNG will be on top.

It's simple.

I just need to beat everyone else.

ALL 77 INFLUENCERS HAVE ENTERED

-What's going on?

-I'm scared.

To the 77 influencers who represent Korea,

welcome.

Through a series of survival games,

you will be competing to decide

which one among you

is the most influential.

There will be a total of five rounds.

After Round 1,

only 30 of you will remain.

-After today? Right now?

-Yeah.

Right here?

I imagined

they'd keep at least half of us,

but 30 is cutting it a little too close.

I'm competing against

so many talented people.

Can I do this?

Only the strongest will survive this.

I think I could get eliminated.

No, this isn't good!

Forty-seven are going home today.

From the first round?

-That's too many.

-The number on your collar

shows the follower count

on your main platform.

Is that so?

You have over a million, right?

Here is the ranking of all 77 influencers

based on follower count.

They're ranking us?

Oh my god.

Ranking us by follower count?

Why are they ranking us?

-What is this?

-Come on.

Why are you exposing us?

I'm so scared. I don't like this.

I'm going to be a target.

I'm worried about that too.

Here is the ranking of all 77 influencers

based on follower count.

FOLLOWER RANKING

Why show this to us?

This is so embarrassing. I might be last.

Oh my god.

FOLLOWER RANKING

7TH, JIN YONG-JIN, 2.69M

10TH, RISABAE, 2.25M

I'm in a good position for now.

11TH, OKING, 2.1M

15TH, SHIM EU-DDEUM, 1.6M

16TH, DAEDO, 1.51M

It really reminded me

that I'm here to be evaluated.

30TH, KI EUN-SE, 775K

Even Keun-suk's only thirty-fourth.

34TH, JANG KEUN-SUK, 623K

Keun-suk's only thirty-fourth.

This could be a fair fight.

My ranking is so low.

53RD, KIM DDOLDDOL, 223K

I've never been fiftieth

at anything before.

I felt so embarrassed.

71ST, KINKY, 75K

74TH, KERRIGAN MAY, 45K

I'm screwed.

I'm way out of my league here.

I'm not last!

76TH, IAMKATIECUTIE, 32K

I'm not last!

I'm last.

This is brutal.

77TH, HWANG JAE-KEUN, 17K

Who's first?

1ST, SIAJIWOO, 27.5M

Twenty-seven million?

-Seriously?

-No one can beat that.

Who's Siajiwoo?

Do you know who Siajiwoo is?

Who are Siajiwoo and KEJIMIN?

-You're first.

-What do we do?

1ST, SIAJIWOO, 27.5M, TIKTOK

We're screwed.

2ND, KEJIMIN, 11.3M, TIKTOK

We're even sitting together.

Exactly!

How did we sit together like this?

All top six influencers are TikTokers.

5TH, GATO, 5.3M, TIKTOK

I'm just happy I beat Doctor Who.

6TH, DOCTOR WHO, 5M, TIKTOK

-Is he your rival?

-I can go home now.

8TH, SHERRY, 2.3M, TIKTOK

The winner of The Influencer

will receive

300 million won.

What?

Now we're talking!

300 million won?

I started breathing heavy.

How nice would it be

to get 300 million won?

I made up my mind to win that prize.

I have a debt

of 300 million won right now.

I thought of it as a chance from above.

It's a lot of money, you know?

The competition's going to be intense.

On The Influencer,

your follower count represents your worth.

-What?

-Come on, really?

And here,

your worth determines your ranking

and your power.

-Ranking and power?

-Unbelievable.

We will show you your worth

calculated by the proportion

of your follower count

to the final prize of 300 million won.

Our worth?

-They're converting it?

-Yeah.

-So more followers means more money?

-Yes.

I'm scared.

It's on your collar.

-Oh my!

-On our necks.

SHIM EU-DDEUM

CONVERTED WORTH: 4.01M

770,000.

HEO SEONG-BEOM

CONVERTED WORTH: 770K

Why are you all so cheap?

JINJEOLME

CONVERTED WORTH: 200K

You're worth 27.63 million!

MEJIWOO

CONVERTED WORTH: 27.63M

-She's over 26 million!

-She's worth 26.33 million!

SSOYOUNG, 26.33M

You're so rich!

All of a sudden,

I started holding my head high

and fixed my posture.

I'm only worth one million won!

How much am I?

-730,000.

-Really?

My worth was so low.

I couldn't even hold my head up.

Maybe we can use this money for something.

You're worth 5.64 million.

I was happy.

I thought I had a good chance.

-I could use your help.

-No, I need help too.

I was worth 3.08 million won.

Instead of pure follower count,

converting that to money value

seemed more stimulating and fun.

Looking at my worth

made me feel vulnerable

and exposed.

This is tough.

I'm rarely behind in real life,

but here I'm lagging.

I'm 1.94 million.

Well, it didn't make me happy.

I knew I was worth more than this.

-630,000 won.

-Seriously?

Not even one million won?

They're doing this on purpose.

-They're pissing me off so much.

-On purpose.

How am I only worth 190,000?

"How dare you decide what I'm worth?"

That's how I felt.

This is so mean. I feel so ashamed.

I'm worth the gas for my ride back home.

110K

This is frustrating.

How much is first place worth?

I wonder how much Siajiwoo is worth.

We need to cover our collars.

Can I see yours?

Can I see it, please? How much is it?

How much are you worth?

Sixty million won!

-Sixty million?

-Oh dear!

-68.9 million?

-Hey.

Goodness.

She's worth 60 million won.

-Sixty million won?

-Yes.

I felt a lot of pressure then.

Well,

everyone's attention was on me.

I was very scared.

The worth of the eliminated

will be absorbed by the survivors.

So that all adds up to 300 million?

-That makes sense.

-Right?

And whoever survives until the end

will win 300 million won.

I need to target Siajiwoo then.

If you take her 60 million won,

-then you're first.

-Exactly.

Influencers,

Round 1 will begin now.

I'm so excited! This will be fun!

-Let's go!

-Let's do this.

-Let's go!

-Let's go!

I'm nervous.

Round 1 will be based on voting.

-Voting?

-Why?

-Oh sh*t.

-Voting?

What kind of vote?

Starting now,

you must cast 15 likes and 15 dislikes

for a total of 30 votes.

Oh my god.

Dislikes?

This is scary.

-I can't breathe.

-I'm so scared.

All votes will be anonymous,

and you will vote on The Influencer app

which is installed on your phones.

You will have

two hours.

Two hours?

They're giving us two hours just for this?

I wondered if two hours

was really necessary for this.

We'll have to convince each other.

-You're right.

-That's right.

And you shouldn't do anything

to earn a dislike.

Let's be friends.

All right.

Additionally, each collar

is embedded with an NFC chip

that contains a short-form video

introducing whoever is wearing the collar.

Tag the collar of any influencer

you want to know more about.

Then you will be able to watch

their short-form introduction video.

Like this?

Furthermore, an opportunity

for influencers to show their talents

will be announced soon.

Voting will now begin.

-Let's go!

-This is brutal.

I want to see yours.

So first, I

This is it!

You can just vote like that?

YOU RECEIVED A LIKE

-I got a notification that I got a like.

-Yes.

YOU RECEIVED A LIKE

My strategy was to get

a lot of likes and a few dislikes.

Influencers always want likes.

Whoever gets the most likes wins.

Please vote for me.

I think everyone here likes you.

-Really?

-So I'm really happy.

Everyone here was so happy to see you,

including me.

RISABAE, you're the person

I was happiest to see.

-Really?

-I'm a fan of yours.

I started streaming on AfreecaTV

after I was inspired by your videos.

-You're Seo-a, right?

-Yes.

I just have to send you a like.

Did you really?

-Thank you so much.

-I love you.

YOU RECEIVED A LIKE

JUNGHYUN SENT RISABAE A LIKE

Thank you.

-Oh my goodness.

-It's so nice to meet you.

-I'm such a big fan.

-Thank you.

When my channel gets bigger,

-I'd like to work with you.

-Sounds good.

I thought I had an advantage

in terms of receiving likes

since most people

were very friendly to me.

People voted for me

while telling me how much they loved me.

-It's such an honor.

-Same here.

You're Heo Seong-beom

from KAIST, aren't you?

-I sent you a like.

-Thank you.

JINJALIM SENT HEO SEONG-BEOM A LIKE

YOU RECEIVED A LIKE

Hello, I'm Heo Seong-beom.

I'm 24, and I'm a student at KAIST.

HEO SEONG-BEOM

MODEL

What's wrong with my pronunciation?

Well, this is my fourth time filming this.

My "KAIST Student Teaches Calculus" video

suddenly went viral,

and my followers increased

from 60K to about 300K

in less than a month.

I was very surprised.

That's me.

I thought I saw you somewhere!

Thank you.

-I'll send you a like.

-Thank you.

CLAIRE SENT HEO SEONG-BEOM A LIKE

Oh my goodness,

I know where I've seen you.

I sent this to my friend

when I first saw it.

Oh yeah?

A lot of people recognized me

after watching my video.

I'm still taking baby steps,

but I was happy

that people gave me recognition.

I just got two dislikes.

Really? How do you know?

It notifies you.

It just pops up.

"You received a dislike."

-Does it show the total?

-It doesn't.

I guess it's not that good

to be too famous.

Yeah.

People send me dislikes

-just so they can eliminate me.

-I see.

Without even watching your video?

Yes, they might just not like me.

Guys don't really like me,

so I'm used to that.

But this is brutal.

-I didn't do anything.

-Why do guys not like you?

As soon as Round 1 began,

literally right away,

I got three or four dislikes.

That's when I realized

this thing was intense.

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

-What's this?

-What?

I got a dislike.

Someone's targeting you.

Oh my god.

Getting a lot of dislikes

would negate any likes I get

and eliminate me.

So I encouraged people

not to send me dislikes

if they can't send me likes.

Even if we don't send likes,

-let's at least not send dislikes.

-Sure.

Just no dislikes.

Please, no dislikes.

That's a good idea.

-We have a deal.

-Deal.

Let's not send any dislikes.

-No dislikes?

-Do we have a deal?

Of course.

I was so curious about you.

All right.

-How do you do it?

-You tag your phone to the collar.

MYBOO

COSPLAY CREATOR

This one was so cool.

YOU RECEIVED A LIKE

Who sent me this?

Was it you?

-It was me.

-Really?

I sent a like to everyone

with an impressive video.

This must have taken forever.

It took me a whole afternoon.

MYBOO SENT GATO A LIKE

YOU RECEIVED A LIKE

Take a look at my amazing

introduction video.

Please watch it. It's out of this world.

Goodness.

PURE.D

SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKEUP YOUTUBER

Look how well-made this is.

Seriously.

You did great.

Where's Pure.D?

MEJIWOO SENT PURE.D A LIKE

Pure.D's video was extremely well done.

It made my video look pretty bad.

Hey, first place.

Hello.

-Let me see your video.

-I'll watch yours too.

-I want to see it too.

-Sure.

I'm sure it's worth watching.

SIAJIWOO

TIKTOK CREATOR

I can see why you have

27 million followers.

This is so well-made.

How much did this cost to film?

You basically made an ad.

Siajiwoo's video

almost felt like a sportswear ad.

She used a lot of different angles too.

I liked her video and liked her as well.

KIM DDOLDDOL SENT SIAJIWOO A LIKE

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Can I see yours?

-Sure.

She's Juice Seyeon!

Why did you click on me?

JUICE SEYEON, 10,000 STAR BALLOONS

You didn't know me, did you?

Just a moment.

-Goodness.

-This is embarrassing.

This isn't a blind date, okay?

-Get yourself together.

-Could I send you a like?

Sure.

You're so pretty.

Thank you.

She was so pretty.

I just had to send her a like.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Could I tag your collar one more time?

I want to watch your video again

when I'm alone.

-Thank you.

-All right.

-All done, thank you.

-Thank you.

Your worth

Oh my goodness.

Hold on.

PYO EUN-JI

MODEL

Wait a minute.

Watch her video right now.

Amazing.

Thank you.

I sent her a like

as soon as I saw her video.

I'll watch it just ten more times.

Hello.

I'm Jinjeolme.

-Could I see your video?

-It's really not that good.

-It's boring.

-Please watch mine too.

I don't have much experience

with this stuff.

JANG KEUN-SUK

ACTOR

Is this it?

That's it.

It takes a lot of confidence

to submit something like this.

-Could I see yours?

-Yes.

The world of short-form videos

is so unfamiliar to me.

As soon as he saw mine,

he said, "You've got some nerve" and left.

That gave me a reality check.

Hello.

Could I see yours?

Yes, but don't expect too much.

Hello, I'm Jin Yong-jin,

and I'm a YouTuber.

I'll be on The Influencer

to prove myself as an influencer.

I'm confident, and I'll try my best.

Let's go!

SHERRY SENT JIN YONG-JIN A DISLIKE

MIN CHAN-GI SENT JIN YONG-JIN A DISLIKE

I sent Yong-jin a dislike.

When I saw his video,

MIN CHAN-GI

(EX) PRO GAMER

I thought it was too simple.

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

I'm getting so many dislikes.

Do you know how to open this?

Thank you.

I'm a big fan of yours.

-Do you like to drink?

-I do.

Me too. Let's have a drink together.

Have you sent a lot of likes or dislikes?

No, I haven't really used mine.

My video isn't really up to par,

so I'm standing by.

-Nice to meet you.

-Likewise.

Cheers.

My goodness.

I'm getting worn out already.

CHAHONG

HAIRSTYLIS

People generally like me,

so I initially thought

I'd get a decent amount of likes.

Then I saw everyone

sharing likes with each other.

I'm giving you one of my last likes.

YOU SENT A LIKE TO SHIM EU-DDEUM

YOU SENT A LIKE TO TARZAN

Let's exchange likes.

-You want to?

-Yes.

YOU SENT BBOGUMI A LIKE

YOU SENT JUNWOO A LIKE

YOU SENT LEE SEON-MIN A LIKE

YOU SENT HEHEONNI A LIKE

I sent you a like.

-I'll send you one first.

-Thanks.

YOU SENT PANIBOTTLE A LIKE

YOU SENT JANG JI-SOU A LIKE

Thankfully, I knew a lot of people.

I quickly exchanged likes

with the people I trust

and am close to.

Everyone's busy exchanging likes.

-Shall we exchange likes?

-Sure.

Let's do it.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

A lot of people

exchanged likes with each other.

If you think about it,

they've invested

their 15 votes in themselves.

The problem is the dislikes.

How would I have planned this

if I were the producer?

I kept thinking about

what I would have done.

-Come here.

-Okay.

Hear me out.

Are people really voting

based on how good the videos are?

No, they vote based on popularity.

Then hear me out.

We saw the ranking, right?

Those with the most subscribers

or the most famous

start off with an advantage,

so this is a political game.

It definitely is.

You're right.

Let's send the 60 million won home.

-Who?

-Why don't we send her home?

They said we'd share her worth.

So target one person?

We have to eliminate her.

But

what matters isn't sending likes

but sending dislikes.

We have to use them anyway.

We should make a team of about 15 people

and send targeted dislikes

while exchanging likes amongst ourselves.

Who do we target then?

The rich.

Then we might be a target too.

-But we're

-I don't think we should do that.

Our actions won't be justified.

If we target the rich,

they'll say we're rich too.

We can't have worth as our standard.

We can't.

Let's target

the short-form creators instead.

It's true that short-form creators

and TikTokers are a threat.

The mindset needed for a survival show

is to find the best way to survive

by any means possible.

To survive even one more round,

I thought it would be wise

to strike first.

Let's make it a w*r.

YouTubers versus TikTokers.

-Target one side?

-Yes.

It's not a bad idea.

We need to survive this round

to move on anyway.

Sending friends likes

could be a game changer.

We decided to give them

a valid reason to vote.

-You're a YouTuber, right?

-Yes.

I kind of have a strategy.

Since the TikTokers are ahead

-Target them?

-Let's focus our dislikes on them.

-I'm sure everyone will agree.

-Yes.

-Target whoever's not one of us?

-Yes.

-Okay.

-I think

-Target TikTok?

-It could be a good idea.

The thing is,

isn't a TikToker in first place?

-Wasn't the person worth 70 million

-Yes.

-How many below her were

-She's right there.

-How many below her were

-She's right there.

She's the richest here.

-Do you want to see mine?

-Sure.

-I want to see yours.

-My goodness.

She was right here.

Here.

-What were you talking about?

-You mean my plan?

When I heard about their plan

to target and eliminate me,

I realized I was in trouble.

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

I'm sure you're getting a lot of likes.

I'm actually getting dislikes.

I also got some.

Are you done?

Are you taking a break?

I feel so discouraged.

Why did I have to have so many followers?

I'm scared.

I guess people could target you.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

You must be scared.

I put so much effort into my video,

and it didn't deserve dislikes.

I just felt so upset

that people sent me dislikes

just because they wanted to win.

I think it could be a good idea

for the TikTokers to band together

and send targeted dislikes.

How?

-We need to survive first.

-You're right.

A group of TikTokers

sending 15 dislikes to 1 person

could be a good idea.

I do think

we'll need to be strategic to survive.

This is turning into a w*r of platforms.

So what I've been telling people is,

let's target the short-form creators.

I heard our leader is here.

-The leader of the YouTubers.

-Who said that?

Everyone told me to go to you.

-Are you serious?

-Well,

we were discussing the plan.

How am I the leader?

You're the YouTubers' leader.

-Please lead us.

-It's simple.

-I'll fight if I need to.

-Let's target

I'll take their phones.

Doing this brings up our video, right?

Ow, that stings.

Are you okay? Ow, what the

What's going on?

Did I zap you?

What was that?

-What's all this static?

-I'm an electric guy.

Okay, hear me out.

I'm a big fan of Needmorecash.

-Who?

-Needmorecash.

But unfortunately,

he has to go.

-What's he called?

-Needmorecash.

-Needmore

-Needmorecash.

-Our leader picked our target for us.

-I watch his videos all the time.

It's settled then.

-That's all I need.

-He only films short-form videos.

-You're right.

-Okay, I'll target him.

-Do I send a dislike?

-Do it.

-Okay.

-This is how we survive.

Who else do we target, sir?

Go and tag people's collars.

Then take note of the short-form creators.

Meeting over.

I knew it.

I knew I could count on him.

YOUNGALNAM SENT SIAJIWOO A DISLIKE

To keep surviving

Listen to our leader.

-Who said I was the leader?

-I'm going to follow his orders.

-I

-Everyone pointed to you.

Boss!

I could take people's phones away.

-You shouldn't do that.

-No?

-I shouldn't?

-Of course not.

All right, I'll do it if we're desperate.

-How about that?

-No.

No?

-Come here.

-Yes.

We really need to exchange likes now.

If we run out of likes later,

-Then we can't.

-then we can't send any.

-They might run out too.

-Exactly.

I got it.

Are you looking for a mate?

Could I be your mate?

What's going on?

The talent show will begin now.

All right.

Talent show?

If you want to show yourself off,

go up on the circular stage

and participate in the talent show.

Will you do it?

MAGENTA

STREAMER & YOUTUBER

I'm not confident enough.

Would people really send likes

based on what they see up there?

I think they would do the opposite.

Is anyone going up?

Could I use this mic?

-Of course.

-Thank you.

Is anyone here

ready to show off their talent?

Who's ready?

Whoever goes first has an advantage.

You need to get up here

before people run out of likes.

-If people run out of likes,

-You should go up.

-there would be no point.

-Me?

-I have a bad feeling about this.

-It's okay.

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

I got a dislike

just for talking into the mic.

-It's a bad idea to go up.

-Exactly. It backfires.

This is brutal.

I'm so nervous.

You got this.

KEJIMIN

TIKTOK CREATOR

Let's go!

You got this!

-Isn't she a TikToker?

-What?

-She's a TikToker, right?

-Yes.

Jeez, she has over 10 million followers.

KEJIMIN

11.3M

She's basically reminding us

-to send her a dislike.

-Exactly.

YOUNGALNAM SENT KEJIMIN A DISLIKE

You should send it a bit later.

Sending it now might mess with her head.

Did you send it already?

-She's not looking at her phone.

-True.

YOOXICMAN SENT KEJIMIN A DISLIKE

FITVELY SENT KEJIMIN A DISLIKE

I'm scared I might stumble.

Is she a dancer?

-A dancer?

-I'm not sure.

I think she's a TikToker.

I'm KEJIMIN!

She's so flexible.

Did she used to be a dancer?

She's part of a Taekwondo team

called Taekwoncre.

-Give me a big hand!

-Applause!

-She does Taekwondo, doesn't she?

-She does.

-That's what I heard.

-She's awesome!

That was so good.

-She has 11 million followers?

-Let's send her home.

She should go home and make videos.

You were great.

-Really?

-Good job.

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

What?

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

-What's wrong?

-I'm getting dislikes.

-Dislikes?

-What do I do?

I was stunned.

I performed every dance I knew

in order to survive

and sat back down,

thinking I did a great job.

Then I looked at my phone

and saw that I received seven dislikes.

I forgot to breathe for a second.

If I hadn't gone up on stage,

I wouldn't have gotten those dislikes.

I don't get it.

I'll follow your order right away.

-You don't know GATO, do you?

-No.

He's obviously a TikToker.

Look, I'm not even doing anything.

There are people targeting others.

I got another one

when I'm just sitting here.

Here's the thing.

These dislikes come in bunches

at the exact same time.

This must be from a group.

Let's stop here for now

and send the rest 20 minutes later.

-See you later. I'll go check them out.

-Let's get the big names first.

I think this is my chance.

-Let's go!

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

I got so many dislikes

after going on stage.

I also got a lot.

Just don't go up there.

-It's best to stay lowkey.

-Right.

It could be better to just sit here.

I have something prepared,

but I'm scared to go up.

-You should go.

-No, I really don't want to.

If you're not confident,

it's better not to go.

Don't get any unnecessary dislikes.

The stage is so empty.

People are afraid to go up

and get dislikes.

People need to go up and perform.

But they'll get dislikes.

The producers would have expected that.

-Are things getting boring?

-Yes.

Dislikes are the key.

-Are they?

-Yes.

-Are you out of likes?

-Yes.

-But I have a lot of dislikes left.

-Right.

What do I do with my dislikes?

-I can't bring myself to send them.

-Me neither.

Dislikes are harder to send.

Exactly.

This is a dilemma.

Either you send a dislike

to someone you want to eliminate

or someone you really don't like.

You're right.

We have to do something.

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

I just heard a notification alarm.

-Someone sent something?

-I got another dislike.

I got a dislike too.

Maybe I need to shut up.

This is so tough.

CADDIEWANNY

GOLF YOUTUBER

-Hello.

-Hello.

What do I do? Hello.

-Are you out of likes?

-Me?

Yeah, I'm out.

How are you already out?

Could you give me a like?

Come on.

If you don't, I'll give you a dislike.

-I'll give you a dislike.

-That's so mean.

Just give me a like

-and I won't do it.

-That's so mean!

You should hurry.

Come on, Wanny.

-Don't do this to me.

-Think about it.

I'll see you again.

I should keep doing this.

-How many likes do you have left?

-I'm out.

-Give me one.

-What? I can't do that!

-If you don't, I'll send you a dislike.

-You can't do that!

What a scam.

-What is this?

-Come on, man.

-Hey.

-That's your strategy?

-I'll send you a dislike then.

-Wait.

I need to survive.

-Just give me a like then.

-Hold on a second.

-VVELY.

-Yes?

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Do you have any likes left?

-I do.

-Please send me one.

-Send me one too.

-Well, I ran out.

-Then I can't send you any.

I'll have to send you a dislike then.

-Is he threatening me?

-I'm sorry.

Listen to what he's saying.

You'll send her a dislike?

-I'm serious.

-Did you hear that?

I suggest you try not to get any dislikes.

Do you have any likes left?

-I do.

-I'm out of likes.

Can you send me one?

-If you don't,

-My precious like.

I'll send you a dislike.

You dirty

All right.

-Are you out of likes?

-No, I still have some.

-How many?

-About four.

Can you send me one?

-How many do you have?

-I already ran out.

I only exchange likes for likes.

Then I'll have to

send you a dislike. Sorry.

-Don't do that to Eu-ddeum.

-Saying you'll send me a dislike

if I don't send you a like

out of nowhere is not fair at all.

-Let's exchange then.

-Am I wrong?

Exchange what? You ran out.

I actually have one.

-Why are you playing with me?

-I'm just

-I don't like that.

-I'm just kidding.

I don't know

if it's because you're too young

or haven't experienced life enough,

but I think you've made a mistake.

What you said is basically a threat.

I think it's best I leave you then.

-Send her a like.

-It's all right.

Send me one too.

YOU SENT CADDIEWANNY A DISLIKE

The guy in the blue shirt

is telling people

he'll send them dislikes

if they don't send him likes.

I overheard him a while ago.

-He made a threat?

-Yes.

-That's too much.

-What's his name?

It's Caddiewanny.

SHERRY SENT CADDIEWANNY A DISLIKE

-I sent him a dislike.

-Who?

-To the weird guy from a while ago.

-That guy?

What's his name?

He tried to pressure people

-to send him a like.

-Help me find him.

I hate rude people like him.

IAMKATIECUTIE SENT CADDIEWANNY A DISLIKE

-Are you out of likes?

-I got a dislike.

I ran my mouth too much.

I keep getting dislikes. This is crazy.

Who is it?

Jeez, I got another dislike!

What do I do?

I kept thinking while going around

listening to what people were saying.

Most of us probably received

about 15 likes each.

What matters are the dislikes.

Targeting using dislikes

How will things be calculated?

Are the dislikes minus points?

-Yes.

-Is it?

No matter how good you are

at dancing or singing on stage,

it's not easy to get likes.

So there must be something more.

I realized that there must be more

to the 15 dislikes that we receive.

I'm going up.

Yong-jin's about to do something.

Everyone!

-Yes!

-Yes!

I'm not good at singing or dancing,

but I'm an expert

at sensing the mood of a crowd.

We know that well.

Aren't you all hesitant to send

your likes and dislikes right now?

-Yes!

-Yes!

After discussing with several people,

I learned that Jang Keun-suk

has been saying that

TikTokers and Instagram Reel creators

are overrated.

has been saying that

TikTokers and Instagram Reel creators

are overrated.

-Is that true?

-What?

SIAJIWOO

TIKTOK CREATOR

He's straight-up riling everyone up?

If you don't believe me,

then send me your dislikes.

But if you believe me,

then please send Jang Keun-suk dislikes.

Is he out of his mind?

I helped him pop a bottle,

and this is what he does?

I wondered why

he was attacking me all of a sudden.

But I don't care.

I never said what he claimed.

I guess he just wanted attention.

Thank you!

-What was that?

-What?

Why is Yong-jin after you out of nowhere?

-He's been chugging a bottle.

-Really?

I guess he's drunk.

This won't end well for Yong-jin.

-What a guy.

-What's his name?

Jin Yong-jin.

His phone's going to explode.

I have to use my dislike anyway.

You might as well send it to Yong-jin.

Did he do that on purpose?

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

If you think about it,

this show is about proving yourself

as an influencer.

Whether you get

likes or dislikes isn't important.

What matters most is receiving attention.

So getting dislikes

is part of receiving attention.

The thing is,

I've received

a lot of criticism and hate in my life.

I'm a master at being disliked.

To draw attention,

you need to go after the big names.

Attacking them

with some nonsense accusation

tends to have a big impact.

In a way, it was a gamble.

Gather up, TikTokers.

I'm pissed off right now.

We're overrated?

-Were you all shocked?

-My heart raced.

Same here.

I think he had something in mind.

I got a dislike.

It might be Yong-jin.

I got another one!

Goodness.

Yong-jin

Something was fishy.

I knew he had a reason for what he did.

I started getting a lot of dislikes

after his stunt.

Then I realized this round

might not be just about

getting a lot of likes.

I might as well

just get a lot of attention.

Have you sent any likes?

-I think so.

-Are you out?

Let me see.

-Do you have any likes?

-I ran out.

How about dislikes?

I have 15.

Send me a dislike.

-Why?

-I want to go home.

-Please, I'm serious.

-I can't just

-I won't blame you.

-I'll send you one later

if I can't decide.

Come on, just send it now.

It's not difficult.

-You really want to go home?

-Just one.

I can't imagine

staying on for more shoots.

I need to go.

YOU SENT JANG KEUN-SUK A DISLIKE

YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE

-Yong-jin.

-Yes?

-You made a big bet.

-Exactly.

This thing is all about attention.

What matters is

how much attention you can draw.

If that's the case,

then it doesn't matter

whether we get likes or dislikes?

Yes, in my opinion.

Did you get some?

I got a couple of dislikes.

Going up was a bad idea.

-You're right.

-The thing is

-It's a bad idea.

-Right.

We're all divided right now.

Going up just makes you a target.

-That's not it.

-What is it then?

The way I see it, there's no difference

between likes and dislikes.

It's the total number that counts.

Yeah, the total number of likes.

-No.

-What?

I mean the total of likes and dislikes.

People might resent you later

if you turn out to be wrong.

-That's fine.

-Are you saying

-this number matters?

-No, just

I mean, it's all about attention.

PaniBottle.

It's strange how

Keun-suk's asking for dislikes.

So what I'm thinking is

that they might calculate the total number

of likes or dislikes you get.

-No way!

-Hear me out.

There were no conditions

to the likes or dislikes.

They didn't mention

any penalties for getting dislikes.

They didn't.

So just get a lot of everything.

Get attention.

Prove that you can get attention.

-That's it.

-Those who don't get any attention

-will get eliminated.

-That's right.

Any publicity is good publicity.

You're right!

So we need to get dislikes right now.

They anticipated our strategy.

We shouldn't have sent dislikes

to people we wanted to eliminate.

That's it.

-sh*t!

-Exactly.

It might not be true.

We don't know yet.

-It's still unclear.

-It's a gamble.

That's just what we think.

That sounds right.

I thought the point of this game

was to not get any dislikes.

But since I already got a dislike,

I decided to just gamble.

-Do you have any dislikes left?

-Yes.

-Send me one.

-Why?

-I promise I won't send you one.

-Okay.

-Please send me a dislike.

-All right.

Do you have any dislikes left?

Could you send one?

To who?

-To me. I just need one.

-Are you serious?

If my gamble fails,

then I deserve to go home

for failing at this game.

If not, then it was right to gamble.

It might be good to get dislikes as well

since influencers

live off of any attention.

That's a hit or miss.

-Could you send me dislikes?

-Why?

They didn't mention

any penalties for getting dislikes.

So you're going to gamble?

I have crucial information.

We can survive this round

-even with a lot of dislikes.

-Really?

That doesn't sound right.

Having people with a lot of dislikes

move on to the next round

would be unacceptable,

so that's what I told everyone.

-I think just waiting

-Just waiting.

-is the best strategy.

-You're right.

This round is supposed to determine

who has the most influence.

I'm going to hunt for dislikes.

-Are you sure?

-Yes.

A real influencer

should seek positive attention.

I don't care for those who are popular

because they're disliked.

Why is it good to get dislikes?

-It doesn't sound right, does it?

-Definitely not.

It seemed like

I would be getting eliminated anyway,

so I decided to gamble.

-Should we exchange dislikes?

-What's going on with the dislikes?

Things are getting strange.

-I want to gamble.

-Me too.

I'm not sure what to do.

I feel so anxious right now.

What should I do?
