Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Shangyandong, m broadcasting station.

Outside the recording studio.

The four guests participating in today's recording, including Wu Haiyuan, are already preparing to enter.

The assistant PD gestured for the group to sit on the bench outside.

You can clearly hear the sounds coming from the recording studio.

Unlike other shows with their lengthy opening recordings, Radio Star has a very simple opening, and the longest recording time for a single episode is only about 4 hours.

Four hours sounds like a long recording time, but compared to other programs that often take eight, ten, or even more hours, it's considered quite "fortunate".

The MCs are recording the opening sequence.

On the benches in the corridor, the guest performers were also quietly discussing their order of appearance.

Wu Haiyuan remained respectful.

Today, she is not only the youngest artist, but also a junior artist.

The seniors wanted Wu Haiyuan to go in first. Although she's a junior, Wu Haiyuan is the main character of this episode.

When the other guests received the invitation, the writer said that today's episode was for them to share their past rumored romances.

Upon arriving at the broadcasting station and meeting Wu Haiyuan, the senior colleagues instantly understood what it meant.

Everyone knows about trending topics.

In the waiting room, several seniors asked Wu Haiyuan some questions about Han Xijun, and Wu Haiyuan honestly answered them with everything he knew and could say.

Please welcome our guests for today.

The assistant PD reminded everyone to enter.

The four of them stood up at the same time, and Wu Haiyuan walked in front and pushed open the door of the recording studio.

From the moment he stepped into the recording studio, Wu Haiyuan greeted the MC with a bright, sunny smile and constant bows.

It's not the same few MCs as before.

Before recording the show, Wu Haiyuan watched previous videos of "Radio Star". The MCs at that time included Super Junior's senior Cho Kyuhyun, but now it has been replaced by Yoo Se-yoon.

Senior actor Yoon Jong-shin's seat has been taken over by comedian Ahn Young-mi. Standing by the table, Oh Hae-won didn't know where he should sit.

The MCs were all focused on Oh Hae-won, and Ahn Young-mi pointed to the seat closest to the camera, indicating that Oh Hae-won should sit down.

Anyone who has been on a TV show knows that the spot closest to the camera lens is reserved for the main guest.

Throughout the entire program, the camera will consistently show the person in the frame, even when it's not during their own conversations.

It's a good thing, but it's also a burden.

This means that Wu Haiyuan must maintain good facial expression control throughout the entire program.

She also needs to give good responses during the dialogue segments with other guests.

Pull out a chair and sit down.

The MCs immediately began introducing the guests.

From left to right.

The four MCs correspond to the four guests who recorded the show.

Yu Shirun introduced Wu Haiyuan. After exchanging a glance with Wu Haiyuan, Wu Haiyuan maintained his bright smile.

Yu Shirun shook his head and sighed.

Holding the host card, he said, "JYP's ambitious project, a new era monster female idol with all members as aces, the pillar of nmixx, let's welcome the leader of nmixx, Oh Hae-won."

Wu Haiyuan stood up and faced the camera to greet everyone: "Hello everyone, I am Wu Haiyuan, the leader of the new group nmixx. Please take good care of me."

Applause and cheers erupted.

Yu Shirun chimed in, "So beautiful."

Ahn Young-mi chimed in, "That's exactly what I want to look like."

Kim Gu-ra retorted, "Ahn Young-mi can achieve that in her next life."

Jin Zhenguo smiled and exclaimed, "It's been a long time since our show has had such beautiful, young, and energetic guests."

Upon receiving the praise, Wu Haiyuan shyly waved his hands repeatedly.

Jin Zhenguo said, "Don't be shy, Wu Haiyuan is really beautiful."

One sentence triggered Wu Haiyuan's passive skill. As if possessed by a god of entertainment, Wu Haiyuan suddenly turned to the camera, adopting a cool and confident expression, and tossed his long hair, saying: "As long as you look pretty."

Fortunately, someone got Wu Haiyuan's attention.

Yu Shiyun said, "Is this imitating a famous line from Jun Ji-hyun in the drama 'My Love from the Star'?"

Wu Haiyuan clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Yes, finally someone knows!"

The other MCs and guest performers were all wondering which famous scene it was, and outwardly gave Wu Haiyuan's imitation a "great" rating.

Even Kim Gu-ra, known for his sharp tongue, only said, "Oh Hae-won-ssi could try acting in the future."

Wu Haiyuan felt a little regretful.

She didn't know why she suddenly started imitating it.

I had planned to be steady at least in the opening stages and then let loose when the MCs let me showcase my talents, but I just couldn't control my abstract performance at all.

What's a bit "strange" is that the MC and other guests are very tolerant of him.

This show isn't the kind of heartwarming, inclusive, or therapeutic talk show.

Did the company speak to the production team? Or did they speak to the head of the entertainment department at M Broadcasting Corporation to give them a heads-up? Kim Jin-guk, the main MC, seized the opportunity and asked, "I've watched Oh Hae-won's dating show. It's a pleasure to meet him on 'Radio Star' today. Oh Hae-won really has a lively and cheerful personality."

Kim Gu-ra chimed in, "Is it that YouTube show, '72-Hour Blind Date'?"

An Yingmei said, "I saw it too. The person who went on a blind date with Wu Haiyuan is no ordinary person."

Yu Shirun added, "Wu Haiyuan and that person who trended on social media after the show aired."

The other guests looked at Wu Haiyuan with curiosity in their eyes.

Didn't all the guests in the waiting room already know about the trending topic? It seems that no matter what kind of show it is, it all comes down to acting skills.

Laughing and spreading his hands, Wu Haiyuan said, "Yes, I made it to the trending topics with that person and got a lot of flak."

"Get scolded?"

"What happened?"

Faced with various questions, Wu Haiyuan chuckled and said, "That person is too outstanding; it would be abnormal if I didn't get criticized."

His optimism despite being criticized surprised everyone present.

Wu Haiyuan continued, "Of course I'm very grateful to that person. Being criticized also made more people aware of me and the nmixx group." "Wu Haiyuan has a really good attitude."

"Idols should maintain this kind of mentality."

"That's right, at least more people know who you are now."

Kim Jin-guk then asked, "Did Oh Hae-won know who you were with before recording the show?"

Wu Haiyuan shook his head and said, "I had no idea. The show itself is a simulation of real-life blind dates. They only gave me a notebook with basic information about the blind date. When I met that person on the plane, I didn't know that person was such a famous KAIST genius."

Kim Gu-ra interjected, "Is Oh Hae-won's ideal type someone like that?"

Wu Haiyuan was stunned for a moment.

The question Kim Gu-ra asked was not on the list of questions the production team gave her.

Ideal type.

This question really stumped Wu Haiyuan.

She never thought about her ideal type.

Logically, idol artists should be prepared, usually handsome national male actors like Won Bin, Hyun Bin, and Jo In-sung. Suddenly, Han Hee-joon's face flashed through my mind.

The person Wu Haiyuan was reminded of was Han Xijun, which startled him.

My heart was pounding rapidly.

Maintaining composure on the surface, not wanting to create an awkward silence, she slowly said, "Actually, I..."
