why is mnet so obsessed with survival shows??

[ethereal]

like, three, THREE are about to be happening at the same time, all produced by mnet

 

dance or band for fnc

 

 

 

pentagon maker for cube (already airing)

 

 

 

boys24 for cjen&mmusic

 

 

 

is this too much? are we going to witness some no.mercy type floppage? which show are you interested in the most.

 

my trashy self is about to watch all three

[windy day �]

They rake in the viewers 

[Clover.]

ratings

[SoOnceVelvet]

Didn't they also collaborate with JYP for JYP Sixteen??

[solbinsus]

and they're all for boy groups?? won't be wasting my time 

[Mogwai]

I may watch one when it's all over and I like the group that debuts. I need to know the result to prevent getting too angry like I did with M&M. Never again!

[Lurker in the Abyss]

The high of what they got from Prod101.

Seems like the public like those kind of stuff and was gonna try those formulas again.

they've done a lot

 

win who is next - winner/yg

mix and match - ikon/yg

no.mercy - monsta x/ starship

sixteen- twice/ jyp

produce 101

 

not to mention smtm, though that's more of an audition program.

I don't know but I'm ready for it to die.

I know, but I liked Jinhyeong ): Actually I like both of them but anyway

 

And also I want to make sure I like Pentagon lol

[Black Alien Oppa]

Bcoz they don't pay the idols joining the show like in 101..

reality show = smaller investment, bigger revenue.

i saw a rumor that jinhyeong might be on boys24 actually, but it's baseless according to some inside sources. but who knows, maybe you'll be lucky lol. 

[mintcakes]

Viewership and revenues (ads, voting, I can go on)

[ethereal]

geez guys i wasn't actually asking the title question. my title was sort of just a conversation starter.  i already know why mnet is obsessed with reality tv shows, i was more interested in the questions in the op...

it was before this became a thing for them before that their survival shows are like 2/3 or per year now suddenly they have 6/7 or even 9 lined up for this year

boys24 is the one that follows the P101 format right? Or am I just making things up

[Coolest person on OH]

monsta x had third most physical sales of rookie groups on 2015, how thats floppage? they built decently sized fanbase

[AnonSone]

They are obsessed with the revenue not the show actually. If they can find new profitable business, they will change to that new business.

the show itself flopped. like, as someone who watched it while it was airing, literally no one gave a shit.

somewhat i guess? the're trying to make a 24 member boy group from 125 contestants that will perform in a theater for 365 days. 

[soulxshinigami]

Ratings = Revenue

[♩ ♪ ♫ ♬]

their evil editing is glorious though

[Smartiesâ„¢]

Bcos of money? I didnt like this kind of show..

I don't know but I'm ready for it to die.

 

[MR Removed]

I enjoy it

[Seulo]

Not sure why Mnet keeps trying it with boy groups. It does well with Big 3 groups but they flop otherwise
