Chapter 244
Viewer interest in a program doesn’t last forever. That’s why fresh material, new formats, and a variety of guests are constantly needed to keep it alive.
In that sense, a childcare variety show had a disadvantage.
For the children’s sake, having fixed guests made sense, but to maintain ratings, the show had to keep injecting novelty.
On Chaotic Family Diary, the regular child cast included 10-year-old Han Seeun, 8-year-old Han Jaeun, and their 20-month-old youngest sibling, Han Seol.
In particular, Seeun already had a sharp grasp of how broadcasting worked.
“Why do you like Uncle Hoyun?”
During a short interview with her parents present, Seeun answered crisply.
“His face.”
Then she politely added, “My mom said being handsome is the best,” and began ticking points off on her fingers.
“And that he calls himself ‘ajusshi.’”
The show’s main writer found herself nodding in agreement before she even realized it.
Most past guests had introduced themselves to the kids as “oppa” or “hyung,” “unni” or “noona,” and sometimes “uncle” or “auntie.” But to kids, any adult in the “grown-up” category was basically an ajusshi or ajumma.
