On the morning of the 11th, a production presentation for the original Wavve entertainment 'Queen Bee Game' was held at somewhere in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Monica, Jang Eun-sil, Jeong Hye-in, Seo Hyun-suk, Shin Ji-eun, Marul, Yoon-bi, Lee Dong-gyu, PD Jung Jong-chan, and Kang Sook-kyung attended the meeting.
'Queen Bee Game' is a class survival reality program in which one female leader and three male team members compete for prize money. The production company of Netflix 'Solo Hell' and the writer of 'Physical100' are participating, drawing high expectations.
On this day, producer Jung Jong-chan was inspired by the documentary `Queens' that he happened to see about the background of planning the 'Queen's Game'. The documentary sheds light on the queen's role in animal ecosystems, and it was very desperate to see her compete with other groups and fight for the survival of herds with members."
Then "It looked similar to the way we lived in human society." So I wanted to borrow that world view and make a survival game, and then I embodied it with the artist."
Writer Kang Sook-kyung tried to put a social experimental element because she wanted to differentiate it from the existing survival. I wondered what would happen if people gathered while the class already existed, not during survival. This seemed to show psychological warfare and political conflict more dramatically" he explained.
He also explained that some netizens expressed concerns about the program's concerns regarding 'feminism' and 'feminism'.
Producer Jung Jong-chan said, `We've thought about that enough, too. At first, I thought the concept of 'female leader' in animal ecosystems was very attractive, but the word 'queen bee' is often used negatively online. It was a pity. Actually, there are many wonderful female leaders around us. However, it was difficult to understand why it was used in a negative sense.'
In the meantime, "We produced the program in the hope that the word "queen bee" will be transformed into a symbol of a positive and charismatic leader through this program."," he added.
Writer Kang Sook-kyung said, "The scene in the teaser video was part of the first mission. As you can see from the broadcast, it is not about dividing men and women up and down at all. Then "The center of this program is the relationship between leaders and team members and the world view. Leaders have power, but they have to take that much responsibility, and team members don't know when they're going to be eliminated, so psychological conflicts emerge over which leaders to follow."
"If you watch the broadcast, you will find that such concerns are unnecessary," he said, stressing that "We will focus on the process of understanding each other."
