The Influencer (더 인플루언서)

The final round of The Influencer.

The second finalist...

14 DAYS BEFORE THE FINAL ROUND

THE INFLUENCER

The game to determine the second finalist

of The Influencer final round.

Comment Battle.

Are we writing comments to each other?

What? Comments? I don't get it.

What's this game about? How to trick the public?

Are we doing a comment war? Posting mean comments?

I used to be an active keyboard warrior

so I'm confident when it comes to this.

An influencer must have an impact,

they must also continually garner public interest and response.

You must now prove your impact through the Comment Battle.

In this game, you must upload a post to your social media

and gather as many comments as possible within a set time limit.

That's crazy.

You can use multiple platforms

and there is no limit to the number of posts you can make.

I can make posts everywhere?

Everywhere.

The total number of comments will be added up for the final tally.

The influencer with the most comments will survive

and advance to the final round

while the influencer with the fewest comments will be eliminated.

You have 50 minutes.

This is hard.

That's not enough time.

Gather as many comments as possible

to secure your spot as the second finalist in the last round.

Getting a lot of comments

is different from getting a lot of likes.

For likes... it's easy to press the button.

But for comments...

If you don't have anything relevant to say,

you don't need to say anything at all.

This sounds hard. I don't know how to go.

I'll pass!

What?

Huh, pass? Is he serious?

PaniBottle used his VIP benefit,

a game skip ticket.

Huh?

-What? -Wow, this is a twist.

I definitely didn't see this coming.

In this round,

the VIP is given a game skip ticket

to avoid an unfavorable outcome.

Oh.

That was it.

This allows a participant to be exempt

from the current game and automatically move on to the next one.

It can be used only once

excluding the final game.

I had to use social media in real time.

I figured if I did some attention-seeking stuff, I'd survive again.

But I wasn't confident I'd come in first.

So I use the benefit at the right time.

PaniBottle decided to drop out.

It's definitely better this way.

I'm actually grateful that PaniBottle did this.

Since PaniBottle dropped out,

I thought it was worth giving this challenge a shot.

I don't really think it's a good idea to upload a lot of posts.

I'm not sure if that would be better.

- That's what I'm saying. -It'll be just scattered.

- I don't think it would be. -Better to do one.

You usually get a lot of comments, right, JIMIN?

I get a thousand comments whenever I post something.

I think KEJIMIN is going to get the most comments.

Since she mentioned she gets a ton.

KEJIMIN is going to get the most comments

'cause she has a large international fan base.

KEJIMIN seemed confident.

She said she gets a thousand comments.

I needed to figure out how I can get a thousand comments.

Jang Ji-sou can easily get people wrapped around his finger like that.

He seems good at that.

It'll be Jang Ji-sou.

He's the king of tricks.

It's nearly impossible to beat him.

He's going to nail this round.

We will now begin the second game of Round 4.

Comment Battle.

Let's do it.

- What am I going to post? - This is nuts.

-This is going to be a good thing. - Let's see.

I've been making a lot of videos about Pakistan lately.

Pakistan is ranked fifth in the world in terms of having the largest population.

Comments... from there have a strong impact.

I get thousands of them.

I firmly believe that they're going to save me in this round.

Let me see. Hmm...

A million views.

Will this work? Will it?

JUICE SEYEON

First, I checked out the social media platforms

of the other contestants,

and it looks like I usually get more comments than them on average.

I thought, if I just upload what I usually do, a selfie

and a few words to accompany it,

then I'll probably make it through to the next round.

Wow, BBOGUMI.

You've got an interesting strategy.

I think I'm going to lose to her.

I look so funny.

I usually get between 100 and 500 comments per selfie I post.

But once I posted this face, like that...

that post ended up getting 3,900 likes total.

I like the idea of annoying people a bit

and provoking them with my photos.

YOU WANNA SAY I'M UGLY BUT YOU ACTUALLY THINK I'M CUTE, DON'T YOU?

To get a lot of comments quickly,

I needed to make it easy for people to comment.

I thought uploading multiple photos

and asking people which one they like the most would do the trick.

GIVEAWAY EVENT

I decided to create an event

which would give away a hundred of my products for free.

I thought it would help to get me more comments faster

than I usually would.

LEAVE A COMMENT FOR A CHANCE TO WIN!

I usually don't get that many comments.

I was a bit worried because I wanted to make a big impact.

However, since I know how to get a lot of comments

on my main platform, AfreecaTV,

I devised a plan based on that.

I posted a photo there first,

along with an event that fans would like.

LEAVE A COMMENT FOR 7 DAYS WORTH OF QUICKVIEW

Then on Instagram, I asked people to comment on

which part of the photo they like the most.

I promised I would give a gift to the last person who left a comment.

Let's see the kind of photos I've taken.

I need the viewers to participate, but I realize that it'd be difficult

to win only with cool or funny photos.

I needed a different plan to win this round.

I sat there and thought about what I wanted to do.

I did post one photo.

I decided I'd also post a photo of my cat.

I was worried 'cause it seems like I wasn't getting a lot of comments.

JUICE SEYEON

8 COMMENTS

I really don't want to be eliminated right now.

-I did something awesome. -What?

This is frustrating. What am I doing wrong?

You killed it. That's great.

My post already has 486 comments.

Look, now it's up to 501.

-Seriously? - Yeah, on AfreecaTV.

Really?

My subscribers love this thing called QuickView

so I told them I'd give it to them for free for seven days if they comment.

A PAID SERVICE ON AFREECATV

I also promised a Lunar New Year gift

to the last person who comments.

-That's a great strategy. - Super cool.

-Good idea. -I didn't know I'd get so many comments.

I can handle it, but it's a lot.

How did you manage to get 500 comments already?

I'm getting none.

I'm out. I can't look.

-It went up. - So fast.

636 COMMENTS

You should do something like this too. You're on AfreecaTV.

Is it 'cause you don't have a lot of favs?

-No, I only have 14,000 favs on AfreecaTV. -At least you have some then.

AFREECATV'S SYSTEM OF SUBSCRIBING TO CHANNELS

This is so nuts.

I haven't gotten this many comments before.

I don't want to do this round.

I want to get out of it.

What? What'd you say?

I said I wish there was a way I could get out of doing this round.

I definitely want this round to be over

-quickly as well. - I want it to be over

and then I could leave. Too much pressure.

I'll come in first and then go.

-Do you think I'll be first? -I think it's a real possibility.

-Do you believe in me? -Yes, I do.

I think my commenters will encourage others to comment.

- You have 500 already. -Yeah, that's right. Seven.

I'm toast.

Want to see this?

Now I have 850 comments.

Whoa!

- Are you for real? - That's seriously crazy.

How can I beat that?

I'm going to be eliminated.

Seyeon is killing it.

'Cause I use my brain.

I know what my viewers like, so I did that.

I won't lie, it was pretty expensive.
