That's what you call an influencer.
She's the cosplay champion of Korea.
I see a lot of big names.
Each of them must utilize

and prove their value as influencers.
Which of the 77 influencers

Enter the world

are equal to worth and power.
Welcome to the social survival show,
The Influencer.
THE INFLUENCER
What does the number mean?
Hold on, what is this?
I didn't know
it was going to be like this.
Hello, I'm Changhyun,
and I run a YouTube channel
called StreetKaraoke.
I was a streamer
on AfreecaTV for a long time
and decided to also get into YouTube.
Hello. Welcome to
Changhyun's StreetKaraoke.
Who will win the two-million-won prize?
Let's find out.
I've been streaming
for about nine to ten years.
I'll probably be
the longest-running YouTuber here.
Considering that,
I want to survive as long as possible.
Who's that?
He's dressed so formally.
I'm over here in my old T-shirt.
Hello.
I'm Sanghyuk,
and I'm a five-year mukbang YouTuber
with 1.23 million subscribers.
As they say these days,
my content is on fire.
I assumed the people here would be
on a similar level to me if not higher,
but Changhyun's much more popular,
so it was only natural for him to be here.
Sanghyuk?
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Nice to meet you.
-Likewise.
My name is Mejiwoo.
I run several brands
as a brand director and CEO.
I also have a YouTube channel
and an Instagram page.
On Instagram,
I have about 11 million followers.
11.02M FOLLOWERS
I believe that a lot of people
still don't know me,
so I think this could be a good chance
to build some network
with other influencers.
-We're all spread apart.
-I know, right?
Do we have to sit together?
-I don't think so.
-Okay.
Who's that?
This must be it.
Hello, everyone.
Hello.
Wait, am I too early?
My goodness!
Hello, I'm a rising star
and digital clown,
QYOUNG.
Where should I sit?
Hello, nice to meet you.
There's no escape once you fall for me.
I'm QYOUNG. Nice to meet you.
QYOUNG
BEAUTY AND FASHION YOUTUBER
I believe influencers are creators
who have to be imaginative.
As someone who deals with
beauty and fashion,
I also influence people to be artistic.
You remember the underboob trend?
These days, underballs are in.
Underballs, just like this.
It's great for ventilation.
Make sure to film this.
I'm going to have fun here.
Let's go play, QYOUNG!
-Are you okay wearing that?
-Of course.
I see.
-Would you like to touch it?
-No!
-I'm good.
-You can.
Well then
-It's cool, right?
-That's amazing.
I made this myself.
We're kind of twinning today.
-I don't think so.
-We're both wearing green.
-You look great.
-It's nice to meet you.
Hello?
Is this like Battle Royale?
What's this?
"1.97M"?
So what?
I'm PaniBottle, a travel YouTuber.
My main platform is YouTube,
but I've also started
showing up on TV these days.
I wonder what they'll make all of us do
on this show.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
He's my favorite creator.
I love PaniBottle.
PaniBottle!
I've always wanted to meet him.
DOGJOY
DOG YOUTUBER
He's a top contender.
BBOGUMI
STREAMER & YOUTUBER
When I saw PaniBottle walk in,
I sensed that he'd be the winner.
-Hi.
-Hello.
Hello.
-Hello.
-Is this your everyday outfit?
Yes.
Wow.
This is interesting.
Do you know what this is?
I think
it shows your subscriber count
and how big your channel is.
You're right. The "M" stands for million.
So it shows the number of followers.
From the outset, this isn't a fair game.
If the number of followers is a factor,
then I can start off well.
I'm confident I can compete
with the others.
This makes everything
feel so hierarchical.
It's scary how we've all been
graded like this.
Hello.
Hello.
HAN A-REUM-SONG-E
FIRST-GEN ONLINE BEAUTY STAR YOUTUBER
-Come on!
-Hello.
-Hi Pure.D!
-She's an elf.
Pose for us.
Strike an elf-like pose.
-So that's how it's done.
-Yes, you look mystical.
PURE.D
SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKEUP YOUTUBER
Look at those hands.
What are those hands?
-We dressed up too much.
-I know, right?
-So it looks like this.
-What's this?
-Look at you.
-You're just the same.
-Goodness.
-That's right.
I'm exhausted already.
Someone's coming.
What?
Welcome! I was waiting for you.
Is he a TikToker?
He's Needmorecash.
He makes a lot of short-form content.
NEEDMORECASH
SHORT-FORM CREATOR
-He's too intimidating.
-I've been waiting.
I knew he'd show up.
-Look at his pecs.
-Oh my gosh!
Goodness.
Is he a robot?
That's what you call an influencer.
I'm Needmorecash,
and I try to entertain my audience
through short-form videos.
I have a special alter-ego that went viral
where I'm in a suit,
so I'll be in character when I walk out.
The thing is,
that character doesn't speak.
I'm not sure what we'll be doing,
so I'll just try to stay in character.
Hello.
Would you like some champagne?
He's staying in character.
How long will he keep that up?
Yes, hello.
So he doesn't speak?
It's nice to meet you.
What's the point of his mic then?
What's this?
Are we starting already?
This is kind of scary.
Wasn't this supposed to be fun?
What is this?
Okay, this is kind of hip.
I'm on TV, Mom.
JANG JI-SOU
CONTENT CREATOR
Formerly Quaddurup, now Jang Ji-sou.
I'm a YouTuber
with 1.2 million subscribers.
-What's wrong with you?
-My apologies, sir!
-Do you have an attitude problem?
-No, sir!
There's a reason why
survival shows like to cast me.
A lot of influencers
are too worried about getting hate,
but I don't care.
That's my strength.
And I know
a lot of influencers personally.
I promise you this.
If I don't know
a single person on the show,
I'll quit YouTube.
I'm expecting this response.
"Hey, that's Quaddurup!"
Hey, that's Quaddurup.
I'm also expecting this.
-"Hi!"
-Hi!
-Hi, Ji-sou.
-Hello.
Hello.
I think Ji-sou knows everyone here.
Good to see you.
Did you try scanning this?
What do you mean?
I scanned it with my phone,
and it said
it's not time to watch the Shorts yet.
-What?
-What is it?
What?
-What is this?
-Have you tried scanning this?
See how smart he is?
PARK SEO-A
CHAT YOUTUBER
Ji-sou's been on several survival shows,
-So he knows how this works.
-so he knows what to look out for.
I feel like he's going to win.
I'm already jealous.
SHIM EU-DDEUM

Just this morning,
I followed along
with her stretching video.

I think OKING would be good at
survival shows.

OKING is pretty intimidating.

-Hey, OKING!
Welcome!
Hello, I'm OKING,
and I'm a multi-genre content creator.
Of all the Korean YouTubers,
I definitely rank in the top three
of the most talkative.
I'd even be a simple soldier,
a rower on a turtle ship.
HEAVE-HO
Male friends and female friends
are different!
Try taking a shower together then!
My goal is to go to the final rounds.
Let's show them why I'm called a king.
Look at this setup.
Hello.

Amazing.
This is so cool.
I've never seen him in person.
It's Jin Yong-jin!

-It's Yong-jin!
JIN YONG-JIN

Yong-jin is legendary.
He's up there.
Yong-jin's a top contender.
-Yong-jin.
-Yong-jin.
I've always been a big fan
and was surprised to see him here.
KIM DDOLDDOL
GAY YOUTUBER
He plans, directs, films, and edits.
He does it all.
He's created lots of game shows
LITTLE SUNG-YUP
FITNESS YOUTUBER
so it feels like he's here as a producer,
not as a participant.
He's a favorite to win.
He's a real big shot.
Hello, I'm Jin Yong-jin,
and I'm a YouTuber and director
with 2.7 million subscribers.
I started out with videos
that provided answers
to people's curiosities.
I also created
the survival show Money Game.
I'm currently directing the web series
Movies That Don't Exist.
I'm excited to see who'll be on this show,
and I wonder
if they'll be how I expect them to be.
-I wasn't expecting him.
-Same here.
You usually produce these kinds of shows.
-Hello.
-Yes, hello.
OKING.
They pulled out all the stops
to get everyone on the show.
I see a lot of big names.
All of the big YouTubers are here.

She's pretty.
JUICE SEYEON

Right? You look great on stage.
Do you know her personally?
-We collaborated recently.
-Yeah?
-What does she do?
-She's a streamer.
She's a streamer.
She's a streamer on AfreecaTV?
Hey, is she on AfreecaTV?
-That's right.
-I see.
Are you interested in her?
Why are you suddenly so energetic?
Could you put your collar on properly?
-It has to go like this.
-What are you doing?
-How?
-Turn it around.
Why did you click on me?
I'm Juice Seyeon,
and I mostly stream on AfreecaTV.
I'd say I'm one of the top three streamers
on the platform.
I think I'm an influencer
who shares positive vibes
and makes my viewers happy
through my content.
My goal is to get
a lot of love and popularity here.
I'm going to chew everyone up.
Hello.
You look like
you're at an awards ceremony.
-Hello.
-You're so pretty.
Thank you.
You look like Jang Won-young.
-Don't say that.
-You're so pretty.
-Can you say something?
-He won't.
Even if I tickle him?

Gentlemen.
RISABAE
FIRST-GEN BEAUTY CREATOR
Hello, everyone.
I'm RISABAE, and I've been creating
beauty content for eight years
for my 2.25 million
little ladies and gentlemen.
It's nice to meet you.
I share beauty information and tips
through fun makeup videos
that my fans can enjoy.
I used to be a professional makeup artist,
so I have the know-how
to help anyone do their own makeup.
My viewers are also entertained
by my humor.
It's RISABAE.
Here's a real big shot.
RISABAE!
I'm such a big fan.
I watch her live streams every day.
KIM WOO-HYEON
MODEL
To me, she's an artist.
My little ladies and gentlemen
are everywhere.
So I thought they'd be here too
since my fans can be found anywhere.
-Hello.
-I need to take a picture with you.
She's so skinny.
-Could I take a picture too?
-Hi, Ddolddol.
-You know me? Thank you so much!

Of course she does.
-Thank you for saying that.
-You smell good.
QUEEN WA$ABII
RAPPER
Queen WA$ABII's just killing it.
How are they not tired?
LIM HYUN-SEO
LAWYER
What?
I was initially worried
that I'd look too weird
with the fake tattoos and the wig.
Then I saw someone with green hair
and someone wearing underwear and pants.
Well, I'm also wearing them,
but he was wearing them a bit differently.
Normally, you'd only see someone's pants.
But with him,
you could see the underwear as well.
That's something you just can't beat.
QYOUNG's wild outfit.
THISISMATÉ
BEAUTY AND FASHION YOUTUBER
QYOUNG looked fierce.
Someone beat my wardrobe.
I didn't expect to see someone
dressed like that here,
considering that we'd all be seen
by a global audience on Netflix.
What's that sound?
-It sounds like a car.
-Is it from a mic?
-Something's happening.
-A mic?
What's he doing now?
-What's that?
-Oh my gosh!
-Isn't that a supercar?
-Amazing.
Oh my goodness!
-He looks so stylish.
-It's BBULKUP!
Hey!
Look at him. So luxurious.
-Look at his shoes.
-This is hilarious.
Hello, I'm BBULKUP.
I run a food business
and a YouTube channel,
and I also dabble in hip-hop,
among other things.
BBULKUP
FOOD BUSINESS CEO
I drive a limited-edition Lamborghini
with only 500 to 600 units worldwide,
the Aventador SuperVeloce.
That's "really damn fast" in Italian.
Is that a minivan?
There's another car.
That's really fresh.
Hello.
-Do-young?
-Hello.
It's him!
My name is Kim Do-young.
I run Kim's Fruits,
which is a digital printing brand.
I go around selling my fruit shirts
or giving them away.
Now, I can say
that I'm a Netflix-approved influencer.
That's so cute!
THE SON OF KIM BONG-SU AND KWON HYE-JU
KIM DO-YOUNG APPEARS ON NETFLIX
-Welcome!
-Welcome!
Let me bow to my parents.
Goodness.
He's a good son.
He's the pride of Taebaek.
That's hardcore!
His outfit's more expensive than mine.
Hello, I'm Hwang Jae-keun,
and I'm a fashion designer.
I have a distinctive face,
so I'm sure people recognize me.
I guess I could be called an influencer.
He creates the masks
on King of Mask Singer.
Really?
I wore a mask that he designed
-and went on the show.
-Really?
You're so cool!
Goodness.
-He's the best!
-I can't believe he's here.
This is a party for extroverts.
We provide a nice contrast.
It can get tiring to watch
if everyone's like that.
Sure.
Who's next?
-Hello.
-Hello.
VVELY
BEAUTY YOUTUBER
-Nice to meet you.
-Hello!
She's very pretty.
-Hello.
-Hi, you're beautiful.
-Thank you.
-This is so cool.
Hello.
Hello, BBULKUP.
You're very pretty.
What's the purpose of this show?
Honestly, Seo-a's the prettiest here.
Let me go tell her that.
They said they were popular in Apgujeong.
-So I asked
-Seo-a.
-Yes?
-You're the prettiest girl here.
No, look at all the other girls.
-They're all
-I'm serious.
You're so damn pretty.
-This is how he says hi.
-You're amazing.
Who's next?
-I can't believe it.
-Who is it?
Here comes the veteran.
This is crazy.
It's DaeDo!
Seriously?
-This is unbelievable.
-DaeDo!
-First gen.
-Hello, everyone.
DAEDO
FIRST-GEN GAMING YOUTUBER
I've been a creator for 13 years,
and I'm basically the founding father
of the Korean YouTube community.
I'm DaeDo.
I connect with my viewers
through gaming content and other things.
-Hello.
-Hi!
Hello.
-The veteran!
-Hello!
He's here?
Netflix went all out!
Seeing all the big names in person
left me stunned.
CADDIEWANNY
GOLF YOUTUBER
-The biggest names are here.
-Hello.
He's a living legend.
I'd say he basically made YouTube.
She's wearing a dress.
Here comes my bride.
She looks amazing.
-Isn't she an actress?
-Yes.
-You're so pretty!
-She's so pretty.
Hello.
KI EUN-SE
ACTRESS
Hello, I'm Ki Eun-se.
I'm an actress
and also an influencer.
On YouTube, I create lifestyle content.
And on Instagram,
I mostly deal with fashion.
She's so pretty. It's unbelievable.
Who is it now?
Who is it?
No idea.
Does that say "27M"?
She has 27 million followers?
DANCEKANG
K-POP DANCE YOUTUBER
BBANGTHUG
SHORT-FORM CREATOR
-How many is that?
-Wait, 27 million?
Hello.
I'm Siajiwoo, a TikTok creator
with 27.5 million followers.
A lot of people are interested
in my dancing and fashion
and enjoy following me.
I'm very proud of what I do.
My goal in coming on this show
is to make myself known more.
It's Siajiwoo!
-Sia!
-Xia Junsu!
Sia!
So pretty!
Twenty-seven million followers is amazing.
-She's on TikTok, right?
-Right.
-TikTok's on another level.
-Exactly.
If you're talking 27.5 million
That's half of Korea's population.
JAY JUNG
STARTUP CEO
It's the combined population
of Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi-do.
Siajiwoo.
She's a TikToker?
Based on TikTok's nature as a platform,
it's hard to judge its creators.
They're likely to be one-dimensional.
DICKHUNTER
COMEDY CREATOR
TikTokers make money too easily.
Who said that?
That annoys me.
It might not be popular in Korea,
but TikTok dominates the industry
in Southeast Asia and America.
It's a platform
that's recognized globally,
so I have to disagree.
"TikTokers are overrated"?
KEJIMIN
TIKTOK CREATOR
Don't look down on short-form creators.
TIKTOKERS: SHERRY 2.3M,
GATO 5.3M, DOCTOR WHO 5M
TikTokers have so many followers.
I'm basically a nobody here.
I shouldn't be here.
I don't want to show my collar.
I'm the real nobody here.
What would that make me?
CONTONI

Hello.
Oh my. Hello.
Hello.
It's CHAHONG!

-I'm your fan!
He's the meat guy!
I love him.
Hello.
I'm Yooxicman, a YouTuber who cooks meat.
My content focuses on cooking meat
and introducing meat dishes
from all over the world.
Wait.
It's Youngalnam.
-Youngalnam.
-Oh wow.
I watched his content just yesterday.
-He talks about soccer and English, right?
-Yeah.
-Amazing.
-Hello.
Hello, I'm Youngalnam,
and I create English-related content
on YouTube.
I mainly make content about English
and also travel.
This is so fun.

That must be her theme.
She's clearly something else!

-She's an actual shaman.
IAMKATIECUTIE
SHAMAN
Hello, I'm iamkatiecutie, and I'm a shaman
who's popular on Instagram.
I'm an actual shaman.

drag shows in Itaewon,
and online, I create short-form content.
I use drag as a theme for all my content.
As an openly queer influencer,
I believe that everything I do

in the same scene as me.
My goodness!
That's GVAN.
I knew GVAN would be here.
-I knew it.
-Exactly.
GVAN!
What's going on?
GVAN's so pretty.
Hello!
He's a guy?
He's a guy.
-I was surprised.
-Same here.
CHARMING JO
MUSIC YOUTUBER
I saw you once at reserve forces training.
KINKY
DANCER
I saw you there.
But I thought you'd be uncomfortable
if I said hello.
Did you go wearing this?
Of course not.
-At training?
-That's right.
It was in Nogosan.
I feel like I've entered
the social media world.
-I feel the same way.
-Everyone's so dressed up.
Will we have a host in person?
-Or will it just be by PA?
-I think so.
-Someone's coming.
-They're the last one.
Is this the last one?
Who's the last one?
What?
He's an actual celebrity.
What?
Is this for real?
I can't believe it.
The Prince of Asia!
My goodness!
He's our host!
Wait, what?
He's our host!
Oh my!
How is Jang Keun-suk here?
-A Netflix original project,
-What?
-The Influencer.
-Oh my goodness.
Hello, I'm Jang Keun-suk!
This is crazy.
-Unbelievable.
-Amazing.
Are you ready to be the influencer?
-Yes!
-Yes!
Okay, here we go.
It's showtime!
This is the real deal!
Hello, everyone.
Thank you.
He's so handsome.
He's the perfect host.
For a second,
I thought he was participating.
-He's the perfect host.
-Exactly.
We're still one short.
He has the collar on.
Why does he have one on?
Is he also competing?
We can see his follower count.
He must be contestant No. 77 then.
This is crazy.
Hello, I'm Jang Keun-suk,
and I'm an up-and-coming influencer.
I'm ready to learn from you all!
He's No. 77.
So we have to compete against a celebrity?
It's almost unfair to go against him.
How is he a contestant?
He recently started a YouTube channel,
so you could say he's a novice influencer.
Hello.
It's me,
Jang Keun-suk.
I've been an actor for 33 years,
as well as a singer in Japan.
Basically, I've been working very hard.
I only started my YouTube channel
nine months ago,
so I'm a newbie influencer.
Looking back,
I think I could say
I was the first-generation influencer.
I both rose and fell
on a platform called Cyworld.
I was very young then,
so I made the mistake
of being too pretentious,
but I learned from that.
You could say I'm a ready-made influencer.
My experiences back then
probably led me to be on this show.
He's a real influencer.
He's the Prince of Asia
and also a YouTuber,
so he fits this show well.
He's a global star.
-Why would he be here?
-Isn't he more of a celebrity?
His fanbase would give him an advantage.
He shouldn't be here.
We're all here
hanging around like little kids,
and he's a real celebrity.
He needs to be eliminated.
-Hello. Good to see you.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-You tricked us just now.
Are you a contestant too?
You're the host, right?
No, I'm a contestant.
-You are?
-I could get eliminated today.
-Can I sit here?
-Of course.
We're sitting with Jang Keun-suk!
HEO SEONG-BEOM, MODEL
RISABAE, FIRST-GEN BEAUTY CREATOR
OKING
STREAMER & YOUTUBER
There are so many famous people.
It's crazy how we're all here together.
Are you okay, Yong-jin?
Yes, I was just thinking.
-What to do?
-Yes, what I should do.
You're the best at deduction here.
JIN YONG-JIN
YOUTUBER & DIRECTOR
I definitely have
the most experience with these things.
I'm probably the best
at figuring out hidden intentions.
This is a competition.
We might be friendly,
but we're all here to compete.
Whoever's on top will be worried.
They might think winning's a given
with so many followers.
But targeting them
could be a good strategy.
I have a decent number of followers,
so I think I have a chance.

It's simple.
I just need to beat everyone else.
ALL 77 INFLUENCERS HAVE ENTERED
-What's going on?
-I'm scared.
To the 77 influencers who represent Korea,
welcome.
Through a series of survival games,
you will be competing to decide
which one among you
is the most influential.
There will be a total of five rounds.
After Round 1,
only 30 of you will remain.
-After today? Right now?
-Yeah.
Right here?
I imagined
they'd keep at least half of us,
but 30 is cutting it a little too close.
I'm competing against
so many talented people.
Can I do this?
Only the strongest will survive this.
I think I could get eliminated.
No, this isn't good!
Forty-seven are going home today.
From the first round?
-That's too many.
-The number on your collar
shows the follower count
on your main platform.
Is that so?
You have over a million, right?
Here is the ranking of all 77 influencers
based on follower count.
They're ranking us?
Oh my god.
Ranking us by follower count?
Why are they ranking us?
-What is this?
-Come on.
Why are you exposing us?
I'm so scared. I don't like this.
I'm going to be a target.
I'm worried about that too.
Here is the ranking of all 77 influencers
based on follower count.
FOLLOWER RANKING
Why show this to us?
This is so embarrassing. I might be last.
Oh my god.
FOLLOWER RANKING
7TH, JIN YONG-JIN, 2.69M
10TH, RISABAE, 2.25M
I'm in a good position for now.
11TH, OKING, 2.1M
15TH, SHIM EU-DDEUM, 1.6M
16TH, DAEDO, 1.51M
It really reminded me
that I'm here to be evaluated.
30TH, KI EUN-SE, 775K
Even Keun-suk's only thirty-fourth.
34TH, JANG KEUN-SUK, 623K
Keun-suk's only thirty-fourth.
This could be a fair fight.
My ranking is so low.
53RD, KIM DDOLDDOL, 223K
I've never been fiftieth
at anything before.
I felt so embarrassed.
71ST, KINKY, 75K
74TH, KERRIGAN MAY, 45K
I'm screwed.
I'm way out of my league here.
I'm not last!
76TH, IAMKATIECUTIE, 32K
I'm not last!
I'm last.
This is brutal.
77TH, HWANG JAE-KEUN, 17K
Who's first?
1ST, SIAJIWOO, 27.5M
Twenty-seven million?
-Seriously?
-No one can beat that.
Who's Siajiwoo?
Do you know who Siajiwoo is?
Who are Siajiwoo and KEJIMIN?
-You're first.
-What do we do?
1ST, SIAJIWOO, 27.5M, TIKTOK
We're screwed.
2ND, KEJIMIN, 11.3M, TIKTOK
We're even sitting together.
Exactly!
How did we sit together like this?
All top six influencers are TikTokers.
5TH, GATO, 5.3M, TIKTOK
I'm just happy I beat Doctor Who.
6TH, DOCTOR WHO, 5M, TIKTOK
-Is he your rival?
-I can go home now.
8TH, SHERRY, 2.3M, TIKTOK
The winner of The Influencer
will receive
300 million won.
What?
Now we're talking!
300 million won?
I started breathing heavy.
How nice would it be
to get 300 million won?
I made up my mind to win that prize.
I have a debt
of 300 million won right now.
I thought of it as a chance from above.
It's a lot of money, you know?
The competition's going to be intense.
On The Influencer,
your follower count represents your worth.
-What?
-Come on, really?
And here,
your worth determines your ranking
and your power.
-Ranking and power?
-Unbelievable.
We will show you your worth
calculated by the proportion
of your follower count
to the final prize of 300 million won.
Our worth?
-They're converting it?
-Yeah.
-So more followers means more money?
-Yes.
I'm scared.
It's on your collar.
-Oh my!
-On our necks.
SHIM EU-DDEUM
CONVERTED WORTH: 4.01M
770,000.
HEO SEONG-BEOM
CONVERTED WORTH: 770K
Why are you all so cheap?
JINJEOLME
CONVERTED WORTH: 200K
You're worth 27.63 million!
MEJIWOO
CONVERTED WORTH: 27.63M
-She's over 26 million!
-She's worth 26.33 million!
SSOYOUNG, 26.33M
You're so rich!
All of a sudden,
I started holding my head high
and fixed my posture.
I'm only worth one million won!
How much am I?
-730,000.
-Really?
My worth was so low.
I couldn't even hold my head up.
Maybe we can use this money for something.
You're worth 5.64 million.
I was happy.
I thought I had a good chance.
-I could use your help.
-No, I need help too.
I was worth 3.08 million won.
Instead of pure follower count,
converting that to money value
seemed more stimulating and fun.
Looking at my worth
made me feel vulnerable
and exposed.
This is tough.
I'm rarely behind in real life,
but here I'm lagging.
I'm 1.94 million.
Well, it didn't make me happy.
I knew I was worth more than this.
-630,000 won.
-Seriously?
Not even one million won?
They're doing this on purpose.
-They're pissing me off so much.
-On purpose.
How am I only worth 190,000?
"How dare you decide what I'm worth?"
That's how I felt.
This is so mean. I feel so ashamed.
I'm worth the gas for my ride back home.
110K
This is frustrating.
How much is first place worth?
I wonder how much Siajiwoo is worth.
We need to cover our collars.
Can I see yours?
Can I see it, please? How much is it?
How much are you worth?
Sixty million won!
-Sixty million?
-Oh dear!
-68.9 million?
-Hey.
Goodness.
She's worth 60 million won.
-Sixty million won?
-Yes.
I felt a lot of pressure then.
Well,
everyone's attention was on me.
I was very scared.
The worth of the eliminated
will be absorbed by the survivors.
So that all adds up to 300 million?
-That makes sense.
-Right?
And whoever survives until the end
will win 300 million won.
I need to target Siajiwoo then.
If you take her 60 million won,
-then you're first.
-Exactly.
Influencers,
Round 1 will begin now.
I'm so excited! This will be fun!
-Let's go!
-Let's do this.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
I'm nervous.
Round 1 will be based on voting.
-Voting?
-Why?
-Oh shit.
-Voting?
What kind of vote?
Starting now,
you must cast 15 likes and 15 dislikes
for a total of 30 votes.
Oh my god.
Dislikes?
This is scary.
-I can't breathe.
-I'm so scared.
All votes will be anonymous,
and you will vote on The Influencer app
which is installed on your phones.
You will have
two hours.
Two hours?
They're giving us two hours just for this?
I wondered if two hours
was really necessary for this.
We'll have to convince each other.
-You're right.
-That's right.
And you shouldn't do anything
to earn a dislike.
Let's be friends.
All right.
Additionally, each collar
is embedded with an NFC chip
that contains a short-form video
introducing whoever is wearing the collar.
Tag the collar of any influencer
you want to know more about.
Then you will be able to watch
their short-form introduction video.
Like this?
Furthermore, an opportunity
for influencers to show their talents
will be announced soon.
Voting will now begin.
-Let's go!
-This is brutal.
I want to see yours.
So first, I
This is it!
You can just vote like that?
YOU RECEIVED A LIKE
-I got a notification that I got a like.
-Yes.
YOU RECEIVED A LIKE
My strategy was to get
a lot of likes and a few dislikes.
Influencers always want likes.
Whoever gets the most likes wins.
Please vote for me.
I think everyone here likes you.
-Really?
-So I'm really happy.
Everyone here was so happy to see you,
including me.
RISABAE, you're the person
I was happiest to see.
-Really?
-I'm a fan of yours.
I started streaming on AfreecaTV
after I was inspired by your videos.
-You're Seo-a, right?
-Yes.
I just have to send you a like.
Did you really?
-Thank you so much.
-I love you.
YOU RECEIVED A LIKE
JUNGHYUN SENT RISABAE A LIKE
Thank you.
-Oh my goodness.
-It's so nice to meet you.
-I'm such a big fan.
-Thank you.
When my channel gets bigger,
-I'd like to work with you.
-Sounds good.
I thought I had an advantage
in terms of receiving likes
since most people
were very friendly to me.
People voted for me
while telling me how much they loved me.
-It's such an honor.
-Same here.
You're Heo Seong-beom
from KAIST, aren't you?
-I sent you a like.
-Thank you.
JINJALIM SENT HEO SEONG-BEOM A LIKE
YOU RECEIVED A LIKE
Hello, I'm Heo Seong-beom.
I'm 24, and I'm a student at KAIST.
HEO SEONG-BEOM
MODEL
What's wrong with my pronunciation?
Well, this is my fourth time filming this.
My "KAIST Student Teaches Calculus" video
suddenly went viral,
and my followers increased
from 60K to about 300K
in less than a month.
I was very surprised.
That's me.
I thought I saw you somewhere!
Thank you.
-I'll send you a like.
-Thank you.
CLAIRE SENT HEO SEONG-BEOM A LIKE
Oh my goodness,
I know where I've seen you.
I sent this to my friend
when I first saw it.
Oh yeah?
A lot of people recognized me
after watching my video.
I'm still taking baby steps,
but I was happy
that people gave me recognition.
I just got two dislikes.
Really? How do you know?
It notifies you.
It just pops up.
"You received a dislike."
-Does it show the total?
-It doesn't.
I guess it's not that good
to be too famous.
Yeah.
People send me dislikes
-just so they can eliminate me.
-I see.
Without even watching your video?
Yes, they might just not like me.
Guys don't really like me,
so I'm used to that.
But this is brutal.
-I didn't do anything.
-Why do guys not like you?
As soon as Round 1 began,
literally right away,
I got three or four dislikes.
That's when I realized
this thing was intense.
YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE
-What's this?
-What?
I got a dislike.
Someone's targeting you.
Oh my god.
Getting a lot of dislikes
would negate any likes I get
and eliminate me.
So I encouraged people
not to send me dislikes
if they can't send me likes.
Even if we don't send likes,
-let's at least not send dislikes.
-Sure.
Just no dislikes.
Please, no dislikes.
That's a good idea.
-We have a deal.
-Deal.
Let's not send any dislikes.
-No dislikes?
-Do we have a deal?
Of course.
I was so curious about you.
All right.
-How do you do it?
-You tag your phone to the collar.

Seriously.
You did great.
Where's Pure.D?
MEJIWOO SENT PURE.D A LIKE
Pure.D's video was extremely well done.
It made my video look pretty bad.
Hey, first place.
Hello.
-Let me see your video.
-I'll watch yours too.
-I want to see it too.
-Sure.
I'm sure it's worth watching.
SIAJIWOO
TIKTOK CREATOR
I can see why you have
27 million followers.
This is so well-made.
How much did this cost to film?
You basically made an ad.
Siajiwoo's video
almost felt like a sportswear ad.
She used a lot of different angles too.
I liked her video and liked her as well.
KIM DDOLDDOL SENT SIAJIWOO A LIKE
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Can I see yours?
-Sure.
She's Juice Seyeon!
Why did you click on me?
JUICE SEYEON, 10,000 STAR BALLOONS
You didn't know me, did you?
Just a moment.
-Goodness.
-This is embarrassing.
This isn't a blind date, okay?
-Get yourself together.
-Could I send you a like?
Sure.
You're so pretty.
Thank you.
She was so pretty.
I just had to send her a like.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Could I tag your collar one more time?
I want to watch your video again
when I'm alone.
-Thank you.
-All right.
-All done, thank you.
-Thank you.
Your worth
Oh my goodness.
Hold on.
PYO EUN-JI
MODEL
Wait a minute.
Watch her video right now.
Amazing.
Thank you.
I sent her a like
as soon as I saw her video.
I'll watch it just ten more times.
Hello.
I'm Jinjeolme.
-Could I see your video?
-It's really not that good.
-It's boring.
-Please watch mine too.
I don't have much experience
with this stuff.
JANG KEUN-SUK
ACTOR
Is this it?
That's it.
It takes a lot of confidence
to submit something like this.
-Could I see yours?
-Yes.
The world of short-form videos
is so unfamiliar to me.
As soon as he saw mine,
he said, "You've got some nerve" and left.
That gave me a reality check.
Hello.
Could I see yours?
Yes, but don't expect too much.
Hello, I'm Jin Yong-jin,
and I'm a YouTuber.
I'll be on The Influencer
to prove myself as an influencer.
I'm confident, and I'll try my best.
Let's go!
SHERRY SENT JIN YONG-JIN A DISLIKE
MIN CHAN-GI SENT JIN YONG-JIN A DISLIKE
I sent Yong-jin a dislike.
When I saw his video,

(EX) PRO GAMER
I thought it was too simple.
YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE
I'm getting so many dislikes.
Do you know how to open this?
Thank you.
I'm a big fan of yours.
-Do you like to drink?
-I do.
Me too. Let's have a drink together.
Have you sent a lot of likes or dislikes?
No, I haven't really used mine.
My video isn't really up to par,
so I'm standing by.
-Nice to meet you.
-Likewise.
Cheers.
My goodness.
I'm getting worn out already.
CHAHONG
HAIRSTYLIS
People generally like me,
so I initially thought
I'd get a decent amount of likes.
Then I saw everyone
sharing likes with each other.
I'm giving you one of my last likes.
YOU SENT A LIKE TO SHIM EU-DDEUM
YOU SENT A LIKE TO TARZAN
Let's exchange likes.
-You want to?
-Yes.
YOU SENT BBOGUMI A LIKE
YOU SENT JUNWOO A LIKE
YOU SENT LEE SEON-MIN A LIKE
YOU SENT HEHEONNI A LIKE
I sent you a like.
-I'll send you one first.
-Thanks.
YOU SENT PANIBOTTLE A LIKE
YOU SENT JANG JI-SOU A LIKE
Thankfully, I knew a lot of people.
I quickly exchanged likes
with the people I trust
and am close to.
Everyone's busy exchanging likes.
-Shall we exchange likes?
-Sure.
Let's do it.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
A lot of people
exchanged likes with each other.
If you think about it,
they've invested
their 15 votes in themselves.
The problem is the dislikes.
How would I have planned this
if I were the producer?
I kept thinking about
what I would have done.
-Come here.
-Okay.
Hear me out.
Are people really voting
based on how good the videos are?
No, they vote based on popularity.
Then hear me out.
We saw the ranking, right?
Those with the most subscribers
or the most famous
start off with an advantage,
so this is a political game.
It definitely is.
You're right.
Let's send the 60 million won home.
-Who?
-Why don't we send her home?
They said we'd share her worth.
So target one person?
We have to eliminate her.
But
what matters isn't sending likes
but sending dislikes.
We have to use them anyway.
We should make a team of about 15 people
and send targeted dislikes
while exchanging likes amongst ourselves.
Who do we target then?
The rich.
Then we might be a target too.
-But we're
-I don't think we should do that.
Our actions won't be justified.
If we target the rich,
they'll say we're rich too.
We can't have worth as our standard.
We can't.
Let's target
the short-form creators instead.
It's true that short-form creators
and TikTokers are a threat.
The mindset needed for a survival show
is to find the best way to survive
by any means possible.
To survive even one more round,
I thought it would be wise
to strike first.
Let's make it a war.
YouTubers versus TikTokers.
-Target one side?
-Yes.
It's not a bad idea.
We need to survive this round
to move on anyway.
Sending friends likes
could be a game changer.
We decided to give them
a valid reason to vote.
-You're a YouTuber, right?
-Yes.
I kind of have a strategy.
Since the TikTokers are ahead
-Target them?
-Let's focus our dislikes on them.
-I'm sure everyone will agree.
-Yes.
-Target whoever's not one of us?
-Yes.
-Okay.
-I think
-Target TikTok?
-It could be a good idea.
The thing is,
isn't a TikToker in first place?
-Wasn't the person worth 70 million
-Yes.
-How many below her were
-She's right there.
-How many below her were
-She's right there.
She's the richest here.
-Do you want to see mine?
-Sure.
-I want to see yours.
-My goodness.
She was right here.
Here.
-What were you talking about?
-You mean my plan?
When I heard about their plan
to target and eliminate me,
I realized I was in trouble.
YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE
YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE
I'm sure you're getting a lot of likes.
I'm actually getting dislikes.
I also got some.
Are you done?
Are you taking a break?
I feel so discouraged.
Why did I have to have so many followers?
I'm scared.
I guess people could target you.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
You must be scared.
I put so much effort into my video,
and it didn't deserve dislikes.
I just felt so upset
that people sent me dislikes
just because they wanted to win.
I think it could be a good idea
for the TikTokers to band together
and send targeted dislikes.
How?
-We need to survive first.
-You're right.
A group of TikTokers
sending 15 dislikes to 1 person
could be a good idea.
I do think
we'll need to be strategic to survive.
This is turning into a war of platforms.
So what I've been telling people is,
let's target the short-form creators.
I heard our leader is here.
-The leader of the YouTubers.
-Who said that?
Everyone told me to go to you.
-Are you serious?
-Well,
we were discussing the plan.
How am I the leader?
You're the YouTubers' leader.
-Please lead us.
-It's simple.
-I'll fight if I need to.
-Let's target
I'll take their phones.
Doing this brings up our video, right?
Ow, that stings.
Are you okay? Ow, what the
What's going on?
Did I zap you?
What was that?
-What's all this static?
-I'm an electric guy.
Okay, hear me out.
I'm a big fan of Needmorecash.
-Who?
-Needmorecash.
But unfortunately,
he has to go.
-What's he called?
-Needmorecash.
-Needmore
-Needmorecash.
-Our leader picked our target for us.
-I watch his videos all the time.
It's settled then.
-That's all I need.
-He only films short-form videos.
-You're right.
-Okay, I'll target him.
-Do I send a dislike?
-Do it.
-Okay.
-This is how we survive.
Who else do we target, sir?
Go and tag people's collars.
Then take note of the short-form creators.
Meeting over.
I knew it.
I knew I could count on him.
YOUNGALNAM SENT SIAJIWOO A DISLIKE
To keep surviving
Listen to our leader.
-Who said I was the leader?
-I'm going to follow his orders.
-I
-Everyone pointed to you.
Boss!
I could take people's phones away.
-You shouldn't do that.
-No?
-I shouldn't?
-Of course not.
All right, I'll do it if we're desperate.
-How about that?
-No.
No?
-Come here.
-Yes.
We really need to exchange likes now.
If we run out of likes later,
-Then we can't.
-then we can't send any.
-They might run out too.
-Exactly.
I got it.
Are you looking for a mate?
Could I be your mate?
What's going on?
The talent show will begin now.
All right.
Talent show?
If you want to show yourself off,
go up on the circular stage
and participate in the talent show.
Will you do it?
MAGENTA
STREAMER & YOUTUBER
I'm not confident enough.
Would people really send likes
based on what they see up there?
I think they would do the opposite.
Is anyone going up?
Could I use this mic?
-Of course.
-Thank you.
Is anyone here
ready to show off their talent?
Who's ready?
Whoever goes first has an advantage.
You need to get up here
before people run out of likes.
-If people run out of likes,
-You should go up.
-there would be no point.
-Me?
-I have a bad feeling about this.
-It's okay.
YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE
I got a dislike
just for talking into the mic.
-It's a bad idea to go up.

-to send her a dislike.

Did she used to be a dancer?
She's part of a Taekwondo team
called Taekwoncre.
-Give me a big hand!
-Applause!
-She does Taekwondo, doesn't she?
-She does.
-That's what I heard.
-She's awesome!
That was so good.
-She has 11 million followers?

She should go home and make videos.
You were great.
-Really?
-Good job.

What?
YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE
-What's wrong?
-I'm getting dislikes.

-What do I do?
I was stunned.
I performed every dance I knew
in order to survive
and sat back down,
thinking I did a great job.
Then I looked at my phone
and saw that I received seven dislikes.
I forgot to breathe for a second.
If I hadn't gone up on stage,
I wouldn't have gotten those dislikes.
I don't get it.
I'll follow your order right away.
-You don't know GATO, do you?

He's obviously a TikToker.

at the exact same time.
This must be from a group.
Let's stop here for now
and send the rest 20 minutes later.

but I'm scared to go up.
-You should go.
-No, I really don't want to.
If you're not confident,
it's better not to go.
Don't get any unnecessary dislikes.
The stage is so empty.
People are afraid to go up
and get dislikes.
People need to go up and perform.
But they'll get dislikes.
The producers would have expected that.
-Are things getting boring?
-Yes.
Dislikes are the key.
-Are they?
-Yes.
-Are you out of likes?
-Yes.
-But I have a lot of dislikes left.
-Right.
What do I do with my dislikes?
-I can't bring myself to send them.
-Me neither.
Dislikes are harder to send.
Exactly.
This is a dilemma.
Either you send a dislike
to someone you want to eliminate
or someone you really don't like.
You're right.
We have to do something.
YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE
I just heard a notification alarm.
-Someone sent something?
-I got another dislike.
I got a dislike too.
Maybe I need to shut up.
This is so tough.
CADDIEWANNY
GOLF YOUTUBER
-Hello.
-Hello.
What do I do? Hello.
-Are you out of likes?
-Me?
Yeah, I'm out.
How are you already out?
Could you give me a like?
Come on.
If you don't, I'll give you a dislike.
-I'll give you a dislike.
-That's so mean.
Just give me a like
-and I won't do it.
-That's so mean!
You should hurry.
Come on, Wanny.
-Don't do this to me.
-Think about it.
I'll see you again.
I should keep doing this.
-How many likes do you have left?
-I'm out.
-Give me one.
-What? I can't do that!
-If you don't, I'll send you a dislike.
-You can't do that!
What a scam.
-What is this?
-Come on, man.
-Hey.
-That's your strategy?
-I'll send you a dislike then.
-Wait.
I need to survive.
-Just give me a like then.
-Hold on a second.
-VVELY.
-Yes?
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Do you have any likes left?
-I do.
-Please send me one.
-Send me one too.
-Well, I ran out.
-Then I can't send you any.
I'll have to send you a dislike then.
-Is he threatening me?
-I'm sorry.
Listen to what he's saying.
You'll send her a dislike?
-I'm serious.
-Did you hear that?
I suggest you try not to get any dislikes.
Do you have any likes left?
-I do.
-I'm out of likes.
Can you send me one?
-If you don't,
-My precious like.
I'll send you a dislike.
You dirty
All right.
-Are you out of likes?
-No, I still have some.
-How many?
-About four.
Can you send me one?
-How many do you have?
-I already ran out.
I only exchange likes for likes.
Then I'll have to
send you a dislike. Sorry.
-Don't do that to Eu-ddeum.
-Saying you'll send me a dislike
if I don't send you a like
out of nowhere is not fair at all.
-Let's exchange then.
-Am I wrong?
Exchange what? You ran out.
I actually have one.
-Why are you playing with me?
-I'm just
-I don't like that.
-I'm just kidding.
I don't know
if it's because you're too young
or haven't experienced life enough,
but I think you've made a mistake.
What you said is basically a threat.
I think it's best I leave you then.
-Send her a like.
-It's all right.
Send me one too.
YOU SENT CADDIEWANNY A DISLIKE
The guy in the blue shirt
is telling people
he'll send them dislikes
if they don't send him likes.
I overheard him a while ago.
-He made a threat?
-Yes.
-That's too much.
-What's his name?
It's Caddiewanny.
SHERRY SENT CADDIEWANNY A DISLIKE
-I sent him a dislike.
-Who?
-To the weird guy from a while ago.
-That guy?
What's his name?
He tried to pressure people
-to send him a like.
-Help me find him.
I hate rude people like him.
IAMKATIECUTIE SENT CADDIEWANNY A DISLIKE
-Are you out of likes?
-I got a dislike.
I ran my mouth too much.
I keep getting dislikes. This is crazy.
Who is it?
Jeez, I got another dislike!
What do I do?
I kept thinking while going around
listening to what people were saying.
Most of us probably received
about 15 likes each.
What matters are the dislikes.
Targeting using dislikes
How will things be calculated?
Are the dislikes minus points?
-Yes.
-Is it?
No matter how good you are
at dancing or singing on stage,
it's not easy to get likes.
So there must be something more.
I realized that there must be more
to the 15 dislikes that we receive.
I'm going up.
Yong-jin's about to do something.
Everyone!
-Yes!
-Yes!
I'm not good at singing or dancing,
but I'm an expert
at sensing the mood of a crowd.
We know that well.
Aren't you all hesitant to send
your likes and dislikes right now?
-Yes!
-Yes!
After discussing with several people,
I learned that Jang Keun-suk
has been saying that
TikTokers and Instagram Reel creators
are overrated.
has been saying that
TikTokers and Instagram Reel creators
are overrated.
-Is that true?
-What?
SIAJIWOO
TIKTOK CREATOR
He's straight-up riling everyone up?
If you don't believe me,
then send me your dislikes.
But if you believe me,
then please send Jang Keun-suk dislikes.
Is he out of his mind?
I helped him pop a bottle,
and this is what he does?
I wondered why
he was attacking me all of a sudden.
But I don't care.
I never said what he claimed.
I guess he just wanted attention.
Thank you!
-What was that?
-What?
Why is Yong-jin after you out of nowhere?
-He's been chugging a bottle.
-Really?
I guess he's drunk.
This won't end well for Yong-jin.
-What a guy.
-What's his name?
Jin Yong-jin.
His phone's going to explode.
I have to use my dislike anyway.
You might as well send it to Yong-jin.
Did he do that on purpose?
YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE
YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE
If you think about it,
this show is about proving yourself
as an influencer.
Whether you get
likes or dislikes isn't important.
What matters most is receiving attention.
So getting dislikes
is part of receiving attention.
The thing is,
I've received
a lot of criticism and hate in my life.
I'm a master at being disliked.
To draw attention,
you need to go after the big names.
Attacking them
with some nonsense accusation
tends to have a big impact.
In a way, it was a gamble.
Gather up, TikTokers.
I'm pissed off right now.
We're overrated?
-Were you all shocked?
-My heart raced.
Same here.
I think he had something in mind.
I got a dislike.
It might be Yong-jin.
I got another one!
Goodness.
Yong-jin
Something was fishy.
I knew he had a reason for what he did.
I started getting a lot of dislikes
after his stunt.
Then I realized this round
might not be just about
getting a lot of likes.
I might as well
just get a lot of attention.
Have you sent any likes?
-I think so.
-Are you out?
Let me see.
-Do you have any likes?
-I ran out.
How about dislikes?
I have 15.
Send me a dislike.
-Why?
-I want to go home.
-Please, I'm serious.
-I can't just
-I won't blame you.
-I'll send you one later
if I can't decide.
Come on, just send it now.
It's not difficult.
-You really want to go home?
-Just one.
I can't imagine
staying on for more shoots.
I need to go.
YOU SENT JANG KEUN-SUK A DISLIKE
YOU RECEIVED A DISLIKE
-Yong-jin.
-Yes?
-You made a big bet.
-Exactly.
This thing is all about attention.
What matters is
how much attention you can draw.
If that's the case,
then it doesn't matter
whether we get likes or dislikes?
Yes, in my opinion.
Did you get some?
I got a couple of dislikes.
Going up was a bad idea.
-You're right.
-The thing is
-It's a bad idea.
-Right.
We're all divided right now.
Going up just makes you a target.
-That's not it.
-What is it then?
The way I see it, there's no difference
between likes and dislikes.
It's the total number that counts.
Yeah, the total number of likes.
-No.
-What?
I mean the total of likes and dislikes.
People might resent you later
if you turn out to be wrong.
-That's fine.
-Are you saying
-this number matters?
-No, just
I mean, it's all about attention.
PaniBottle.
It's strange how
Keun-suk's asking for dislikes.
So what I'm thinking is
that they might calculate the total number
of likes or dislikes you get.
-No way!
-Hear me out.
There were no conditions
to the likes or dislikes.
They didn't mention
any penalties for getting dislikes.
They didn't.
So just get a lot of everything.
Get attention.
Prove that you can get attention.
-That's it.
-Those who don't get any attention
-will get eliminated.
-That's right.
Any publicity is good publicity.
You're right!
So we need to get dislikes right now.
They anticipated our strategy.
We shouldn't have sent dislikes
to people we wanted to eliminate.
That's it.
-Shit!
-Exactly.
It might not be true.
We don't know yet.
-It's still unclear.
-It's a gamble.
That's just what we think.
That sounds right.
I thought the point of this game
was to not get any dislikes.
But since I already got a dislike,
I decided to just gamble.
-Do you have any dislikes left?
-Yes.
-Send me one.
-Why?
-I promise I won't send you one.
-Okay.
-Please send me a dislike.
-All right.
Do you have any dislikes left?
Could you send one?
To who?
-To me. I just need one.
-Are you serious?
If my gamble fails,
then I deserve to go home
for failing at this game.
If not, then it was right to gamble.
It might be good to get dislikes as well
since influencers
live off of any attention.
That's a hit or miss.
-Could you send me dislikes?
-Why?
They didn't mention
any penalties for getting dislikes.
So you're going to gamble?
I have crucial information.
We can survive this round
-even with a lot of dislikes.
-Really?
That doesn't sound right.
Having people with a lot of dislikes
move on to the next round
would be unacceptable,
so that's what I told everyone.
-I think just waiting
-Just waiting.
-is the best strategy.
-You're right.
This round is supposed to determine
who has the most influence.
I'm going to hunt for dislikes.
-Are you sure?
-Yes.
A real influencer
should seek positive attention.
I don't care for those who are popular
because they're disliked.
Why is it good to get dislikes?
-It doesn't sound right, does it?
-Definitely not.
It seemed like
I would be getting eliminated anyway,
so I decided to gamble.
-Should we exchange dislikes?
-What's going on with the dislikes?
Things are getting strange.
-I want to gamble.
-Me too.
I'm not sure what to do.
I feel so anxious right now.
What should I do?
You have ten minutes left to vote.
