[Instiz] The truth about idol reality shows?

"A reality show is vital for an idol's debut?

Companies shoulder at minimum around $10,000 to up to $100,000 in production cost or through an investor's support in order to have their own artists make an appearance.  An industry insider revealed, 'There's little chance of getting cast spontaneously.  That's why there's many instances where the company themselves pay the production cost and appearance fees.  It might vary according to different types of contracts but if an event happens during the program's filming, the company will also take on the expenses for that so it's a very big burden.'

Companies can use their influence on broadcasting companies through varieties or dramas but many companies pay for the production costs for cable reality shows."

[2] "Woah, then the house they used for Jessica and Krystal in their reality show and TaeTiSeo?  SM's amazing."

[3] "I think this mostly applies to rookie groups or groups that have yet to establish their place.  For example, Jessica and Krystal's house, I believe, was paid for by the reality production team themselves.  There's an article about the preparations that went into choosing and designing that house."

[5] "That seems about right.  It's those reality shows that gain the public's interest and turns some people into fans for them."

[10] "YG should use the money Big Bang made to give us a reality show"

[11] "I've given you enough money haven't I YG.... so please give us a reality show"

[12] "But I don't think this is the case when the group is very popular."

[13] "No wonder they sometimes show it through Naver Star Cast..."

[14] "Yeah, isn't that why the company's logo is usually shown in the production credits of the show?"

[15] "Is that why our kids don't have any......."
