In fact, as far as Kim Jong-sung knows, in 2006, the Korean paparazzi industry has not yet formed a scale. In the eyes of many Koreans, the word "paparazzi" seems to appear only in the European and American entertainment circles such as Hollywood and Hong Kong entertainment circles.

In Europe and the United States, the word "Paparazzi" first appeared, it was a hypothetical word. This word originated from Italy and was originally a plural word for Paparazzo, which means a photographer who specializes in chasing celebrities. But later because of the huge group, its plural word gradually became a common word used by the public. In the Italian films in 1960, this word was mainly used to criticize the current situation of "media that is only concerned about the attention of the public", and now it has become a "paparazzi"!

In his previous life, the "paparazzi" industry really took root in South Korea and had its own market. It was in 2008, and the one who played a pioneering role in this industry at that time was "Seoul Sports Network".

According to a reporter named Kim who worked for Seoul Sports Network in 2008, the company accidentally received a clue that a well-known male star was in love with a well-known actress. The outbreak of this news would definitely cause an uproar. At that time, the supervisor of Seoul Sports Network suddenly got enlightenment from European and American news, so he sent a team to instruct them to go to the agency and residence of the pair of stars to ambush and shoot, and they took "real evidence". Many people believed that "seeing it is true", and the results showed that this method was ultimately successful, and "paparazzi" became a major sign of Seoul Sports Network later.

From the beginning of the introduction of "paparazzi" to the fact that this industry has taken root in South Korea, both the media, brokerage companies and the public have gone through a period of twists and turns before they slowly accept it.

At the beginning, a reporter from "Seoul Sports Network" raided a couple of artists in love. The reporter quickly pressed the camera shutter and was discovered by the other party's agent that a conflict between the two parties inevitably occurred. However, neither the party being filmed nor the party being filmed knew the other party's bottom line. Both parties were unfamiliar with this kind of thing. The conflict between the two parties became very big, and they entered the police station together, and then they stopped consciously because no one knew whether this was correct. The media and agency at that time did not want to lose both sides.

That was just one of the conflicts. At the beginning, there were many conflicts between Korean paparazzi and agency companies and celebrity artists. Through these conflicts, Korean paparazzi slowly understood the key points. They began to understand how to keep a safe distance from celebrities, began to know how to protect themselves, and began to know how to take more attractive photos from more imaginative angles.

"Seoul Sports" includes "Seoul Sports Network" and "Seoul Sports Daily", but the paparazzi of "Seoul Sports" mainly uses "Seoul Sports Network" as the medium. In other words, the paparazzi of "Seoul Sports" are mainly reporters of "Seoul Sports Network".

The Internet is the best platform for Korean paparazzi. They are not like paparazzi in European and American countries, mainly freelancers, but in the name of the Internet, under the sign of protecting the "public's right to know", secretly filming celebrity artists and sending them to the website in the name of the media, becoming real news.

The first "Seoul Sports Network" was like this, and the later D-Seoul Sports Network (Dispatch celebrity media reporting website) was like this. Moreover, "Seoul Sports Network" and D-Seoul Sports Network" are both formal media that hold media registration numbers approved by the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Through the Internet, the photos taken by these Korean paparazzi are just like live fish caught from the sea, and they still keep fresh and lively to meet the public. Moreover, these Korean paparazzi are hypocritical. Every time they make a news release, they often write a sentence at the end of the news, "I wish this couple can continue to fall in love."

Obviously, this sentence is just an unnecessary sentence, both in the eyes of the public, in the eyes of paparazzi, or in other media that reprint this news and want to get a share of the revelation. For the sake of their own interests, the media reached a tacit understanding between the two in order to pay attention to gossip or care about their idols.

South Korea's online news environment provides a hotbed for this paparazzi phenomenon, because the monopoly of portal websites in South Korea's online news market is relatively serious. The three major portal websites (NAVER, DAUM, NATE) account for nearly 80% of South Korea's online news consumption. This high concentration of news information provides a space for dissemination of such "attractive" paparazzi leaks. As long as the portal website is willing to give these leaked news that introduce traffic, it will soon spread through the Internet, thus forming a terrible momentum.

In addition, there is another strange phenomenon in the Korean paparazzi industry. Unlike imagined, the paparazzi who went on the front line to follow and take pictures in the past were mostly women. For example, the paparazzi in D club were mostly women. According to D club itself, "because this is easier to interview and intervene in the crowd."

Later in his previous life, the most famous paparazzi media in South Korea were "THEFACT". "THEFACT" was the "Seoul Sports Network" that first introduced the paparazzi industry in South Korea. "D Society is considered a rising star, and most of its personnel came from "Seoul Sports Network".

So, what do the Korean entertainment industry think of the D Society and the paparazzi media such as "THEFACT"?

There is a view that can represent the views of the vast majority of Korean entertainment industry people on these paparazzi media, that is, they do not deny their existence, but their existence itself is a troublesome.

Jin Jingcheng searched and looked at photos of the company's internal "THEFACT" online in his previous life. The walls inside the company were covered with photos of each celebrity couple taken by the company's paparazzi.

Many people actually found a problem, that is: the photos revealed by these paparazzi media are often recognized by celebrity agency. This is a bit strange, why?

According to internal disclosures of these paparazzi media, they have their own operating methods: they will divide them into two ways according to the importance of celebrities. One is that the brokerage company waits until the media reveals that their celebrities have been exposed, but this is generally the method they will use in the early stage. Later, in many cases, they prefer to contact the brokerage company a few days or hours before the news is exposed to inform the news that the news will be released. Moreover, these media prefer to contact the woman's brokerage company more than the man. So, since they insist on reporting this news, why do they still report these brokerage companies?
