Teen Top Members To Play Themselves In Tell-All Dark Comedy 'Entertain Us'

Reality becomes fiction in an unpcoming show from Mnet.

Entertain Us will star idol group Teen Top acting as itself in a version of the world where it is produced by Yoon Jong Shin, who is an overly ambitious producer. The television show will feature other Mystic89 artists, however, everything in the show will be fake.

While the plot of the show will be fictitious, it will be based on the dark side of the Korean entertainment industry. Teen Top's characters will only acting partially, as the show will show true occurrences that have taken place within the K-Pop industry.

The show's producer Park Jun Soo insisted that some of the big agencies might even be surprised, since he'll be showing situations that are based on fact.

This isn't the first drama to discuss the entertainment industry in South Korea, but it is the first one that aims to portray fiction as close to reality as possible. Even though it will be a dark-comedy show, Entertain Us is almost a blend of a variety show and reality show since it will only partially be scripted.

Teen Top will be playing a group that is managed by a greedy producer played by Yoon Jong Shin, who abuses the members physically in order to make them behave in a way that will bring in the most profit.

At the press conference, Teen Top's Niel compared Yoon Jong Shin's character to the group's own producer, Shinhwa's Andy. He explained that, while Andy is strict and gives advice, Yoon Jong Shin's character is selfish and meant to depict the very worst sort of producer.

Lim Kim (Kim Ye Rim,) solo singer and member of the duet Togeworl, will also appear in the drama. It is likely that she will depict an even darker side of the industry, related to sex abuse.

While the content of the drama will be dark, it is unlikely that the comedy will be extremely graphic. However, the drama will also be airing at midnight, when it is almost fair-game for television, so Entertain Us  may surprise the audience.

The show will begin airing on July 31.
