The Influencer is a Netflix reality show featuring 77 of the most well-known influencers in Korea. Together, they have a 400 billion KRW net marketing value and face off to establish their worth through various tasks and games. Lee Jae-seok and Son Jeong, the minds behind My Little Television, co-direct The Influencer, the first reality program focused on influencers.
The show will release the last three episodes, including the finale, on August 13. The Influencer, which premiered on August 6, has released a total of four episodes so far. On August 13, fans will find out who takes the trophy of the Best Influencer home.
What will the last three episodes of The Influencer bring?
The fourth episode of The Influencer ended, leaving viewers on a cliffhanger, as the results of Round 3 are expected to be revealed in the upcoming episodes. The Influencer has kept its contestants and viewers guessing with distinct rules and never-thought-of ways of calculating the scores.
Moreover, the winner will also be revealed in the next three episodes, which have yet to be released. Currently, Oking is leading since he won the second round.
As the rounds get more intense and score tracking more detailed, the next three episodes are most likely to have a few more rounds broadcasted, with the contestants coming up with new and absurd ways of staying in the show.
With the number of contestants reducing with every round, fans can expect to see some severe competition among them. As the first round made clear, they would not hesitate to eliminate someone they deem to be a greater competition. The last episode will determine who wins the out-of-ordinary competition of fame.
What happened in the episodes so far?
While staying relevant and seeking attention is at the core of progress, anything that gets the participants attention, whether good or bad, gets them ahead in the game. In Round 1 itself, this was made clear as likes and dislikes were counted together, and the ones who received the least of the two combined were eliminated.
While some participants were clever enough to figure this out and gamble on it, the ones who avoided getting any dislikes but had only a few likes had to say goodbye to the show.
Round 2 involved a live-streaming competition. To win, the contestants had to get the most viewer counts. For an hour, they tried multiple ways to keep the attention on them, from calling their friends to confessing to their crushes.
However, in Round 3, an eye-tracking system was used to see which picture captured the most attention, surprising the contestants. They were paired up and had to click pictures in the sets provided to them and make a feed on which they would be judged.
The next three episodes of The Influencer will be released on August 13 on Netflix.
