Diggin’ Down Deep

This variety program uses puppetry to discuss personal issues that are often too sensitive to talk about. The MCs and real-life guests are disguised as puppets – the MCs as moles and the guests as pigs. The first episode hosts two guests: Miki, a Professional Girlfriend, and Hiroshi, a former CEO. Professional Girlfriends are women who only date famous actors and athletes, and are known for their expert seduction skills. On the show, Miki reveals her surprising techniques to seduce men. The second guest, Hiroshi, is a former CEO whose IT business collapsed. Before his bankruptcy, his annual turnaround used to be $3 million. Now he is living a measly life. He joins the show to share in detail the hardships of going from the top to rock bottom. Today an overwhelming number of people feel more comfortable revealing the truth when their identity is anonymous. Television commonly uses blurs, mosaics, and masks to censor images. This program takes a new approach and uses puppetry to obtain the same effect, and consequently creates a lively and dramatic show. By applying the anonymity method that is widely accepted in online communities, this program aims to draw the attention of cyber addicts towards television.
