With the rapid development of communication tools, social media has become indispensable to our daily lives. As every one became able to create and transmit information, the liberalization and diversification of information surrounding us is proceeding. It seemed this new media liberated us from the financial-driven and centralized structure of mass media. However, the relationship between power/money and media yet remains, through such means as the strengthening of Internet censorship by the government or the abrupt growth of influencer marketing. Taking this situation, the show, "If You Ask Me", is created under the themes of "empty" and "fake". Through these works, I hope all viewers will question the reliability of the information surrounding us and re-think about the relationship between power structures and the masses.
