As for the secret of 'Early Jobster's coming to Season 6, PD Choi said "I think there wasn't that much demand." Many students seem to have a thirst for information about professional high schools"And the chemistry of the four MCs also played a big role in the fact that our program was able to live a long life."

In particular, following last season, Jang Sung-kyu, Hwang Kwang-hee, Dayoung, and Jonathan will join as MCs to create stronger synergy. Jang Sung-gyu said, "My affection for the program is growing day by day. At first, he visited me, so if he was with me with gratitude, now as the season goes on, I look back on my school days and reflect on myself. I only wanted to get into a prestigious university because I was only good at studying. The purpose of retaking the examination and taking the examination was not 'I must go to this department and get a job', but 'I must study hard and go to a prestigious university'. I have a 12-year-old and 6-year-old son, and I want to tell him what I learned from broadcasting"The low birth rate problem is serious, but I wanted our program to continue for a long time in the future."

Kwang-hee said "I liked that I could be a regular MC in the beginning. It's been a while since I graduated from high school. When I met with vocational high school students while filming, I said, "'Oh, if I had a program like this in my school days, wouldn't I be able to go to a school where I could make better use of my major?'




At the same time, about his role as an MC "Even from people's point of view, I don't think I'll be good at studying, but I think I'm comfortable." Rather, if I were smart, I wouldn't have been invited as an MC. "Since I have a lot of questions while running the program, I tend to ask questions on behalf of the viewers right away. Since it's a vocational high school, each school has different areas to learn, so there are many words that we didn't know about."

D-young also said, `At first, I had a light heart, but as I met with students, I felt with my eyes and skin how attached and passionate I was about my dream.'"And after the program aired, I received a fan-rater, and a friend said, "I had a lot of worries about my career, but I found out that there are various jobs in the world thanks to my sister." After receiving the letters from the fans, I felt a sense of mission beyond affection for the program. I want to be of great help to many students this season as well," he expressed his ambition.

This season, we will visit vocational high schools in every corner of the country to discover hidden talents in each region and present richer and more colorful stories. More powerful and diverse 'Early Job Place' will appear, including the youngest police officer in his teens who is training to become a police officer, the CEO of an interior company in his 20s with monthly sales of more than 10 million won, and a young businessman in his 20s who risked his life in beekeeping. It also sheds light on the day of graduates who have joined large companies through a competition rate of 50 to 1 and are living 'new' and delivers a variety of stories that both teenagers and parents can sympathize with.




Regarding the criteria for casting, Choi says, `Even if you don't necessarily meet the standard of success, you try to shine a light on a friend who walks his own path. When selecting graduates, I tried to find friends with clear goals"I think it would be very helpful if even one viewer could be sure of their dreams after watching our program," he said.

Earlier, Jang Sung-gyu said at the production presentation last season that he would donate his entire fortune if the viewer rating exceeded 25%"It drew attention by making a pledge. In response, Jang Sung-kyu said, `I said this based on that standard because the popular drama at the time had a 25% viewership, but I will make a 10% viewer rating pledge this time. Last time, I bet all of my money, so this time, I'm going to bet all three of my money"I shuddered. Dayoung, who was listening to this, said "If the ratings exceed 10%, I will serve coffee tea to all students at every school I visit from the next episode." Jonathan says, `Every December is the high school festival season, and if students want to, we want to participate in the event," he said.

Meanwhile, 'Early Jobster 6' will premiere on KBS1 at 7:40 p.m. on the 9th.
