Jeon Hyun-moo said, "The old buildings in "K-Pop Demon Hunters" are a trend at the production presentation for MBC's new program ""The Reasoned Architecture-Space Traveler" held at the Golden Mouse Hall of MBC's headquarters in Mapo, Seoul on the 21st."'Tminnam' is a concept for making a living, and in fact, the old one is good."
Architecture for a Reason is a new concept architectural talk show that tells stories that cross various fields such as history, culture, economy, art, and science through architecture. By newly interpreting the city and space through architecture, it will provide viewers with useful knowledge and the beauty of a different architectural trip that cannot be experienced anywhere.
A four-part pilot broadcast in August last year opened up a new perspective on architecture", "I didn't know architecture would be such an interesting content." drew favorable reviews.
Following the pilot, MC Jeon Hyun-moo, Hong Jin-kyung, Park Sun-young, and Yoo Hyun-joon join forces to create a synergy of fantasy. In addition to architect Yoo Hyun-jun's insightful interpretation of capturing stories in space, the different perspectives of Hong Jin-kyung, who is reborn as a 「Tminnam (trend-sensitive man)" Jeon Hyun-moo,"Architecture Genius" and Park Sun-young, who instills emotions into space, are combined to tell a more three-dimensional architectural story.
The upgraded and returned 'Reasonable Architecture' will strengthen the 'Architecture Travel' concept to deliver more realistic space exploration and in-depth architectural stories. It is expected to expand the stage not only in Korea but also abroad to deliver more colorful architectural stories to viewers.
Jeon Hyun-moo says "I work as Mu Hyun-jun. I think it'll be more fun than the existing pilot because I feel it and talk about it while making videos"It was my first time in charge of an architectural program, and I wondered if there was such an interesting architectural program. I was honored to take the opportunity. Other companies are running a travel program, and it's almost a fixed comment about how they made this building. Most of the comments are admired, but what I felt while doing this broadcast was that there were many wonderful buildings in Korea. Among the buildings that passed by, there were many buildings that had stories and would be introduced aesthetically as well. .
He then pointed to the buildings that are trending these days like `Tminnam.' Jeon Hyun-moo realized that if you look at "'K-Pop Demon Hunters', there are buildings that live in Gogil-dong, and this is a trend. Apart from the era of envy of high-rise buildings in Dubai, I realized that the old Korean architecture became a trend. I'm trying to live off what's called 'Tminnam', and I actually like the old one. I'm very interested in old houses and buildings, and this became a trend."
Each person's role was compared to a building. Hong Jin-kyung "In terms of space, I think I took on the margin. It's fun to suck it in and learn like a sponge. Professor Yoo said "It's fun to meet the professor", and Professor Yoo said "Isn't it just a stepping stone toward Daecheongmaru?" and Park Sun-young said "I want to say that it's the scent of materials in space." I don't see it, but I think it plays a comfortable role."
Each also mentioned a romance for the building. Hong Jin-kyung said "I thought it was important for the people I meet often, the space I always take care of. There had to be a theory that people, spaces, or people should inspire me. He said, "I usually have that kind of idea of space, and I feel this part even more while doing such a program dealing with architecture."
Jeon Hyun-moo said, "There was an article that I wanted to make a space for an announcer, and I had that feeling. I want to make a space for young cultural artists, but don't you busk in Hongdae. It's an amphitheater not outdoors or indoors, and I want to create a space where young singers can busk and for announcers or aspiring students like me to give speeches. "
MBC's new liberal arts program 「Architecture for a Reason」 will premiere at 9 p.m. on the 22nd.
