At the production presentation of MBC's new program 'Reasonable Architecture-Space Traveler ' held at the Golden Mouse Hall of MBC's headquarters in Mapo, Sangam-gu, Seoul on the 21st, Jeon Hyun-moo said "Regular programming is more welcome than entertainment awards."
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.
Producer Cho Hyung-joon is a program that began with personal jealousy. I've been subscribing to Sherlock Holmes, but Professor Yoo is so good at expressing his unknowns. I wanted to melt my personal jealousy of feeling rich while in the same space as me into the program and convey it to the viewers well. I wanted to solve economic and humanities through the prism of architecture," he explained why he planned the program.
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.
Professor Yoo said "It is the first time that the word architecture has been included in a Korean entertainment program. I think I've matured enough to be interested in architecture. You may not know because architecture is routine, but I want you to know how much architecture affects thoughts and society. It would be nice to discover your personal preferences while watching. Depending on the angle of the viewer, the spectrum comes out differently."
Then "YouTube feels like a one-man band, a monologue, that I do alone. Now, he is showing good chemistry with the cast members. It's like a four-member band."
Jeon Hyun-moo said, `I'm more glad to have regular programming than entertainment awards. I am happy that the program is not easy to survive. I did the pilot and didn't tell the production team, but I think it will be a regular program. I don't know what everyone's doing because there are a lot of programs these days, but I've heard quite a bit that "Architecture for a Reason" is fun. I thought it was a competitive program. Barcelona has been selected as the world's architectural capital next year. There is also an ambition that if there is a new season of architecture for a reason, it can be done there," he said, looking far away.
MBC's new liberal arts program 「Architecture for a Reason」 will premiere at 9 p.m. on the 22nd.
