Producer Ahn Ji-min met with Sports Chosun at the ENA headquarters in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 25th and said, `Lee Eun-ji is the friend I personally picked for the comedy big league, and she has grown too much over the past 10 years.'
The co-produced entertainment show `Choo Sung-hoon should pay for his meal' by ENA and EBS is a real survival travel story in which Choo Sung-hoon directly experiences extreme jobs and solves a meal with the money he has earned. Producer Song Joon-seop of EBS and producer Angel Min of ENA directed it.
Producer Ahn revealed his special relationship with Lee Eun-ji, one of the panelists of 「Choo Sung-hoon should pay for his meal」. "Producer Song mainly hosted the casting," he said. "What I was most interested in is Lee Eun-ji." Eun Ji is the friend I picked when I directed 'Comedy Big League'. I've seen him work as a comedian, didn't it go well with the Earth Recreation Room. I've always seen him make jokes on stage, but I was curious about how good he was in outdoor entertainment and had high expectations. But for two to three years, I wonder if he's been trained well, and he's grown up well as a great celebrity. In the past, I would have talked comfortably in front of the camera, but when the camera turned off, I saw that I was worried about the amount of footage, so I thought, "I just need to grow more."
Producer Song Joon-seop responded, "'Eun-ji appeared as a dance instructor on last week's broadcast. The staff all went to eat in the evening, but they came and told me to film it because they were practicing (laughs). The writer filmed the scene with his cell phone. As expected, people have to do what they like so that the viewers are happy. When I saw Eun Ji's passionate self, I thought the program would go well"I thanked him. Producer Ahn also "It's the first time I've seen Eun-ji smile so brightly. I feel like I've seen Eun Ji's real face for the first time in a long time."
Producer Ahn also said of Choo Sung-hoon, who is gaining huge popularity with his song "Ajo C" that "I subscribed and liked Chu Sung-hoon's YouTube channel" and was impressed by his honest appearance as much as possible. From our perspective, Choo Sung-hoon is a young and sophisticated image, but he is a half-century old man, and he showed his weight as an adult on the set."
Meanwhile, ENA, EBS "Choo Sung-hoon should pay for his meal" airs every Saturday at 7:50 p.m.
