EBS's Song Joon-seop and ENA's Anjamin caught all the laughter and meaning with 'Choo Sung-hoon's food should be paid for'.

The co-produced entertainment show 「"Choo Sung-hoon's food price" is a real survival travel story in which Choo Sung-hoon directly experiences extreme jobs and solves a meal with the money earned by sweating, directed by producer Song Joon-seop and producer Anjamin.

After Kwak Jun-bin and Kwak Jun-bin's World Knight's Restaurant', producer Song collaborated for the second time with 'Choo Sung-hoon should pay for his meal'. Producer Song, who recently met with Sports Chosun, said, `Kwak Jun-bin is like a fixed slot to me. I'm still looking for a persona (laughs). I'm the only celebrity who can contact me personally comfortably. When I first made the program, I didn't think about it except for Yubin (laughs). But after casting them all, they didn't do the most important thing. The head of the agency was also dumbfounded because he didn't tell his agency.

In particular, Kwak Joon-bin recently drew attention by announcing his romantic relationship on MBN and Channel S 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2'. Producer Song said "Junbin revealed his romantic relationship on another broadcast, and it will be on our broadcast soon." There is a scene where Choo Sung-hoon is receiving love counseling. Choo Sung-hoon will also consult his concerns as a senior in his life.

Producer Ahn then said "Kwak Jun-bin seems to have become a professional broadcaster, not a YouTuber. For example, 'Ah! He also said exclamations like 'Oh no~' right in front of the camera. If I couldn't check the camera's movement, I could have done it in a place that wasn't captured by the camera, but watching it, I no longer saw it as a YouTuber."

Producer Song said of Choo Sung-hoon, who recently entered his prime as an entertainer, "'When you think of Choo Sung-hoon, don't you think of a character that comes to mind?' As I said at the press conference earlier, you are very shy. At the beginning of the shoot, he told producer Ahn and I that it would be nice to have a cast of similar age. But the more we filmed, the more people were looking for Jun Young and Eun Ji. I think you have become more curious about Mr. Yeobun because you went to Egypt a few weeks ago. Je-Ren was also amazed. Perhaps Chu Sung-hoon had questions about Mr. Je-bin as a YouTuber.




Then, regarding the chemistry between Choo Sung-hoon, Lee Eun-ji, and Kwak Jun-bin, "Each seems to have their own strengths. Kwak Jun-bin is a travel creator, and Eun-ji is very delicate between Choo Sung-hoon and Kwak Jun-bin. Chu Sung-hoon looks at the big picture for the fun of the overall program. He directs like the director on how to make it funny."

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 'Pyong-Pyong-Pyong-Pyong-Earth Entertainment 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 said "Eun-ji appeared as a dance instructor on last week's show. 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.




Finally, the two producers responded to the program's point of view, saying, `Another protagonist of our program is 'Job'. It will contain stories of various occupational groups in extreme environments. The other is the human side of the three. If it were China, Kwak Jun-bin would not have told Chu Sung-hoon about his girlfriend. When we leave far away by train, we huddle together and talk about love, and although we can't see this as a bromance chemistry because of Eun Ji, we felt a unique chemistry between the three. If these parts are about 70 points for completion now, Egypt expects that they will get 90 or 100 points" he said.

Meanwhile, ENA, EBS "Choo Sung-hoon should pay for his meal" airs every Saturday at 7:50 p.m.
