SBS New Music Audition 'Our Ballad', which will premiere on September 23 (Tue), is a music audition program that will share life ballads that we have been together at every moment in our memories and find a new voice in 2025 that will sing the ballad that was my song back then. The emotional stage of the participants, who are 18.2 years old on average, unfolds, and 150 top white gurus demonstrate their collective intelligence to discover hidden gemstones.
In particular, Jung Jae-hyung, Cha Tae-hyun, Choo Sung-hoon, Jeon Hyun-moo, Park Kyung-rim, Danny Koo, Crush, Jung Seung-hwan, and Oh My Girl Mimi are drawing attention as representatives of Top Baekgui. In response, the Top Baekgui delegation, Jeong Jae-hyung, Cha Tae-hyun, and Crush each delivered various episodes from the criteria for judging the gemstones.
First, Jung Jae-hyung said "I'm working on whether the story the participants are singing sympathizes with me the most." Cha Tae-hyun seems to prefer a friend who is attractive, although skill is important. Based on my experience working here for 30 years, I'm thinking of picking a charming friend."
Crush "I see sincerity and sincerity first in my voice and attitude. Time solves skills and skills, but I don't think the power to tell one's story through music is created in a short period of time. When you listen to someone's song, there are moments when the person's life and emotions are conveyed intact. In my standard, the sound that awakens all my senses is the light of ' gemstones'.
I'm curious about the difference between 'Our Ballad' and 'Our Ballad' as well. While Jeong Jae-hyung cited "There are various opinions and appreciations that are not uniform", Cha Tae-hyun said "150 top back-and-forth participate together from the beginning, and nine representatives eventually exercise the same vote." The biggest difference is that it is made through public evaluation."
On the other hand, Crush focused on how the lives and stories of those on stage resonate through songs, saying that "other music programs often have evaluation and competition at the center, but this program was different." He talked about the differences he felt while recording that the process is more important than the result and the emotion is more important than the score.
SBS's new music audition 'Our Ballad' is being joined by CP Park Sung-hoon of 'K-pop Star', PD Jung Ik-seung, writer Mo Mo-seol of the 2024 global Netflix hit 'Black and White Cook', and producer Ahn Jung-hyun, who led 'My Ugly Baby'. Audition master SBS will premiere at 9 p.m. on September 23 (Tuesday) as a large audition program with SM Entertainment, a Korean cultural content company, and SM C&C, which has set K-pop standards in the world and led popular music.

1. Jung Jae-hyung is a producer and musician who has created many masterpieces loved by the public. What do you think are the prerequisites for ballads loved by men and women of all ages?
Jeong Jae-hyung: I think it's the right tone for ballads, the emotion that brings both the singer and the listener to the song, and the singer's taste.
2. The average age of the participants is 18.2 years. As a father of three children, Cha Tae-hyun seems to have a different view of the participants. How was it?
Cha Tae-hyun: I think they are friends of children, maybe because they are actually similar in age to our children. So, there were times when I was embarrassed to watch it with my father's heart, and even because I kept nagging him.
3. Crush was most often mentioned as a role model or a favorite musician in participants' applications. Were there any participants who made Mr. Crush nervous?
Crush: There is a contestant who sang Kim Yuna's song. From the first verse, I drew the audience at once, and at that moment, I could feel that the friend's inner workings were deep. It gave me a sense of immersion as if only me and my friend were in the space, not the concert hall. The echo was very loud and it was a memorable stage for a long time.
4. What do you think is the charm of K-ballad that both men and women of all ages enjoy?
Jung Jae-hyung: I think K-ballad's charm is that he can record a story with his own secret hidden in a song and share empathy and comfort with each other only when it is released to the public.
5. Ballad OST flowed in every famous scene of the drama and movie that Koreans loved, and Cha Tae-hyun was with him in the music and scene. If you were to express 'our ballad' as a drama or movie genre from an actor's point of view, what would it be?
Cha Tae-hyun: I think it's a romantic comedy. Being touching, funny, and sometimes excited seems to have a lot of similarities to romantic comedy. There are times when the Top Baekgui delegation's breathing is funny, so it's like a comedy, and it's fun and touching because they shed tears after listening to songs with stories from participants.
