On the morning of the 29th, a production presentation for the new T-Cast E-Channel variety show `From One to Ten' was held at CineCube in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Jang Sung-kyu, Kang Ji-young, and studio Livit PD Lee Joon-seok attended the meeting to talk about the program.
'From one to ten' is an entertainment program that solves miscellaneous knowledge in various fields such as history, culture, science, and travel, focusing on food and food. The key point is to introduce 10 pieces of knowledge every week 'It's delicious to know and it's tempting to hear it' and enjoy the two MCs' tiki-taka and perspectives together beyond simple information delivery.
In particular, Jang Sung-kyu and Kang Ji-young's reunion is drawing attention. The two first made their faces known to the public by appearing together on MBC 'Our One Night - Newcomers', which aired in 2011. Since then, he joined JTBC as an announcer side by side and lived in the same class, but while working as a broadcaster, he rarely had a chance to be together. This program will work together in earnest for the first time in 14 years.
On this day, Jang Sung-gyu thought that there are times. I thought we would do something together soon after appearing on `New Employee' but I didn't know it would take 14 years. Then "I gained various experiences by walking on different paths. I think this is the best time. It's time to exchange heavy and heavy stories.", he said, evaluating the reunion in a meaningful way.
He also expressed his affection for his relationship with Kang Ji-young, saying "Like the title, after my wife and mother, 'knowing me from one to ten'knowing friend." In response, Kang Ji-young burst into laughter and said, `That seems to be Jang Sung-kyu's one-sided idea. If I were to grade my chemistry, I'd like to give you a B-. I think there is room to fill it up in the future, he said, drawing laughter.
Regarding the background of the project, PD Lee Joon-seok said, `There is a high interest in liberal arts and humanities these days. However, it is important which speaker solves it from what perspective, and I thought it could be conveyed more interestingly through Jang Sung-gyu and Kang Ji-young's unique perspectives", he explained. He also stressed that "The difference is not simply listing information, but showing the process of two people making and discussing rankings from 1st to 10th."
Jang Sung-gyu also acknowledges Kang Ji-young's intellectual side. "I like to be in the spotlight and always want to be in the center, but during this recording, I felt that "I can't be the main one here"," he said. "Kang Ji-young is very knowledgeable and good at talking in depth." I think Jiyoung fits the main part of this program better"I told him honestly.
Regarding his feelings with Jang Sung-kyu after a long time, Kang Ji-young said, `Even during the JTBC period, I rarely had the opportunity to work with him. Jang Sung-gyu said, "I had a different path as an entertainment program and a liberal arts program. It's fascinating to see each other again this time, but I'm looking forward to it. "I felt comfortable because we knew each other very well. I think I'll be able to lean on and rely on it and breathe more fun in the future."
Jang also added his desire for the program. He said "I heard that if the ratings are good, it will be regular. "I'm a person who really wants to be fixed, so I hope it will last a long time. I want to go with Kang Ji-young for more than five, 10 years as it has become a long-lived program like 'Free 19' and 'Man Who Runs the Chart'."
On the other hand, 'From One to Ten' will meet with viewers starting with the first broadcast at 8 p.m. on the same day. The first episode features interesting food and cultural stories from each country under the theme of 「Convenience stores around the world」.
