SBS's new music audition 'Our Ballad' is equipped with all the elements that will make it a hot topic and ready to meet with viewers 'fully armed'. Attention is focusing on whether their aim will be transformed into a box office signal.
On the morning of the 23rd, SBS Hall on the 13th floor of SBS in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, held a production presentation for SBS' new music audition 'Our Ballad'. Producer Jeong Ik-seung, director Jeong Jae-hyung, Cha Tae-hyun, Jeon Hyun-moo, Danny Koo, Crush, and Jung Seung-hwan attended to talk about the program.
'Our Ballad' is a musical audition that recreates life ballads that encompass generations with new voices. It tries to differentiate itself from existing auditions by participating in voting directly by 150 men and women of all ages and determining the results. SBS, SM Entertainment, and SM C&C collaborated to produce a large project-like scale.
Producer Jeong Ik-seung, director of the production, said, `We set the principle of showing the performance that we worked hard on until the end without cutting it"Since it is the short-form era, it may be boring if the breathing is long, but the participants' sincerity should be conveyed as it is. I prepared it with confidence as if I was watching a movie" he said.
Jeon Hyun-moo, who was the MC, said, `I did all the audition programs except for SuperSketch and Singer Gain. This time, I will also be a judge"I will evaluate the stage by the ears of the public." He then said, `The desperate eyes of the participants aged 18 on average remind me of my initial intention.'
Cha Tae-hyun said "At first, I thought 'Is it going to be fun?' but there was no time to be bored. The chemistry of the nine judges is also good. "It was sincere that I shed tears in the pre-released video. I think 2 hours and 40 minutes is an expression of confidence. I hope the gambler will be the target."
Jeong Jae-hyung said "I was wondering if I could make it because I had a proposal in the second half when I was working as a music director for a drama, but on the first recording day, I was sure that 'Well done'." I was moved enough to cry even after watching it again,' he said, adding that even the same song " feels completely different for each judge. There will be moments that capture popularity and musicality at the same time."
Jung Seung-hwan seemed to overlap my past on stage as a contestant for "K-Pop Star". I thought about whether I could evaluate it, but I thought I was sharing my impressions as one of the top white gurus"I was greatly stimulated by the eyes of the participants" he said.
Crush said "Looking at the participants, I looked back at the music again. Viewers will feel the same way, and Danny Koo was surprised to see the various colors of the ballads expressed. have a good impetus as a performer as well," he added.
Jeong Jae-hyung said "When young participants interpret the songs of their parents' generation, a completely different impression comes out. I'm not good at it, but there are times when the truth comes bigger,' Cha Tae-hyun said. `Elementary school student participants passed even though their voices were not heard. He emphasized that this choice is possible as 'Our Ballad's unique charm'
Jeon Hyun-moo said, `There are not many programs that the whole family can watch in the living room these days. "Our Ballad' is a content that connects generations,' he said. "I hope you enjoy ballads with a good autumn family."
Meanwhile, 'Our Ballad' will premiere at 9 p.m. on the 23rd, and the first broadcast will run for 160 minutes in a special expanded program.
