Producer Lee Hyung-jin said at the press conference of Mnet's new program 'Steel Heart Club" held at Eliena Hotel in Gangnam, Seoul on the 20th, "I'm so glad to see the revival because I participated in the 'University Song Festival"I hope our program goes well"
Mnet 'Steelheart Club' is a global band-making project in which participants in each position of guitar, drum, bass, vocal and keyboard compete fiercely to form a 'last headliner band' using the romance of youth, raw sensibility and on-stage instinct.
Producer Lee Hyung-jin said, `It could be TMI (too much information) from the beginning, but I usually liked band music. If I had the opportunity to become a producer and direct, I wanted to deliver fun things from the band scene to the viewers. When I heard that there was a boom in the band scene in the performance industry, I wanted to plan a band program that I originally wanted to do with the atmosphere. I wanted to contribute to God"I explained the reason for the plan.
Then "I think that for God to expand and last, a star must be born. Through our program, we hope that an iconic band that works globally will come out. "
The point of attention on the stage of 'Steelheart Club' is 'Real Band Sound'. Producer Kim Eun-mi put more effort into presenting band music and often performs mainly on vocals. It is a program that shows the band, so we are trying to direct the stage so that all position members can get attention. I think each character was clearly visible, so the audience must have felt the charm of each one. I think the viewers watching the show will be the same."
It is also of interest that participants of different nationalities, styles, visuals, and musical backgrounds form various combinations. Jung Yong-hwa "I was excited to film from the beginning. I was excited about what kind of friends there would be. I received a strong youthful energy. He also received a strong sense of desperation that it must be music. I met several friends, but they seem to love music. I was in a good mood" expressed satisfaction.
CJ ENM is in charge of program planning and production, and Kakao Entertainment is in charge of program distribution and album planning, production, and management of the band that was finally born. Through the partnership between the two companies, we plan to introduce the next generation of iKONIC bands that will continue the global K-band boom. As a result, questions arise about the specific contractual relationship of the debut band.
This PD has strengths in distribution, management, and artist production on Kakao, and Mnet has IP to create numerous survival shows. The two companies are discussing in-depth whether they can succeed in this project and have good activities for their debuting friends. We are discussing future plans as to whether we can support it better. Through our infrastructure, we will prepare to reach out to global fans through various activities," he replied.
The difference from existing band programs is that there was a structure in which existing bands came out and fought or competed, and there was a form in which each of them formed. The difference between us is that skills are important, but people with good skills and techniques do not form a band. People of various backgrounds, nationalities, and personalities become a band together and grow into a team. There are not only majors, but people who have just started music are also participating. I think viewers who found the band difficult can feel familiar as well.
Most of all, coincidentally, it's called a 'college' for a star band' will be revived for the first time in 13 years, and will be broadcast on the 26th. I'm going to college because I'm in the original band audition'' and 'New Band Audition'' 'Stillheart Club' meet with viewers around the same time.
Producer Lee said, "I'm going to college"be one of those who love one too much for. Actually ' go to collegeI participated in the ' and went all the way to the final qualifying round. 'Going to collegeThe 'Jae' played a big role as a channel for producing new singers from the Korean music scene and the band scene, and I participated in the 'University' as wellIt's so nice that 'Jae' is revived again.
And then " Go to college' is a window for rookies, and there are especially many band members. Therefore, the genre itself is considered to be a trend that attracts attention in Korea. But he's going to collegeIt's not like we're competing with each other to take away the pie, it's the universityI hope that the band scene will become a friendly opportunity for viewers and the public as it goes well, and we also hope that it will be a good opportunity for the band scene to become familiar with the audience and the public."
Global Band Making Survival Mnet 'Steel Heart Club' will premiere on October 21 (Tue) at 10 p.m.
