The 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan, which will be broadcast on the ENA channel on December 20, is a new concept cultural exchange project in which artists representing Korea and Japan enter each other's streets, languages, and emotions and communicate with each other through music.
Previously, 'Change Street' proved its overwhelming scale by drawing attention with its ultra-luxurious Korean artist lineup regardless of genre, including 1st Kara Heo Young-ji, Astro Yoon San-ha, Pentagon Hui, HYNN (Park Hye-won), 2nd Lee Dong-hwi, Lee Sang-i, Jung Ji-so, Mamamoo Wheein, 3rd Lee Seung-gi, Super Junior Ryeowook, Chungha, and Tomorrow X TOGETHER Tae-hyun.
On top of that, the news of the confirmation of the MC of Korea's representative MC Shin Dong-yeop and the all-round entertainer U-Know Yunho was announced on the 25th, and the program completed the establishment of a world view in earnest.
And the newly released addition of Gangnam adds a new conclusion to the narrative of this 'Change Street'.
Gangnam, who was born in Japan, worked for a long time in Korea, and naturalized to Korea, is a person who understands the similarities and differences between the cultures of the two countries, the temperature of emotions, and the subtle nuances of language better than anyone else. The experience of musical activities is also solid, and the emotional lines of stages in each city are considered the best 'cultural interpreter' to unravel with artistic sense and realistic language.
In particular, Gangnam serves as a bridge between the differences and the studio's witty explanation of the differences, from the unfamiliarity that Korean artists feel on the Japanese streets to the new stimuli that Japanese artists experience on the Korean stage. Gangnam plans to convey the most intuitive and warm point of empathy to viewers by carefully pointing out the air behind the stage, the warmth of the street, and the mood flowing from the busking site.
Meanwhile, the global music entertainment program Change Street, in which the streets, people, and cultures of the two countries lead to one stage, will be co-produced by Forest Media, Hangang Fore ENM, and ENA, and will air every Saturday at 9:30 p.m. on the ENA channel from December 20.
