On the morning of the 22nd, a press conference for the production of KBS2's new entertainment program 'Survival Game Code Red' was held at KBS in Yeouido, Seoul. Park Goon, Mo Tae-beom, Jo Jun-ho, Lee Seung-guk, Moon Su-in, Jjang-jae, Kwak Beom-seok, Hong Beom-seok, Go Se-jun PD, Go Eun-byeol PD, and Bae Seong-jae and Jung Eun-hye announcers attended.
'Survival Game Code Red' is a public interest entertainment program that conveys the wisdom of living safely by showing the process of surviving in various virtual disaster situations.
On this day, PD Go Se-joon said of 'Code Red', "This is a disaster safety program that KBS has ambitiously prepared. Disaster safety information is put into a survival reality entertainment format. I started with the thought of whether I could survive like the main character in a movie. I felt like watching a disaster movie while watching how I got through a game designed similar to a real crisis situation, and I didn't have manual knowledge, but the performers bumped into each other and showed themselves with their bodies. It's a program that can give you helpful information. Just watching it increases your ability to cope with crises, and it will be much more fun to see the chemistry, cooperative spirit, competitive spirit, and characters of the six survivors."
There are also differences from existing survival programs such as 'Great Escape' and 'Physical 100'. Producer Go Eun-byeol said, “There are quite a few programs where the production team throws missions and worldviews at them.” It is different to participate in a mission with a goal for the public good,” he emphasized.
Regarding the selection of the performers, "I thought a lot because it was not a general entertainment program. Since it is claiming to be survival, there was a precondition that the ability level had to be above a certain level. I thought a lot about who would be able to express my individuality. Also, when various performers gathered, I thought about what kind of synergy it would create while recruiting them."
Park Goon said, “I was able to get rid of fear and tension by being with other performers. I am enjoying filming,” he said, “I will deliver useful information and all the skills I learned in the military to the public.”
Kwak Beom said, “Life itself is survival. The process of becoming a comedian and the process of being active as a YouTuber are all survival games,” he said. Being discharged as a teaching assistant in the Marine Corps is the pride of my life.”
Jo Jun-ho said, "Park Gun-hyung assumes the worst situation, but as a national representative, I lived a life of exercising in the best environment. I was embarrassed when Park Gun-hyung showed passion that the production team did not explain. I’m working hard to follow you because you showed me,” he said honestly.
Bae Seong-jae laughed, saying, “I watched while drinking honey in the studio during the first and second filming,” and “I was excited, laughed, watched slowly, and screamed like a sportscaster. While filming, I felt that the production team was sweating,” he said.
“There are scenes where people who seem to be calm and smart unexpectedly show ignorance and get embarrassed. These scenes will be a fun factor,” he added.
'Survival Game Code Red' will be broadcast for the first time on the 3rd of next month at 5:10 pm.
