Producer Lee Chang-soo explained the differences between Jay Park and Jeong-hoon Choi as MCs of 'The Seasons'.
On the 9th, a production presentation for 'The Seasons - Choi Jeong-hoon's Park at Night' was held at the public hall of KBS' new building. PD Park Seok-hyung, PD Lee Chang-soo, music director Kang Seung-won, Jannabi's Choi Jeong-hoon, and Melomance's Jeong Dong-hwan attended the event.
'The Seasons' is a talk show featuring music and stories that will 'take away all your troubles and worries' on Sunday nights, when the week begins and ends. For the first time in KBS's late-night music program, an 'annual project' method has been introduced, with four MCs each taking charge of a season under their own name throughout 2023. Following ‘Jay Park’s Drive’, ‘Choi Jeong-hoon’s Park at Night’ is coming out in its second season.
Regarding his feelings after finishing 'Jay Park's Drive', producer Park Seok-hyung said, "I had my own shortcomings, but I feel fortunate that I achieved the ultimate success."
Producer Park continued, "The second season takes place between spring and summer. Emotional musician Choi Jeong-hoon took over as MC, and the title is Park at Night. Choi Jeong-hoon is famous for writing good lyrics, and there are many lyrics that I like. “This title was also taken from Choi Jeong-hoon’s song,” he explained.
When asked about the differences from 'Jay Park's Drive', PD Lee Chang-soo said, "First of all, Jeong-hoon Choi speaks Korean much better than Jay-beom Park. If Jay-beom Park was a hip host, I think Jeong-hoon Choi is a rare character. However, Jeong-hoon Choi was worse at taking on challenges than Jay-beom Park, so he went in a different direction. “I’m trying to appeal. While Jay Park spoke with a focus on the characters, I think Choi Jung-hoon would speak more along the lines of the song,” he said.
He added, "The energy has definitely changed. I think I'll have to record it today to find out if people will like it."
'The Seasons - Choi Jeong-hoon's Park at Night' will premiere at 10:55 pm on the 14th.
