A K-workplace culture improvement project is being launched that will provide cider to office workers suffering from 'villains' who are stuffing their stomachs.
On the 20th, the production presentation of Channel S and MBN's new entertainment show 'Office Villain' was broadcast live online. Shin Dong-yeop, Hong Hyun-hee, Lee Jin-ho, PD Kim Seong, and Lee Jun-gyu attended the event.
'Office Villains' is a program that will become an essential item for office workers' mental management by chewing, tearing, and tasting the stories of various villains in the office that threaten their peaceful work life. 3 MCs Shin Dong-yeop, Hong Hyeon-hee, and Lee Jin-ho watch the stories of villains that appear in the workplace through dramas, learn about their psychology, and provide useful tips for work life.
Producer Kim Seong was confident, “We tried to explain what happens at work well through entertainment. “There are many items that people can relate to.”
When asked about the reason for recruiting MCs, PD Kim said, "I thought Shin Dong-yup would be like an older brother but also a fun adult. I also thought about who would be good at empathizing with difficult stories that need to be heard. , seen, and shared, and Shin Dong-yup came to mind. Hong Hyun-hee works at a pharmaceutical company. He had experience working at, and later achieved his dream of becoming a comedian. He must have experienced the organizational culture there while "working as a comedian. There are many points of sympathy, and he is so cute. I wanted to be with him."
He continued, "Lee Jin-ho worked in a variety of jobs from various part-time jobs to menial labor when he was young. He met various office villains, and although he was the youngest in 'Knowing Bros', he was the senior in 'Comedy Big League'. He has a lot to say because he has experienced both seniors and juniors. “It seemed like it,” he added.
Shin Dong-yeop, who is at the top of his social life, said, "When the offer came, I was a little conflicted. I wondered if I would be able to gain sympathy and fun from what was happening within the company." He added, "I finished the second recording, but I can't say anything because the viewership ratings are God's domain, but we had fun among ourselves. “It was exciting to film," he said.
He then joked, "Me, Hong Hyun-hee, and Lee Jin-ho are all famous for being nice and easygoing," and joked, "Luckily, heaven helped us. The PDs we hired are villains."
What kind of person does Shin Dong-yup think is the 'worst villain'? Shin Dong-yeop said, "There was a boss who made a sexual joke, and it was very unpleasant to see. If the other person finds the joke funny, it's a joke, but if it makes the other person uncomfortable, it's not a joke. The other person shouldn't feel humiliated or ashamed." “When I saw people making jokes with impure intentions in their daily lives, I thought that was really problematic,” he said.
He then made people laugh by saying, “I also make dirty jokes on TV for fun, but I do it to make money, but there are times when I go home and cry.” When asked about the secret to speaking without making the other person feel bad, Shin Dong-yeop advised, "You must be considerate of the other person unconditionally."
Jinho Lee, the self-proclaimed king of part-time jobs, emphasized, "I think it's a place where I can sympathize with office workers and sometimes say something harsh. It's very fun and has a message."
On this day, Hong Hyun-hee drew attention as she had a band wrapped around her finger. When Shin Dong-yeop asked why he was injured, Hong Hyun-hee said, "(Jun-beom) cut himself while making baby food, and he hasn't given birth yet."
Hong Hyun-hee, who used to work at a pharmaceutical company, said about her feelings about working with Shin Dong-yup and Lee Jin-ho, "Before I started working actively as a comedian, my two seniors always told me that I would “Do well.” He added, "When it comes to senior Dong-yeop, you can't miss a company dinner, but unfortunately, I missed the company dinner on the first day. “I couldn't do it," he said. In response, Shin Dong-yeop explained, “It was because of the health checkup the next day.” Jin-ho Lee praised, "Hong Hyun-hee is playing the role of Hong Il-jeom well. Thanks to this, the atmosphere at the recording studio is bright."
When asked about the guest he would like to invite to 'Office Villain', Shin Dong-yeop said, "Hong Seok-cheon, the villain of the gay world. I don't know if he is a villain or not, but he is of considerable vested interest, so I want to hear about what's going on in that world."
Hong Hyun-hee chose Song Eun-i and Rhymer CEO, and Lee Jin-ho said Seo Jang-hoon, saying, "I think he will strongly sympathize with me and scold me harshly with his fastball."
Regarding the point to watch, Jin-ho Lee said, "It contains hyper-realistic comedy. I hope no one gets hit by villains anymore. Not only bosses but also new recruits are villains. Please report as many people who are having a hard time at work." Hong Hyun-hee said confidently, "There are programs specializing in childcare and couples, but there doesn't seem to be any mental care for office workers. I think it will become an essential guide for office workers."
Shin Dong-yeop said, "I don't know whether the sexual theory or the evil evil theory is correct, but there are really bad people. There is no way for that person to change, so we have no choice but to pray that We don't get involved. In addition, there are people who make things difficult for others even though they don't have bad intentions. “I dream of the day when there will be no villains in society, and I will realize that I “could be a villain while watching this program,” he said.
'Office Villain' will premiere on the 20th at 10:40 PM.
