On the 17th, a production presentation for 'The Seasons - Jay Park's Drive' was held at the public hall of KBS' new building. Producers Jay Park, Dong-Hwan Jeong, Seok-Hyung Park, and Chang-Soo Lee attended the event.
'Jay Park's Drive' is a talk show containing 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.
Producer Park Seok-hyung introduced, “This is a project that completes the main story by tying together four seasons with each musician’s personality and color.”
Jay Park, who served as MC for the first season, is an artist in his 15th year of debut. He established entertainment companies AOMG, Higher Music, and More Vision, and served as producer of Mnet's 'Show Me the Money' series and 'High School Rapper' series, and has been exposed to a variety of music as a musician and entertainment representative. This is the first time Jay Park has served as the sole MC for a terrestrial music broadcast since his debut in 2008.
Jay Park said, "I always think carefully about anything I do with my name on it. It's an honor to be the MC for a concert with 30 years of tradition. I'm doing my best to play my role well."
Producer Lee Chang-soo said, "I prepared for a long time, but during the first recording, my eyes went blank. Jay Park didn't proceed according to the script. After it was over, I thought it was a good idea to invite him. I wanted to break the preconceptions of small concerts, but Jay Park himself was prejudiced. “It was something that broke the rules. I think it showed a slightly newer, more appropriate way of proceeding for today’s times,” he said.
He continued, "This time we replaced it with a band. We are judging that it will be a broadcast that will be enjoyable to listen to."
'The Seasons - Jay Park's Drive' will premiere on February 5th at 10:55 PM.
