'Black Box on the Earth' (directed by Gu Min-jeong), a special project commemorating the 50th anniversary of the founding of KBS, which will be broadcast for the first time at 9:40 pm on October 9th, is set in six regions at home and abroad that are being destroyed by climate change, and artists are singing the last words of the earth through music. Korea's first climate crisis archive concert recording the events. Among these, 'Black Box on Earth' conveys the climate crisis in 'Seoul', which ranks 5th in carbon emissions in the world, through a video containing a dynamic and intense performance by 'Seventeen's performance leader' Hoshi on the 4th (Wednesday).
The released video shows Hoshi performing powerful choreography with 30 dancers in the middle of Gwanghwamun, Seoul. At night, when everyone is asleep, Hoshi explodes his powerful charm with the 'Tiger' stage while colorful and colorful lights are pouring down in the middle of Gwanghwamun, brightening up the night of Seoul even more. After the performance, which gradually became more heated, ended, the lights of Seoul, starting with Namsan Tower and the National Assembly Building, were turned off, and soon the entire city was engulfed in darkness, showing the appearance of Seoul in darkness.
In particular, Seoul is surprising as it was ranked 5th in carbon dioxide emissions in the world as of 2022. Among the large floating population, Hoshi's performance is attracting attention with its brilliant lights that do not go out, and this performance raises awareness by warning of the coming climate disaster.
Meanwhile, at the last press conference, PD Koo Min-jung said, “I am grateful to Seventeen’s Hoshi for focusing on and delivering a high-quality performance in a short period of time for the performance held in the middle of Gwanghwamun.”
Meanwhile, 'Black Box on the Earth', a special project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of KBS Corporation, which recorded through music the image of the Earth facing a crisis due to climate change, will be broadcast for the first time at 9:40 pm on Monday, October 9 and will be broadcast in four parts.
