Producer Choi Bo-pil, “The program name ‘School Trip Without Math’ was a pun.”
On the 9th, a production presentation for SBS's new entertainment show 'School Trip Without Math' (hereinafter referred to as 'School Trip') was held at a cafe in Hapjeong-dong, Seoul. Producer Choi Bo-pil and actors Lee Yong-jin and Yang Se-chan attended.
Producer Choi, who has experience directing ‘Running Man,’ said, “In ‘Running Man,’ everyone was a veteran, so the missions had to be upgraded, but here, even if we gave them games that could be played on a school field trip, they played well. “It was more fun than I expected,” he said, pointing out the differences from existing variety shows.
Regarding the story behind the name of the program, PD Choi made people laugh by saying, “It was made as a pun, so no matter how much meaning I gave it, it didn’t work.” He then expressed satisfaction, saying, “In the end, I think it was in line with the direction of the program.”
The program logo was drawn by webtoon writer and YouTuber Chum-chum-man Lee Mal-nyeon. PD Choi said, “It seems like there are a lot of similar images in entertainment, so I tried to adopt a different image, and I personally like it, so I contacted them through business. “At first he did it willingly, but later he didn’t,” he joked.
'Study Training' is a romantic, math-free and ignorant variety show about six men performing special missions and unique games on a field trip. It will be aired for the first time at 9pm on the 9th.
