Yoo Se-yoon “It’s hard to proceed with a program that doesn’t show up.”
On the 14th, an online production presentation for TVING's new original entertainment show 'Webtoon Singer' was held. Producer Hwang Seong-ho, who directed the production, and MCs SHINee's Minho, Yoo Se-yoon, and Jang Do-yeon attended.
Jang Do-yeon, Yoo Se-yoon, and Minho revealed the reason why they took on the role of MCs for 'Webtoon Singer'. Jang Do-yeon said, “I thought it was refreshing. I am from the comics generation rather than webtoons, but there are many people who love webtoons. “I think this program came out at the right time,” he said. He continued, “I have a relationship with the PD, having worked on a program with him before. “There was no reason to decline because it was a great production team that had everything,” he said, revealing the reason for accepting the MC invitation.
Yoo Se-yoon said, “There is a program that makes you feel good as soon as you see the plan. I'm not the type of person who has a good sense, but the programs I have a strong sense of are huge hits. When I saw ‘Webtoon Singer’, I understood it just by looking at the title. “There weren’t many programs (that I was in charge of) that season,” he confessed. He continued, “There are times when I think, ‘I wish season 2 didn’t go into a program that doesn’t feature any angles.’ We too are suffering as we proceed. It is difficult to pour water into a bottomless dock when there is no exit in sight. However, even when ‘Webtoon Singer’ was waiting, ‘I have to go to season 2. “It’s a worthwhile program,” he said, confident that it would be fun.
Minho said, “When I first received the offer, the combination of K-webtoon and K-pop was refreshing. I stand on stage as a team and also act individually. There are a lot of works coming out through webtoons, and I thought this would be a program that would be of great help to me. “I thought I wanted to do it, but when I heard that Se-yoon and Do-yeon had been selected as MCs, I thought I had to do it no matter what.”
PD Hwang said, “I thought it would be good for all three to have images from webtoons. Do-yeon felt like the main character of a romance comic, and Se-yoon had a connection with webtoons when I was in the thick of it. He is also working on ‘I Hear Your Voice’, and his hosting skills are outstanding. “Minho is like the main character of a boy’s cartoon,” he said.
‘Webtoon Singer’ is a music show where scalable K-webtoons and talented K-pop artists come together to present a storytelling stage. It will be released on the 17th.
