Code Kunst Reflects on Childhood Visits to Art Museums and His Role in New Reality Show

Code Kunst, also known as Cocoon, shared that he frequently visited art museums as a child, inspired by his mother who was an art teacher.

On the 20th, an online press conference was held for tvN's new variety show 'After School Taeri Teacher.' The event was attended by directors Park Ji-ye and Hwang Seul-woo, along with cast members Kim Tae-ri, Choi Hyun-wook, Kangnam, and Code Kunst.

'After School Taeri Teacher' is a reality show that captures a unique after-school theater class at a small village elementary school. Kim Tae-ri takes on the role of the theater class teacher, with Choi Hyun-wook and Kangnam as assistant teachers. Code Kunst participates as the music director for the theater stage.

When asked about his teaching approach, Code Kunst explained, "Perhaps due to habits I wasn't aware of, I found myself trying to add flair to the music, even though it needed to be pure. It was challenging to convey the children's pure emotions without embellishment. Normally, I think about how to make music more stylish, but this time, I focused on making it less so, because sometimes less is more."

He continued, "I remember going to art museums with my mother, who was an art teacher, and her students when I was young. I realized then that instead of trying to become like a child, I should treat children as individuals with their own brilliant thoughts. I approached this project with the same mindset, recognizing that children are fully-fledged individuals with their own unique perspectives."

'After School Taeri Teacher' premieres on the 22nd at 7:40 PM on tvN.
