Singer G-Dragon explained why he participated in ‘Good Day’.

On the 13th, an online production conference was held to commemorate the first broadcast of the new MBC entertainment show ‘Good Day’. PD Kim Tae-ho, G-Dragon, Jung Hyung-don, Defconn, and Code Kunst attended the production conference that day.

G-Dragon said, “While watching my juniors and seniors, when I was young, I had an image of seniors and juniors all getting along well, and that image was also the reason I wanted to become a singer. However, as the K-pop genre gained popularity around the world, the singers got too busy. I missed seeing them all together. “Personally, I have a comeback coming up, and if there is no event like this, I won‘t have a chance to approach them or say hello. Rather than just promoting, I wanted to leave something meaningful behind.” He continued, “The proceeds from the release of ‘Good Day’ will be used for good causes, on good days. At first, I thought of a song like ‘We Are The World’, but after meeting the members, I realized that I was stuck in my thoughts. My thoughts have become more open. Since it is a good cause, I am thinking of various things now.” And I hope this isn’t a one-time thing. I want to naturally let the current K-pop juniors and foreign fans hear the real K-pop that I listened to when I was young, the K-pop of my seniors, and the roots of Korean music,“ he said, hinting at the direction of his production.

‘Good Day (directed by Kim Tae-ho)’ is a music project in which G-Dragon completes the song of the year with people from various fields. It presents the process of G-Dragon himself taking part in the producing and telling the stories of various people through music as a reality show.

‘Good Day’ is a project that started from producer G-Dragon‘s idea of “wanting to use the power of music for good things.”

A lineup that goes beyond fields will be present, as the main characters will be those who have shined throughout the year. Jung Hyung-don and Defconn, who have shown fantastic chemistry since the ‘Infinite Challenge’ days, as well as Jo Se-ho, who is famous for his street savvy in the entertainment industry, and Code Kunst, G-Dragon’s comedic fairy, will be joining the planning team.

Actors Hwang Jung-min and Kim Go-eun, who agreed with the intention of the planning and decided to appear, as well as the entertainment industry‘s representative ‘88 Line’ Kim Soo-hyun, Jung Hae-in, Im Si-wan, Kwanghee, and Lee Soo-hyuk, will also be appearing. In addition, the lineup that is present will be unprecedented, including Seventeen unit members Boo Seok-soon (Seungkwan, Dokyeom, Hoshi), Hong Jin-kyung, Kian84, and chef Ahn Sung-jae, who are all huge fans of G-Dragon.

The reunion between PD Kim Tae-ho and G-Dragon, who are considered the best entertainment combination after working together on ‘Infinite Challenge Song Festival’, is also a point of interest.

‘Good Day’ will be first broadcast at 9:10 PM on the 16th (Sunday).
