Regarding his first meeting as an MC, Jung Jae-hyung said, “I was worried because I had never met Code Kunst while doing music,” and “However, when we actually met, my worries were unfounded because we had good chemistry.Please look forward to our chemistry on the show.” Code Kunst said, “I am truly honored to be able to do a music program in the style I’ve always wanted to do with Jung Jae-hyung,” and “I always thought of him as a musician and senior from whom I have a lot to learn, so I feel even more overwhelmed.”

When asked about his thoughts on the first recording, Jung Jae-hyung said, “I actually had a lot of worries, but the artists I met on site and their live performances were the start of a musical exploration that broke down my genre-specific preconceptions.” Code Kunst said, “It was a time when I could laugh with the audience and musicians through music.” He added, “I would like to thank once again those who love my music and the music of all musicians.”

The two chose ‘diversity and connection’ as the unique charm of the program.Jeong Jae-hyung said, “I hope it becomes a platform where artists with different backgrounds can stay in one place for a while regardless of genre,” and Code Kunst emphasized, “The natural flow of musicians meeting artists they have personally nominated is very attractive.”

When asked who they would like to meet if they were to participate as guests rather than MCs, they each showed their fandom.Jung Jae-hyung said, “I really want to invite people who are hard to see on broadcasts, like seniors Jo Yong-pil and Lee So-ra,” and Code Kunst said, “Lee Hi is like a persona to me,” and “We’ve never worked together on a broadcast stage, so I really want to meet her.”

Lastly, Jung Jae-hyung expressed his love for music and his ambition to introduce various musical textures through ‘Live Wire’.Jung Jae-hyung said, “People who make music have different directions and tastes, but I think their hearts toward music are the same,” and “I hope this program can convey a diverse spectrum of music with that sincerity.” He continued, “I worked hard to prepare it so that it can be a music program that people with different tastes can relate to and understand, so please watch it a lot.”

Meanwhile, ‘Live Wire’ will premiere simultaneously on Mnet and tvN at 7 PM on Friday, June 20th.
