Jeong Jae-hyung “At first, it was difficult to get ratings for music programs…” (Live Wire)

Jung Jae-hyung and Code Kunst revealed the reason they joined as MCs and their thoughts on the matter.

First, Jung Jae-hyung said at a press conference Mnet ‘Live Wire’ held at the Community House Masil in Jung-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 19th, “At first, I declined.I had a schedule for working on drama music, so it was difficult to do entertainment shows at the same time.However, these days, there aren’t that many places for musicians to stand, and there aren’t many ways to show things other than through performances.I thought it would be different from existing music programs, so I decided to introduce myself together.”

He also revealed his sense of responsibility as a musician, saying, “There was also the enthusiasm of the production team.Many people gathered together and worked hard for one program.The format itself contained a lot of the production team’s sincerity.Although music programs are not easy in terms of viewer ratings, I thought we had to do it.”

Code Kunst said, “First of all, I did it because Jung Jae-hyung said he would.Before going on a program, I think about whether it’s a program that I need and whether I’m interested in it.I became interested because Fairy Hyung said he would be joining.” He continued, “Another thing was the ‘connection’ theme of this program,” and added, “When I first started making music, we met to make music.As time went by, we ended up working through contacts rather than meeting in person.I had some regrets.I thought I’d be able to see people I wouldn’t otherwise meet meet, so I became interested and joined.”

Mnet ‘Live Wire’ is a new concept music entertainment that goes beyond a simple stage and connects artists and artists, audiences and audiences, and stages and viewers through ‘music’.Jung Jae-hyung and Code Kunst will be MCs.It will premiere simultaneously on Mnet and tvN at 7 p.m.on the 20th(Friday).
