The formula that says ‘construction = no fun’ may now be broken.
Channel A will present the first domestic entertainment program on the topic of ‘construction’, ‘The Age of Construction Story’.It is determined to transform the rigid and heavy feeling of construction into a popular entertainment program with culture, humor, and even deep philosophy.’Construction Story’, which is also the program’s title and keyword, is a compound word of construction and ‘story’.

The cast is eye-catching.The MC is Do Kyung-wan, who majored in engineering.In addition, pop columnist Kim Tae-hoon, a master of general knowledge, and construction technology expert Dr.Shin Won-sang will be regular panelists.
The guest lineup is also impressive.Actor Baek Sung-hyun is a representative example, boasting a ‘real history’ of holding a construction-related regular membership license.In addition, Cosmic Girls ‘Dayoung, who actually holds a small excavator license, also appears, adding to the program’s expertise.

In a phone call with Sports Donga, CP Lee Seong-gyu, who led the program planning, explained about “The Age of Construction” by saying, “It started as a content called ‘Construction Talk Room’ on YouTube, and the response was pretty good.I wanted to explain construction, a broader concept that includes architecture, in an easy-to-understand way.”

According to this CP, ‘The Age of Gunsul’ is a concrete story entangled with the acoustics of a performance hall, and expands the scope of the conversation from concrete to urban structures.The stage was also configured as a virtual studio to add scale.Through this, interesting stories in construction are visually unraveled, from the K construction technology contained in Burj Khalifa to the transformation of Nanjido, which was a garbage island, into an eco-friendly park, and even a space station and a seaplane.

Lee Sung-kyu CP said, “We will cover everything from concert hall sound, construction safety in disasters, and even stories about building materials,” and added, “Ultimately, ‘construction’ is what supports our daily lives.You will be able to watch the exciting side of construction through ‘The Age of Construction.’” ‘The Age of Construction’ will be aired for the first time on the 28th.
