The program’s core focus is on connecting people through music, fostering empathy and immersion through live performances where artists and audiences interact. in an era dominated by online connections, ‘Live Wire’ seeks to highlight the value of experiencing music together in a physical space.

Behind the Scenes with Shin Yu-sun PD

Ahead of the premiere, Shin Yu-sun PD shared insights into the program’s background, production process, MC selection, and unique format.

Q. What is the background of ‘Live Wire’?

A. Nowadays people communicate easier than anyone online, but they feel more and more disconnected offline. In particular, the MZ generation wants a ‘real meeting’ to empathize and experience with people who have a good taste. Now,I wanted to create a program that can connect people and people through the medium of music,in the flow of ‘experience’ and ‘sharing’,not just ‘consumption’. So ‘Live Wire’ began.

Q. What is the difference between the existing music talk show?

A. ‘Live Wire’ is not just a live stage list, but a talk show that draws ‘people and people’ through music. The biggest feature is the ‘Relay Jing’ structure, which leads to the singer who wants to meet in person.Unexpected combinations, hidden ties, and honest talks are unfolded. Above all, the audience was also special. Through the ‘Music Tasting Test’, it is indeed divided into four groups, and the audience of similar tastes sit together to enjoy the performance and naturally connect.

‘Live Wire’ is not just a live stage list, but a talk show that draws ‘people and people’ through music.

Q. Why did you choose MC Jung Jae-hyung and Code Kunst?

A. Jung Jae-hyung is an all-round artist that encompasses classical music to popular music and film music, and deep musical insights and romantic speech add the emotion of ‘Live Wire’.The expression ‘romantic Maestro’ goes well together. Code Kunst is a trendy producer and sincere mentor, leading to a sincere conversation with warm empathy and wit. It is said to be ‘hip-hop national MC’. we expect two diffrent resolutions to balance.

Q. I’m looking forward to a long live music talk show after a long time. I know that the recording has already been in progress, but I’m curious about the on-site audience.

A. Since it is a composition with live performances of the artists, we tried to improve the satisfaction of all artists and audiences by consisting of members who have worked with the top bands with the top musicians. Even in the first recording site, ther was a lot of reactions that “music quality is so good.” to confidently speak, I can dare to say that if you look at the musical completion, you will be 120 out of 100 points.

Q. If you tell me a little more in more detail at the first recording.

The first recording scene was full of dialog with a sincere stage in a hot response. In particular, the satisfaction with the arrangement and music quality was high, and the artists’ reaction to “I want to appear again” continued. Kim Chang-wan met his junior artist on stage and said,”I am really grateful and happy for me to meet music.” MC Jung Jae-hyung also said,”I think I was really good at playing music on the same day.” Some artists promised to work together in real music with the meeting in ‘Live Wire’.

Q. A word I want to tell to prospective viewers.

A. ‘Live Wire’ includes unpredictable guest combinations, MC Jung Jae-hyung and Code Kunst’s comfortable and pleasant talk, and vivid live that can only be felt in the field. “uh? I like this person too?” You can feel the surprising fun. I hope you enjoy it comfortably, comfortably and enjoyable.
