The cast of ‘The Cute Expedition’ managed to overcome the age gap of 50 years with music. Singer Jinseong announced that the chemistry of the performers will bring happiness.

On the 2nd, an online production presentation was held for TV Chosun’s musical travel program ‘The Cute Expedition’. Producer Shin Myeong-seon and Roh Sa-yeon, Hwang Min-ho, Seo Ji-yu, Cho Seung-won, and Oh Ji-yul attended the event.

‘Gwiyeomppongjjak Expedition’ is a program where seniors and juniors with a difference of 50 years travel to eight provinces of the country, explore sights and food, and sing. The tour was led by the worker around Lee Soo-geun and Cosmic Girl Subin. The senior line was Jinseong Noh Sa-yeon Kang Jini, and the junior line was Hwang Min-ho Seo Ji-yu Jo Seung-won Oh Ji-yul.

Shin PD said, ‘If different generations come together, can they understand each other? He revealed that he was planning the ‘Cute Pong Jak Expedition’ with the curiosity of ‘will the conversation work?’. He also said he predicted it would be fun whether the talk worked or not. At the same time, he explained about the ‘Cute Pong Jjak Expedition’, “It is a program where older people and younger children with an age gap of more than half a century travel and reduce the gap between the generations and the cultural.”

There were also many concerns about recruitment. Shin PD said he was curious about what the children who showed off the trot stage would show below. He said, “I met a variety of friends. Among them, I chose children who can show a childish and innocent appearance.” Jin-seong was a person with detailed knowledge of the countryside and a person who could hold the center of the program. Regarding Noh Sa-yeon, PD Shin said, “She is fashionable and has a young mind. She is always open. He said that it was expected that Kang Jin would show a character opposite to Jin Sung.

Main lines Noh Sa-yeon and Jin-seong expressed their liking for the program. Noh Sa-yeon looked at the children who were singing a good trot and said, ‘How can I do this well? What kind of thoughts do these friends have?” He expressed his satisfaction, saying, “When I asked questions like ‘It was like this in our time. What do you think’, it seemed new and meaningful.” Jinseong said he had the heart to go on a memory trip. He said, “When I first met young friends, I thought they were clever.” He also told me that thinking about the countryside makes me happy.

Hwang Min-ho said that he decided to appear in order to show his charm that he could not show. Seo Ji-yu said, “I’m new to a travel program. I thought, ‘What if I do a travel program?’. I’m happy to be invited.” Oh Ji-yul said that he originally liked to travel and had expectations that he would be able to experience the countryside. Cho Seung-won said that he dreamed of a trip with his seniors, and he was happy that a good opportunity had come.

PD Shin said he wasn’t too concerned about the chemistry between the seniors and the younger ones as much as there was a consensus in music. He said, “The 50-year age gap seemed to be bridged through music. We became very close on set.” For the sake of naturalness, the production team tried to intervene as little as possible. PD Shin said, “I had to create that kind of atmosphere so that the chemistry would stand out in a fun and natural way.”

Jinseong said he was happy to be able to appear on a broadcast with his younger children. He explained that trot, which was considered a song for maniacs, has recently become a genre that many people enjoy. He said, “K-pop rules the world. Next time is K-trot. The main characters are young friends. I thought the fact that we breathe together (in the ‘Cute Pong Expedition’) is a great honour.”

I want to invite Jang Min-ho, Dex, and Jung Seong-hwa

I could also hear stories about the guests I wanted to invite. Cho Seung-won said, “I hope Uncle Jang Min-ho will come. He took good care of me on other shows and laughed well on stage, so I felt good. It would be nice sleep and eat together for 2 days and 1 night.” Oh Ji-ryul said that he would be able to have a good time traveling with Dex, whom he met through YouTube content. He also added, “It would be fun to travel with my dog.” Seo Ji-yu revealed that she was impressed by Jung Sung-hwa’s acting and singing in the movie ‘Hero’ and said she wanted to meet him.

Noh Sa-yeon said that the point to watch is to see the cast overcome the generation gap and live together. He said, “My young friends explained it to me in an easy way, and I was so grateful. He was cute, pretty, and lovable.” Jinseong suggested, “Doesn’t the word cute itself make you open your mind?” and “If you watch the program without any burden, you will be happy too.”

On the other hand, ‘The Cute Expedition’ is scheduled to be broadcast for the first time at 10:00pm on the same day.
