'Since you were born, you've become a must-have entertainment show by showing the new world of music travel.

MBC's entertainment program 「'Kim Ji-woo, directed by 'Music around'」, which aired on the 18th, recorded 2.3% of the 2049 viewership, which is a key indicator of channel competitiveness and advertising officials, and 2.8% of the viewership per 2049 minutes. This is the highest in both 2049 and 2049 minute-per-minute ratings compared to the previous first episode of the 'around-the-world' series, which broke its own highest ratings each season.

Taking on a new challenge as a spin-off rather than a new season, 'Music Around' adds to its meaning by setting a new record from the beginning. Household viewership was 4% in the Seoul metropolitan area, with up to 4.5% per minute for Gian84 departing for the Bronx as well as walking down the street while watching the unknown traffic order in the Bronx.(Based on Nielsen Korea)



On this day's broadcast, Gian 84, who had kept his dream of becoming a singer as a child, began his solo trip to the U.S., and met viewers' expectations with unpredictable developments and fun performances. First of all, Gian 84, who appeared at Incheon International Airport on the day of departure, appeared wearing clothes from the previous day's recording of 'I Live Alone' and a bag given to him by his Bolivian friend Poppy, adding to his friend's friend's friend. He also spoke poor English as soon as he arrived in New York and made the taxi driver sweat out, causing a big laugh.

The freewheeling nature of 'A man living while he was born' also raised interest. Enjoying the journey in his own way, sitting on the bare floor, eating and lying down in Central Park.



In particular, the scene where Gian 84, who suddenly had an urgent signal to the large intestine, rushed around from Central Park to surrounding buildings in search of the bathroom made even viewers sweat. He continued to fail to find the bathroom and his anger gauge was rising, but thanks to a citizen who recognized him at the mart, he put out the urgent fire and finally regained his bright smile, causing laughter.

Above all, Gian84's challenge of rapping in English in front of dozens of rappers in Brooklyn left a deep impression. Contrary to his desire to blend well into hip-hop culture, Gian84 devastated the studio by spewing harsh expressions toward MBC. The rappers who did not give up until the end and poured out their stories in Korean added warmth and applause for recognition and respect to him.



In addition, a local rapper who helped him when he wandered into rap gave Gian84 a real hip-hop neighborhood tour, listening to their culture and real stories and sharing a meaningful time.

In this way, Gian84's "Leaving Around the Music", which opened with a solo trip to the United States, met raw travel and music, adding meaning to the joy as a basic and different experience. Traveling by subway to the Bronx or enjoying local hip-hop in Brooklyn, the hometown of Jay-Z and Biggie, the symbols of hip-hop in the eastern United States, came fresher with scenes that can only be seen in 'Music Around'.

MBC's entertainment program 'Around the Music Since You Were Born' airs every Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
