A unique meeting between the countryside and MZ visits the home turf on the weekend evening.

ENA-E Channel '(hereinafter 'Country Gansan Z') held a production presentation at IFC Seoul in Yeouido on the 5th and told the story of the program. ENA producer Lee Hye-ok, E-channel producer worldwide, studio producer Ko Min-seok, MC Yang Se-chan, Lee Eun-ji, Song Gun-hee, (G)I-DLE Mi-yeon and Jung Dong-won attended the production presentation.

'Country Z' is a 'real hip-tro (hip + retro) variety' where MZ rural travel stories are unfolded with individuality of members who want to enjoy the countryside 'Z'. Producer Ko, who directed the program, said "To put it simply, the most sophisticated and most familiar people in the city go to the countryside and become ambassador through the challenge. I think you can go to the countryside and think of it as containing everything that is local and local, " he introduced the program.



Then "When I first thought about the composition, I thought it would be good for members of various ages to go. I expected their harmony to be good, and it turned out that way", he revealed the background of his casting.

In the meantime, "The point is to communicate with the members and the local elderly. I'm staying for 1 night and 2 days, and even if a guest comes, I'll be your older sister by the evening. We fully explained our program to the local people. Rather, he welcomed me very warmly, so I think you can feel it on the show. "



Producer Lee is popular with ENA's weekend targeting programming with "I'm Solo' during the week" and "I'm Solsa-gye", which came to organize this kind of entertainment on the weekend. I planned a family-style variety show, and I was going to schedule a weekend." Regarding the collaboration with ENA, PD Jeon "There are various joint projects being carried out now. Apart from terrestrial or general service, I think joint production is necessary to survive in the broadcasting market called cable. The two companies are working on 'country Z'. I think this synergy will be clearly seen in terms of ratings."

Yang Se-chan, Lee Eun-ji, Lee Eun-ji, Mi-yeon, Song Gun-hee, and Jung Dong-won are attracting attention as the best MC corps to lead the Z between the countryside. Yang Se-chan is in charge of the audio with his bedside brother", Lee Eun-ji "I'm a tension girl, and I take care of arginine when I'm tired, so it's the ambience of the nurse's room " and Song Geon-hee "It's my first time doing an entertainment show. It was his first appearance on a variety show in the movie "Country Street Z". I don't think so, but they call it a face sign.', Mi-yeon came as a guest and joined as a regular. It feels like a dream to be here. I had a lot of fun filming it, so I hope you love it", Jung Dong-won said, `I think I played the role of the youngest because my brothers and sisters led me well. Please look forward to the youngest role in the future."



At the same time, he also revealed the reason why he joined the program. Yang Se-chan said, "The combination of members was fresh. It's ambiguous to say MZ, but I wanted to enjoy it as the last MZ, so I wanted to do it with young friends.", Lee Eun-ji said, "I like to go on a vacation and get healing in a busy modern society. The theme itself was trendy when I saw MZ who went to the countryside," Song Geon-hee said. "The members thought the combination was good. If it's my first time doing a variety show, I want to do it in a variety show like this. I would have felt burdened if I were good at cooking or knowing the countryside, but I don't think it would be burdensome because it's something that people living in cities experience in the countryside."

Above all, Mi-yeon comes as a guest and joins as a regular, drawing attention. Mi-yeon said "I heard which members came out, and at first, I went as a guest and came with a light and pleasant heart. I thought my seat would be very small. I thought I would be sad if I didn't come after that. I was so surprised, too." Then Se-chan "Mi-yeon is what we wanted. Mi-yeon has to rely on us, but we relied on her. Even on the day of his trip, he said, `Please fix it, see you next week as well.'

Mi-yeon "I was thinking all night, too. I was able to finish my schedule. I thought you would call me at work, but I thought was it a joke. I was grateful that it worked. I am doing it with gratitude as more and more times go by"I helped.

The youngest, Jung Dong-won, said "I wanted to do this variety from the beginning. 'Mr. Trot's intention was to have fun with the top 7 brothers in the youngest position. He was the youngest again this time. He said he would do it with the thought that he could go comfortably because he was going to play. We will continue to work hard."

In particular, Jung Dong-won is the youngest, but as he was raised by his grandfather, it seems that it would not have been difficult to communicate with the elderly in the countryside. Jung Dong-won said "I was not unfamiliar with the countryside because I was from a rural area. It felt like I went to my hometown for the first time in a long time. It was comfortable and good."

And then "When I was playing games with my grandmother, my grandmothers welcomed me very much. We are all popular, but among them, they liked me the most. So I felt really good. I thought, 'Am I popular among us now?'", he confessed.

Then Yang Se-chan "The elders didn't know us. Let's just say it's our Dongwon, and Jung Dongwon said, `So now I feel good thinking that I'm the first place. It was fun to film" he said. Regarding the know-how to communicate with adults " There is no know-how, and it came out naturally because I met many elderly people. He talked to me comfortably first. I think I did a good job, too."

Song Gun-hee, who quickly became the trend after breaking down into Kim Tae-sung, a handsome base in Bendbu, in the drama 「Bounce With Seonjae」, will also play the visual center of confidence in 「Z」, and perform a lovely performance with the hearts of rural grandmothers.

Song Geon-hee said in her first entertainment show, `The members were so good and I was able to do it comfortably. I think I can feel a lot of familiarity with our chemistry." As for the person you want to invite as a guest, you said, "'I want Byun Woo-seok or Kim Hye-yoon to come and get healing when they are busy' 'Wonjae on his back' and 'Bounce on his back', which received cheers from the members. However, when asked if there was any support from them, he laughed, saying, `There was no support, but I told them to have fun and come back.'

Other members also mentioned people they would like to invite as guests. Yang Se-chan wants to invite "(Joe) Nathan. I hope it feels like the countryside", Lee Eun-ji said "It would be nice if anyone could come, but it would be nice if Harry Styles, Jameson Mraz, Christina Aguilena, etc. came. And it was healing to be in the village vacation. I hope Son Heung-min comes because I think it would be good for those who are very busy and tired to come. I want to be healed and healed..." he said, drawing laughter.

Then "Miyeon is " (Girl) I want foreign members to come." I think it'd be nice if the members came and became ambassador", Jung Dong-won said "Se-chan is at the end of MZ, but I hope Jang Min-ho comes, not MZ." I hope the person who breaks the MZ concept comes last"I hoped.

Finally, Yang Se-chan "There is no big burden as a bedside sentence. In fact, I am (Lee) Eun-ji, but there is no big difference from (Lee) E-kyung. If the program goes wrong, there's such a burden that he might say, `I blame him.' My friends don't see me as a kkondae."

He also cooks with local specialties. My friends' cooking skills are also coming out. As it was a real variety show, there was no scene where the members came out raw. There are a lot of raw things coming out this time. He boasted of his fun, saying, "I can't see my bare face from the beginning."

Lee Eun-ji also felt "'Imokase' is popular, and I felt 'Grammakase' here. I didn't interact with my grandmother, but I played games with her and heard about her life. You can enjoy a lot of different contents than I thought. It was interesting to have a relationship with my grandmother. There are also so many good places in our country. I think you can feel the attractions that are hidden everywhere" he forewarned.

ENA-E Channel 'City Z' will premiere at 8:30 p.m. on the 8th.
