MBC entertainment program 'Music Around Since You Were Born' ended with Gian84's travel to Jamaica on the 6th, and producer Kim Ji-woo, who directed the program, delivered an honest story about his affection and concerns for the program and thanked the viewers.
1.'Around the Music' ended. It must have been a meaningful program since it was the first spin-off of the `Taegye Ilju', how do you feel?
First of all, I would like to sincerely thank the viewers for staying with me until the end of the journey. I want to thank everyone who joined me after successfully completing the journey of 'Music around' that challenged the unfamiliar land of Jamaica, the U.S. under the theme of 'Music'.
There were two keywords in 2.'Music Around': travel and music. What was the most important part of your production, and what was the part that you tried to combine and harmonize travel and music?
After three trips, I talked with Gian84 about how I hope it will remain as a result, not just a trip. So under the slogan 'Travel Becomes Music', I tried to express the various fun and appreciation I felt at the destination in a concrete outcome of 'Music' without ending there. Through this, we have prepared so that viewers can feel a different fun than their previous trips.
He experienced the American hip-hop culture, including participating in a cypher of local rappers in Brooklyn, and based on the lives of immigrants and Gian84's own experience, he met cowboys living on the Texas ranch protecting the land and came out with the country music "Texas Summer". The experience of riding through the center of the United States all day long following the tornado's afterimage was reborn with a cheerful melody of 'Tornado', and throughout the process, the performers wrote their own lyrics and tried to melt their own travel experiences.
While 3.'Around the Music' was broadcast, a total of four songs were released, leaving meaningful results. Gian84 participated in the lyrics of 'Dandelion' and 'Tornado', and Yu-oh 'Texas Summer', and the challenge was also held to show the affection of the cast. I wonder what the three cast members reacted to when the song with their story was released, including the group song 'Like a friend'.
For his long-cherished dream of 'singer', Gian84 participated in the project more actively than anyone else, came up with song ideas, and took on new challenges by writing lyrics himself. And I expressed my gratitude that the result was able to come out because many people worked together.
From the first time he conceived the song, Yoo Tae-oh participated in the work while enjoying the whole process, such as creating a challenge section, selecting costumes and choreography, and gathering people to participate in the challenge together. In particular, I have expressed my happiness that I can introduce cowboy culture to Korea through songs.
Mr. Panibotl participated in the song, saying that fulfilling Mr. Gian84's dream is his greatest pleasure. In particular, he played the high-pitched part of 'Like a Friend' with the best singing ability among the three, and showed off his skills as much as a singer.
I hope that the viewers will also be able to see the achievement of the bucket list from their journey of `Music Around' and the sincerity and efforts of the performers who were not experts in the new challenge of music. In the difficult music market, I was very grateful to see the songs of non-singers enter the charts with the love and interest of viewers and watch the challenge.

Unlike the countries I have visited so far, filming conditions in the United States were particularly poor and difficult. In particular, it is regrettable that the meeting of the Cypher and Cooper families in the early days of the trip to New York was not able to capture the show more kindly and smoothly due to variables and difficulties such as the suspension of filming several times due to local circumstances, and the need to take permission at that time.
However, despite the difficult filming, it seems that Gian84 approached the locals first, actively communicated, and melted deeply. Even in an environment where there were many restrictions on freedom, Gian84 showed his willingness to melt with them by writing cypher lyrics on the spot according to the culture enjoyed by locals and mixing English and Korean with shocking rap (fxx the mbc).
Are there any plans for the Cooper family, the cowboy family, or Jamaican Joseph to come to Korea, just as Porphy, the Bolivian friend of the `Taegye Ilju,' came to Korea?
I don't have any plans at the moment, but I think the possibility is small because the performers and local friends are in touch and interact with each other.

For now, I'm trying to focus more on 'Taegye Ilju' However, if there is another bucket list that I can do 'Since I was born', I think I can try it.
There are many people waiting for the new season of 7."Taegye Ilju". Could you give us a hint about 'Taegye Ilju 4'?
I think the broadcast will be next year. The destination has not been decided yet, but it is not easy to go to, but everyone wants to find a place with dreams and fantasies at least once. I would like to start my journey once again in a place where the most distinctive points from other travel programs, 'local closeness' and 'raw appearance', can be well revealed.
If there's anything you want to say to the fans who loved "Taegye Ilju" after the series, please say something.
First of all, I really wanted to support Gian84's new challenge through this spin-off. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the viewers who supported and encouraged me.
On the other hand, I think it was a time to deeply realize what the viewers wanted. It was an opportunity to learn more clearly about the viewers' demands for fun that only "Taegye Ilju" can give, and based on what we learned this time, we will come back warmly with Season 4. Thank you so much for watching so far.
