A new type of idol audition program has appeared.

JTBC's new idol audition program 'Project 7' held a production presentation at the Fairmont Ambassador Seoul B1 Grand Ballroom in Yeouido, Seoul, on the 18th and shared stories about the program. Producer Ma Gun-young, producer Chae Sung-wook, MC Lee Soo-hyuk, director Ryan Jeon, Ha Sung-woon, Lee Hae-in, Ryu Dee and Bada attended the site.

JTBC 'Project 7' is a new concept idol audition program that introduces the concept of 'assembly, reinforcement' that allows viewers to select participants by round from the first vote, form a new team, and grow their favorite participants through the process.

Above all, the assembly and reinforcement are differentiated from existing audition programs, raising questions. Producer Ma Gun-young thought that the scope of voting was small in the concept of fostering idols with existing viewers. The only official vote was to support a friend I liked. When competing in each round, the benefits of the competition are also great. The sum of the votes would also be different, so I thought about it if the people watching the show could influence the competition of their friends" he opened his mouth.

"If you watch a lot of games, don't you make a team out of soccer players' characters?" The team strengthens, strengthens, and wins. With that in mind, this friend, who I support, said, "When I have any shortcomings, how strengthened it will be when I can compete for the next stage, I wanted to melt it when I meet a vocal or rap or an enhanced friend."

As it is an idol audition program, there is also a great concern about fairness. Producer Ma "There were a lot of cases. It is true that details become difficult. We are going to hold a vote with Weverse. It is said that there are more than 15 million users worldwide on Weverse. If you come into Weverse, you can vote. There is a voting system, and there is also a voting system that we created this time. The whole process will be made clear. I think we've been preparing for it to some extent."

However, due to limited programming time, not all personnel can appear on the screen fairly and fairly. It is the production team's position that they should pay more attention to fun than to the process. I have no choice but to edit it mainly, but I will release a lot of content before and after the broadcast on SNS to keep it as much as possible"I helped.

There are also concerns that the final debut group did not officially debut on JTBC 'Mix Nine' in the past. Producer Ma is very different from hosting "Mix Nine". This time, SLL and Studio Slam will be held on JTBC. There's certainly no such thing as not being able to make a debut this time. The best professionals and crew for the debut group will create new labels. I will definitely support my debut and activities after that"I was determined.

Model and actor Lee Soo-hyuk will be the MC. Above all, audition MC is attracting attention because it is the first time since his debut. Lee Soo-hyuk likes K-pop itself. I didn't have many opportunities to be together because my job was learning. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work. The production company SLL and Slam are also reliable production companies, so I wanted to do it together. I might be immature because it's my first time, but I was going to prepare well. What I felt during the shooting was the position to go toward my dream, and I felt a lot of passion for these friends. I will think a lot of things and help the program well"He expressed his determination.

"I'm cheering for them while thinking a lot about what they're doing on stage with their debut."," he advised.

As Korea's first Idol Assembly Reinforcement Audition', regardless of age, career, and genre, expectations have been raised vertically by confirming the lineup of super-strong directors such as Ryan Jeon, Ha Sung-woon, Lee Hae-in, Ryu Dee-Bada based only on their skills and abilities. These director line-ups are expected to play an all-round role in selecting participants as well as empathizing customized mentoring with fair and meticulous evaluation of rustic murder and expertise tailored to trends.

K-pop hit song maker Ryan Jeon explained why he participated as a director, saying, "I was so happy to receive the love call because I worked with him on 'peak time' last year. I know the process of watching from training to artist debut, so I have a lot of data. I would think I should participate. I know that if I share my know-how, present directions, and make sacrifices together, it will definitely be a fun situation where explosion occurs. There are many things to learn by watching them. So he willingly said he wanted to do it. I'm watching and learning, too. It's been leveled up, but I'm giving you detailed advice," he said.

Lee Hae-in, who went from an idol audition participant to a director, participated in 'Produce 101' with 100 people and Idol School, and while working with various friends, these friends risked their lives and worked hard. The biggest thing I felt was that when you do something beyond your limits, you learn something precious. Competition may feel stimulating, but I think it's worth growing up. Not all friends can be successful candidates from those experiences, but I think they will learn valuable experiences."

Ha Sung-woon also became a director from an idol audition participant. "It was a burden when I first came up with the proposal. Ha Sung-woon, who said, `Someone's advice can be an experience, but don't you get hurt when you get hit?' said, `I felt that it could be hurt, so the production team found the courage to do a good job and support it. I took on a challenge, too. It reminded me of the old days. There's quite a lot I can tell you. I'm also passionately supporting them" he said.

As the leader of the eventual winner of 'Street Woman Fighter 2', Bada becomes the dance director "It's our first broadcast day, and so far, if it's been a survival that we have to prove, we have something to prove as we grow up." I hope you can see the synergy process such as combination and reinforcement. These are my friends who are personally full of charm." "I think the point will be how it is strengthened," said Rudy, who is also a dance director.

While regular directors are coming out, special directors are also coming out. Producer Chae Sung-wook said, `We also needed people who fit their respective specialties. I wanted to invite the directors in detail. A total of 100 friends were chosen like that. Additional directors will be available in the future.

Ha Sung-woon met those who participated in Season 2 of Produce 101 as directors again. First of all, Lee Dae-hwi, who was a member of Wanna One's debut project group for Season 2 of "Produce 101", will also join as a special director. HA SUNG WOON met DAE HWI first at the shop"The other friends did not meet at the scene. I was a survival competitor, but I felt that I met him in the same place and was growing. That's why I'm so proud."

On the other hand, assembly and reinforcement could be the special thing about Project 7, but there was also a lot of controversy over the team's mission on Netflix 'Black and White Cook', which was recently made by the production company Studio Slam.

Producer Chae said "The concept of strengthening assembly is linked to co-workers and growth. Rather than competing in the same group, it is better for them to become colleagues who assemble together and solve missions as a team. There is no competition or release in them. I hope you can focus on how to strengthen and supplement your strengths."

Finally, Lee Hae-in "There were many parts that reversed expectations. It's not obvious, so I think I can watch it again,' Lee Soo-hyuk said. `It's a place where my friends gathered with dreams, so I'm taking it seriously. We provide a fair and good environment as much as possible. I'm trying to show these guys a great side of me.'

Ha Sung-woon said "I wonder if the first episode will be edited. There are some friends who want me to put it together with this friend while filming. I think I can feel that kind of fun from the first episode. There are so many friends coming out."

Ryan Jeon "While talking with the production team, the word raw came out. First of all, the result is different from other auditions. Anyway, it's fun. I'm getting emotional, too. I can see the process of friends becoming professionals. I'm just getting angry. That much affection makes me feverish. I hope you will support me as well."

Producer Chae said, `I think it will be the first broadcast to know how it was selected through what process. Please vote a lot." Producer Ma said, "It's broadcasting in Korea and coming out from all over the world at the same time. I don't really feel immersed these days when I watched survival in the past, but I'm trying to make more of that happen. Please refer to that point."

JTBC's new idol audition program 'Project 7' will premiere at 8:50 p.m. on the 18th.
