[News] 130409 ‘Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education’ Beats Out Competitors In Its Time Slot With Premiere

Kang Ho Dong‘s new variety show ‘Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education‘ is off to a good start as it debuted as #1 in its time slot, beating out ‘Incarnation‘.

AGB Nielsen Korea reported on April 10th that the 9th’s airing of KBS2‘s ‘Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education’ received a 6.2% viewer rating, which is a solid rating for this particular slot.

‘Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education’ stars Kang Ho Dong, Lee Soo Geun, Changmin, among others, and the premise of the show is that the stars go to different neighborhoods and compete against regular citizens. The first episode featured the MCs recruiting celebrities for their ping pong match against ordinary citizens.

SBS‘s ‘Incarnation’ that airs during the same time slot received a rating of 4.9%, which is a 2% drop from what it rated the previous week. This big drop allowed MBC‘s ‘PD Notebook‘ to rise above it with a 5.3% rating.

For those who have watched the show, what do you think of this new variety program?

He talked about the pressure he feels when he said, “I couldn’t sleep well because I was so worried,” and he also added, “Though there are many difficulties, the four people I’m working with are so dependable. I’m learning as I follow them, and I think I’ll get better if I work hard.”

[TRANS] 130110 Why Did Kang Ho Dong’s New Variety Show Change Its Name To ‘Moonlight Prince’?

[TRANS] 130110 Why Did Kang Ho Dong’s New Variety Show Change Its Name To ‘Moonlight Prince’?

Kang Ho Dong’s new KBS variety show has changed its name to ‘Moonlight Prince’.

The staff recently confirmed that the title of Kang Ho Dong’s variety show, which will start airing on the third week of January, will be ‘Moonlight Prince’. Though the show was initially set to be called ‘I Like You. A Night to Meet’, the title was changed as it was decided that a title that was shorter and had a greater impact would be more appropriate.

 

Regarding this, a representative of ‘Moonlight Prince’ explained, “The secret behind the name of the program will be revealed after shooting the first episode. The staff and representatives of the program are keeping everything top-secret. Even the celebrities participating in the show haven’t been told all the specifics of the show. As this is a program that Kang Ho Dong and the staff have spent a lot of time and effort on, we plan to bring a surprise with us when we present the show to viewers.”

A representative of the KBS variety sector also added, “‘I Like You. A Night to Meet’ was only a temporary title. The staff recently held a meeting and have decided to go with a fresh title of ‘Moonlight Prince’.”

‘Moonlight Prince’ will hold its first closed filming on the 12th of January. The first guest has been confirmed as Lee Seo Jin and the talk show will take place in a variety of ways. ‘Moonlight Prince’ will combine the strengths of variety shows like ‘YaShimManMan’, ‘Sang Sang Plus’ and ‘Happy Together’ and honest talk shows like ‘Knee Drop Guru’, ‘Win Win’ and ‘Healing Camp’. The MCs will be part of a ‘Kang Line’ and will have a horizontal relationship rather than a vertical one.

Meanwhile, ‘Moonlight Prince’ is garnering attention for combining the forces of Screenwriter Moon Eun Ae, who is called the Midas of the variety sector and participated in MBC’s ‘Golden Fishery-Knee Drop Guru’, and PD Lee Yae Ji, who has worked on KBS 2TV’s ‘Public Talk Show  Hello’. The MC team is made up of Kang Ho Dong, Choikang Changmin, Brave Brothers, Jung Jae Hyung and Tak Jae Hoon and the show will begin airing on the 22nd at 11:200pm.

[Trans] 130103 Kang Ho Dong’s New Variety Programme, The Reason Why Variety-Newbie Choikang Changmin Was Chosen

[Trans] 130103 Kang Ho Dong’s New Variety Programme, The Reason Why Variety-Newbie Choikang Changmin Was Chosen

New partners have emerged, in the form of Kang Ho Dong and Choikang Changmin.

The new variety programme that Kang Ho Dong is preparing with KBS will have its first recording on 12 Jan, and is expected to be broadcast starting 22 Jan at 11.20pm. It will be the follow-up of “Win Win”, which was recently terminated.

PD Lee Ye Ji and writer Mun Eun Ae from “Hello” will be working on this programme. Meanwhile, artistes including Tak Jae Hoon, TVXQ’s Choikang Changmin, Brave Brothers and Jung Jae Hyung are expected to appear as MCs. All the members aside from Choikang Changmin are all veterans at emceeing for variety programmes. Aside from appearing as a guest or panel member in variety programmes as a member of TVXQ, Choikang Changmin has never faced guests, holding a microphone, as an MC. As such, the news that Choikang Changmin would be appearing as an emcee in Kang Ho Dong’s new highly-anticipated variety programme came as a surprise to fans.

In response to this, representatives from the KBS Variety Department revealed during an phone interview with Newsen on the afternoon on 2 Jan the reason why Choikang Changmin was able to capture the hearts of both Kang Ho Dong and the production team. This representative explained, “Kang Ho Dong and the production team felt that an idol group member was required for the new talk show, but at the same time they didn’t want someone who was a familiar face or was already active on variety shows. They were also looking for someone of a certain “level” of eloquence. Through all that, Choikang Changmin stood out.” “In actual fact the production team also thought ‘There’s no way TVXQ would come and be MCs right?’ when they sent the request, but SM Entertainment gave the OK.”

 

However, it is true that the production team and Kang Ho Dong had their reservations as to whether Choikang Changmin had the qualities required of a variety programme MC. TVXQ has received much recognition in the fields of music and acting, but it is only with variety that they have not demonstrated remarkable growth. With regards to this, the KBS Variety Department representative stated, “After conversing with Choikang Changmin, I have realised that he is much more eloquent and interesting than people expect. Furthermore, he is a young man with a healthy and warm image, which have been determined to be very suitable for the variety show this time. I am looking forward (to his performance).”

[TRANS] 121224 Choikang Changmin To Work With Kang Ho Dong On His New KBS Variety Show

[TRANS] 121224 Choikang Changmin To Work With Kang Ho Dong On His New KBS Variety Show

– His first regular appearance on a variety show since making his debut 8 years ago

– High expectations for him to become ‘the 2nd Lee Seung Gi’

TVXQ’s Choikang Changmin (24, Shim Changmin) has become ‘Kang Ho Dong’s New Man’.

According to broadcasting representatives, Choikang Changmin will be working with Kang Ho Dong on his return to KBS variety shows. This will be the first time that Choikang Changmin makes a regular appearance on a variety show. Since making his debut as a member of TVXQ in 2004, Choikang Changmin has been focusing on his activities as a singer for the past eight years.

It has been found that the production team have high expectations for Choikang Changmin’s addition to the show.

Choikang Changmin has not revealed much of his true personality on broadcasted TV shows aside from his image as a singer. He has not tapped into his potential in variety shows yet. Though his image as a model student is strong, close friends of Choikang Changmin have stated that he is famous for being a ‘character full of mischief’. He laughs a lot too. Many are curious to see if Choikang Changmin will be revealing his ‘lacking’ charm in this new variety show. There are broadcasting representatives who are banking on Choikang Changmin becoming ‘the 2nd Lee Seung Gi’.

The KBS Variety Sector has stated that it is in the final stages of preparing the new show, calling in celebrities such as Choikang Changmin to make appearances. Set to begin airing mid-January of 2013, the show is currently preparing to start filming at the beginning of the new year.

The concept of Kang Ho Dong’s new KBS variety show has yet to be revealed. Though there are rumors that it will be a talk show, the production company is keeping silent on the details of the show. The KBS Variety Sector has revealed that they are planning to air Kang Ho Dong’s new program on Saturdays. A representative stated, “Kang Ho Dong’s new program is being kept a secret,” and “We’re making sure it stays this way because the wrong information during the preparation process could start the show off on the wrong foot.”
