• Interview with Yang Jung-woo's EP of tvN's entertainment show "Cold"

(Following interview ①)

Yang Jung-woo's EP, which directed "Chagane," revealed deep trust in Cha Seung-won, Choo Sung-hoon, Tommy, Dindin and Danny Gu.

Star News met and interviewed Yang Jung-woo EP, who directed tvN's entertainment program "Chagane" at the CJ ENM Center in Sangam, Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 5th.

"Chagane," which ended with the 9th episode, is a real spicy variety of gangsta family Chagane, which aims to take a shot in life by developing a new spicy sauce, and actor Cha Seung-won, mixed martial arts player and broadcaster Choo Sung-hoon, trainer Tommy, rapper Dindin and violinist Danny Koo joined forces.

"It's cold" is a quirk. The beauty of "Chagane" is that the result value varies according to each choice, like a kind of board game that does not follow the existing entertainment composition and seeks a direction by rolling a dice. The program, which doesn't know where it's going to stand out, even wore the mask of "Sitcom," and the sitcom-like editing style that pops out from time to time stands out for its novelty, which was hard to find in broadcasters.

Yang, who met with Star News, recalled the time of filming in Thailand and said, "I didn't go on the show, but I talked with the cast about composition of sitcoms and composition of members with boss Cha Seung-won, and Choo Sung-hoon persuaded Cha Seung-won one night in a flamboyant Korean language that had never been seen before."

"[Choo Sung-hoon] persuaded Cha Seung-won by saying, 'This is something you have to lose to your younger brothers.' Cha Seung-won also responded to that saying, "Yeah, play with me," and confessed, "That's how I came to play the role of boss."

If Cha Seung-won and Choo Sung-hoon played the No. 1 and No. 2 roles and gave laughter with their bickering chemistry, Tommy was a hidden worker. Although the entertainment was not very fun because he had no experience in broadcasting, the unadorned appearance came as a fresh attraction to viewers. Above all, his consideration of flexibly coordinating between his brother and brother stood out, earning him a reputation as a hidden housekeeper of "Chagane."

Tommy's joining was also decided on the spot. In fact, the first broadcast of "Cha Gane" showed Tommy, a longtime relationship with Cha Seung-won and Choo Sung-hoon, being recruited on the spot, drawing laughter.

Regarding Tommy's casting, Yang EP said, "What Tommy says to me every time is, 'Your expression that day looked like hell.' I was already worried, but (Cha Seung-won and Choo Sung-hoon) called (Tommy) on the spot and came. Of course, I knew I needed a hand. I was just afraid because it was my first time doing a program like this," he said, smiling.

As for Dindin and Danny Gu, "I felt the need for a performer who could play a more intermediate role, so I found a young worker. I met Dindin and Danny Gu separately and they both have very different styles, which was nice. I liked it differently. In fact, I was going to serve one of the two, and opinions were divided even among the production team. Then someone from the staff said, "Let's go together," and that's how all five of us got together in Thailand."

Cha Seung-won and Choo Sung-hoon collide with each other with very different personalities and styles. Watching the two seriously bickering was also a fun factor in "Chagane."

Both EPs said, "They probably didn't know they didn't fit that well either. Actually, I thought the two of you were cool rather than not getting along. In fact, I thought it was cool and precious that the two of you, who had built a friendship of about 15 years, had a relationship that respected each other. "I thought it was possible because we definitely respect and like each other without communicating with each other," he said.

"We did not predict that Chu Sung-hoon went to meet a chef in Thailand. (Choo Sung-hoon) certainly had an animal sense. He also has an excellent business sense, so he has a great way to come up with ideas and realize them. Both Cha Seung-won, who thinks and plans, and Choo Sung-hoon, who acts, have considerable experience, so they were very reliable," he said, expressing his trust in Cha Seung-won and Choo Sung-hoon.

Also, "There were so many ideas, but only a few were on the show. I've studied all kinds of things, but I can't eat mysterious food. Cha Seung-won had a clear philosophy of "I like home-cooked meals and I love Korean food." He wanted to develop a comfortable taste that he knew and liked well. He also had a great sense of pride. In fact, the filming schedule changed according to the schedule of kimchi when we decided to make kimchi. During the kimchi development process, (Cha Seung-won) did not yield enough to check the period, time, and temperature of the kimchi ripened," he explained.

He added, "On the other hand, Chu Sung-hoon's sauce was developed with the use of improvisation."
