On the 2nd, a press conference for the new KBS Joy variety program "Sudden Japan-Korea Match" was held at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. PD Shim So-hee, Korean comedians Lee Su-geun, Hwang Je-seong, Japanese comedians Fukushima Yoshinari, Wespi (Wes-P), and Seimei Name Japanese member Hitomi attended.
"Sudden Japan-Korea Match" is a variety show that resolves various issues, from minor differences in perspective between Koreans and Japanese to real-life conflicts, through games, combining the fun of variety shows with the unique tension of a national competition.
On this day, Hitomi, who served as the program's MC and judge, said, "Everyone took good care of me, so there were no difficulties," and added, "I can't say everything as it might be a spoiler, but it was really fun."
When asked about the differences between Japanese and Korean variety shows, Hitomi replied, "Filming in Korea takes longer and there are many more cameras. In Japan, a single camera follows multiple people."
Meanwhile, "Sudden Japan-Korea Match" will premiere on the 7th at 8 p.m.
