'Love Lab's' audacious imagination has become reality.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, a press conference for the Netflix daily variety show 'Love Lab' was held at Stanford Hotel Korea in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. CP Lee Jin-ju, PD Kang Yu-min, Monsta X's Jooheon, and YouTuber Charles N (real name Kim Chan-mi) attended.

Directed by Lee Jin-ju PD, who produced 'Transfer Love,' 'Love Lab' is a love observation experiment variety show that captures the love cells instinctively awakened in participants thrown into unexpected situations. Jooheon and Charles N serve as observers.

On this day, CP Lee stated regarding the criteria for selecting participants, "We selected them based on criteria that allowed us to clearly design the experiment among various ideas, and we recruited participants to fit the experiment. Rather than perfectly matching the criteria, what was most important was falling in love for real, so authenticity was the key factor we focused on in selecting participants."

Regarding the reason for recruiting Charles N, who is taking on his first broadcasting challenge, CP Lee said, "Whenever editing was difficult, I looked up Charles N's content. I thought it would be a new challenge if we worked together with Charles N."

'Love Lab' is composed of various experiments. In particular, it drew significant attention with the so-called 'bed blind date' that begins in a bed.

Regarding this, CP Lee explained, "Even the production team sometimes holds meetings while lying down, and conversations flow smoothly in those moments. We proceeded with the 'bed blind date' not as a provocative setup, but because we thought it might allow for softer, more relaxed conversations when the body is in a state of relaxation, and it was done with the consent of the participants."

Jooheon expressed satisfaction, saying, "It was so comfortable that I wondered if we could film like this. It was fun to watch the VCRs as if I were watching a friend."

Regarding his chemistry with Charles N, he added, "At first, it felt a bit awkward, but as we filmed, we became very lively, and it felt like we were friends we already knew, which was great."

Charles N also joked about his chemistry with Jooheon, saying, "It's great that we've become close enough to call each other 'oppa.' It's great to get close to an idol. It's an honor," eliciting laughter.

Additionally, regarding his first appearance on a broadcast show through 'Love Lab,' Charles N stated, "My main job is YouTube, so I had no intention of working as a broadcaster. I joined 'Love Lab' because it was a show I really wanted to try."

Regarding future broadcasting plans, he drew a line, saying, "Unless it's a show I really want to do, I have no intention of working as a broadcaster. I will continue to work as a YouTuber."

He continued, "The difference from other love programs is that we are filming at the PD's house. Other love programs rent venues or film in studios, but we have a unique comfort in the location itself. I don't watch many broadcast shows, so I approach this raw and unfiltered," showing confidence.

Meanwhile, Jooheon mentioned that he imagines the participants as his fans, Monbebe (Monsta X's fan club name). He said, "I'm the type who imagines the situation and watches with interest. When it comes to love, I think of my fans a lot. I thought about 'What is the feeling of love?' while imagining Monbebe. I also found myself thinking about 'What would Monbebe do?' while watching 'Love Lab.'"

The 'Love Lab' production team also revealed their goals. PD Kang said, "We aim to create the 'Infinite Challenge' of the broadcasting industry," and added, "With the mindset of 'going all the way,' we want to try without leaving any regrets. We want to finish it completely."

Finally, Jooheon mentioned as a viewing point, "Please enjoy the immersion and reactions," while Charles N said, "The pace is very fast. There are no scenes that drag on unnecessarily," showing confidence.

Meanwhile, 'Love Lab' will be released every Wednesday at 11 a.m.
