'Omniscient Interfering View' will reveal singer Park Jin-young's visit to Cheong Wa Dae, where he serves as a member of the Committee on Cultural Exchange Gong Dong-wi (Director).

According to the production team of MBC's variety program 'Omniscient Interfering View' (planned by Kang Young-seon, directed by Kim Yun-jip, Jeon Jae-wook, Gimhae-ni, Jung Dong-sik, and Lee Da-un, written by Yeo Hyun-jeon), the 409th episode airing on August 1 will feature scenes from a meeting at Cheong Wa Dae with Committee on Cultural Exchange Gong Dong-wi (Director) member Park Jin-young.

During the session with Secretary to the President Choi Hwi-young and Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Choi Hwi-young, he outlined his ambition to create the world's largest 'K-Cochella' and directly briefed on the 'Fanomenon' project. The plan includes adding large-scale performances featuring overseas artists and various K-culture experience programs to turn it into a festival enjoyed by fans worldwide.

Park Jin-young emphasized that "for the sustainability of K-culture, it must grow beyond culture into an industry," stating that K-pop should play a central role in this process. The background behind how the four major domestic music agencies HYBE, SM, JYP, and YG came together with a shared vision will also be revealed.

Amid rising global status of K-pop, Secretary to the President Kang Hoon-sik shared an anecdote about being asked by world leaders during international summits to procure K-idol light sticks.

As a result, behind-the-scenes footage of Park Jin-young personally sourcing and delivering the light sticks will also be shown. Along with episodes highlighting the growing global stature of K-pop, serious discussions among the three individuals regarding the future of K-culture are expected to draw attention. The episode airs on August 1 at 11:10 p.m.

Meanwhile, last September, Park Jin-young was granted minister-level courtesy as a member of the Committee on Cultural Exchange Gong Dong-wi (Director) under the direct supervision of the President. The Committee on Cultural Exchange was newly established to prepare a public-private collaboration system necessary for spreading popular culture such as music, drama, film, and games amid high global interest in Korean culture.
