The producer of "First place" gave a "surprise" spoiler about the cast.

On the morning of the 11th, MBC's Golden Mouse Hall in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, held a production presentation for MBC's new entertainment show "First Place." Co-directors Kim Myung-jin and Chae Hyun-seok PD, MC Lee Min-jung and Boom attended.

The "first place" is an "audition finish" where the final winners of previous music auditions that shook Korea will gather to determine the true throne. In addition to Lee Min-jung and Boom, singers Baek Ji-young, Park Ji-hyun, Le Seraphim Kim Chae-won, and actor Heo Sung-tae will appear on the fixed panel.

When asked about the veiled lineup of participants, PD Kim Myung-jin drew attention by surprisingly announcing, "Mnet 'Superstar K2' winner Huh Gak, SBS 'Our Ballad' winner Lee Ye-ji, and TV Chosun 'Tomorrow is the People's Singer' winner Park Chang-geun."

He then asked for understanding, saying, "The disclosure of participants is also one of the points to watch the program, so I can't tell you everything."

When asked about the recruitment process, he said, "I thought it wouldn't be fun for viewers without people I know, so I set it up mainly for people who all know. It was based on whether the program was famous or the singer was famous. The recruitment was not easy. They are the ones who finally won the first place after fierce competition, so they don't want to be stressed out again. I understand that too much, but I have persuaded him constantly. Except for just one person, it usually took a week or two for everyone to accept. I'm also thinking of adding participants," he said in a behind-the-scenes story.

The first episode of "First Place" will air at 8:50 p.m. on the 15th.
