Kim Jae-joong, a member of JYJ and actor from the group TVXQ, shared his thoughts on joining 'The Scout'.
On the morning of the 29th, a production announcement for ENA's new variety show 'The Scout: A Star Reborn' (hereinafter 'The Scout') was held at the Cube Convention Center in Mapo-gu, Seoul. The master squad, including Lee Seung-cheol, Kim Jae-joong, Wendy (Red Velvet), Young K (DAY6), and Cho Sung-hoon, attended.
'The Scout' is a growth-oriented music project where top experts in the music industry personally discover 'raw gems' who have yet to fully showcase their talents and present them with new directions and possibilities.
On this day, Kim Jae-joong said, "'The Scout' is, without a doubt, the most unique audition program." He continued, "In existing audition programs, aren't contestants quickly eliminated without even a sliver of a chance if they receive poor evaluations?"
He added, "Most of the muses appearing on 'The Scout' have already experienced elimination from the start. This is a competition program that tells a story of growth together by providing them with deeper opportunities and information that comes from experience once again. I believe it is a production that well depicts a growth narrative. I am also learning a great deal alongside them."
'The Scout' will air its first episode on May 8.
