Yoon Yunjun CP and Chae Sung-wook, who produced Sing Again 2, expressed their feelings that they finished the final Competitive dance without major accidents amid the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
JTBC's Singer Season 2-Unknown Singer Game (hereinafter referred to as Sing Again 2), which ended on February 28, is an audition program that gives singers who are desperate for the stage a chance to stand in front of the public Again. The 33rd singer Kim Ki-tai came to the top of the list and became the main character of 100 million won in prize money.
Sing Again 2 has gained the highest audience rating of the season with an audience rating of 8.659% (based on Nielsen Korea's nationwide paid households), but it has been difficult since You Hee-yeol, Lee Seung-gi, and Cho Kyuhyun were confirmed in Corona 19 during the broadcast. Fortunately, there was no change in the production schedule due to the difference between the confirmation time and the shooting time, but there was a variable that Yoon Jong Shin participated in the recording on behalf of You Hee-yeol in isolation.
“It would have been difficult to produce an internal program, but at the end of the day, we were worried about whether we could finish the season safely because of things that we could not avoid from Corona 19,” Yun said in a recent video interview. Fortunately, I am grateful that I have finished the final safely. I was able to finish the season well because of your interest and help. "
“I was so happy with Season 1, so I was not burdened, but I am grateful that more people are interested than I was worried about,” said Chae Sung-wook, a PD. There are issues in Corona and some of them are not smooth in the process of preparing, but I am glad it ended well. Many singers supported me and I was able to finish it well because I worked sincerely. "
Season 2 has become much more diverse in the individuality and musical genre of the participants than Season 1, and it has been difficult to predict who will win to the end as the players' skills have been upgraded. However, some viewers responded that there were fewer participants in the topic to be clearly presented than Season 1.
“I think the reason why there seems to be no more outstanding applicants than season 1 is because the gaze has been dispersed to many people,” said Chae Sung-wook, a PD. "I do not know who will win, and the genre and charm that viewers like are diverse, so I think there is such an evaluation." "Again itself does not pick stars like other auditions. It is a venue where singers who have been active in the field can get new opportunities. I think it would be nice if they started their activities, including TOP6, and they would pay a little attention to their activities from now on. "
Under the pressure to meet the expectations of viewers after season 1, the production team said that they focused on keeping the initials with the goal of making a better stage. In particular, it is a position that viewers' voting is applied only to the final in order to allow singers of various genres to return evenly.
The two cited the participants and stage that were impressive. "In the fourth round, Kim So-yeon was in the group of death, and even though he had a very good stage, he went to Repetchage because he was not good at Daejin. I started the Repechage and the stage stopped briefly in the middle. I did not ask for any specific reasons, but when I stopped, other participants were cheering together. "At the moment I got through it and started the highlights, I was horrified from the production team. I was very excited to see him survive and climb. "
Yoon Yunjun CP also mentioned Kim So-yeon. “Mr. Yoon retired from the ‘Woman Out of the Window’ and then came out and sang Choi Baek-ho’s song, which was the beginning of the Kim So-yeon drama,” said Yun. Kim Ki-tai, who had watched more than 10 million views as a song, sang the song of the late Kim Kwang-seok, which was close to his personal taste. "
It was not drawn on the air, but Kim Ki-tai also revealed the story of the difficulties of Corona 19 confirmation of the Competitive dance. “At the end of the day, Lee Seung-gi and Cho Kyuhyun were also confirmed in Corona 19, and Kim Ki-tai was also confirmed in Corona 19 when they were wondering if they could finish the season safely. It was not reported, but it was released two days before the last stage. "If confirmed to Corona 19, the neck will not return soon. I was in a bad condition and did the final stage, but the judges did not know the story because I should not be affected. I feel sorry and I feel sorry for it, so I remember it. "
