Na Young Suk shared his thoughts on his variety programs.
On December 14, tvN livestreamed producing director (PD) Na Young Suk and writer Choi Jae Young's discussion at the 「Year-End with tvN — tvN's Joy Festival 2019」 (literal title) on their YouTube channel. The PD commented after watching iconic scenes from the show with comedian Lee Se Young.
They first spoke about the 「People Quiz」 on 「New Journey to the West.」 A clip of Block B's P.O. relieving his past sorrow after correctly answering poutine went viral online.
Writer Choi Jae Young began, 「We give easy questions. We didn't think he'd get it correct when poutine was the answer, so everyone reacted with shock.」 PD Na Young Suk said, 「Before this, we prepared questions that would be fun for each member's personality. But viewers kept saying it was rigged, so we can't do that anymore. We really just ask questions in sequential order.」
Speaking about going to the East Sea for the 「Music Quiz,」 PD Na Young Suk said, 「Because the weather is unpredictable, the writers always carry around people and music quiz questions with them.」
SECHSKIES's Eun Ji Won and Lee Soo Geun『s 「Iceland in Three Meals」 also created buzz for its five-minute air time. The writer explained, 「It wasn't a punishment, but a reward. I also went, and it was a series of mismatched words and actions. They didn't want to go but had smiles on their faces, and they ate well although the food didn't suit their tastes. Lee Soo Geun especially had some concerns about the long flight, but he had a good time once he was there.」
As for the five-minute air time, the PD said, 「We think about trying new things, but we're not strategic people. While talking about something, Kang Ho Dong said that we should film an Iceland episode for five minutes and add it at the end of 『New Journey to the West.』 But they said this wasn't allowed due to broadcasting rules, so we got a separate five-minute slot.」
