It goes beyond being just a busking program, delivering the authenticity of music born on-site and the candid stories hidden behind it, providing viewers with fresh and moving music. Especially, the program, broadcast in this historic year of the 60th anniversary of normalization of Japan-Korea relations, is expected to serve as a bridge connecting the two countries as a cultural exchange content that depicts the cultural diversity and musical identity of both countries, allowing viewers from Korea and Japan to empathize and enjoy. The first lineup includes KARA's Youngji, ASTRO's Yoon Sanha, PENTAGON's Hui, and HYNN. Attention is focused on how their different musical worlds and outstanding vocal abilities will showcase remarkable chemistry. In the future, the MCs and panelists leading the program, as well as various artists, will be announced sequentially. 'Change Street,' which delivers laughter and emotion through music and makes one feel the essential charm of music and the meaning of warm exchanges, is a joint production by FOREST MEDIA, Hangang Fore ENM, and ENA, scheduled to be broadcast in December on ENA and Fuji TV. The music resonating in the streets and the deep empathy exchanged within it are expected to become a significant stage commemorating the 60th anniversary of normalization of Japan-Korea relations.
