The new season of SBS's "Life History of Over-Death" will start broadcasting in Korea. Today (28th), an online production announcement for SBS's new program "Life History of Over-Death" was held, attended by Lee Yong-jin, Lee Ji-he, Lee Chang-won, NMIXX's Heo-won, and producer Song Jong-min. "Life History of Over-Death" is a new concept character storyteller program that tracks the hidden "life history" of figures in history and the "choices" of figures that have turned the world upside down. After the pilot program was broadcast last August (a program that determines the lineup after test broadcasting before regular programming), a new season will be broadcast. Lee Yong-jin, Lee Chang-won, Lee Ji-he, and Heo-won will serve as MCs. On this day, producer Song Jong-min said, "In a sense, it started from a very foolish idea. I have thought, 'What if I had made a different choice at that time?' I wanted to make a program that explores the crossroads of life." He added, "When I set a goal to live the lives of various people and make choices, it became a lofty hope to make a program that would become courage and help us in the moment of choice we actually face." Regarding the MC, he said, "We tried to bring in people with high talk power that would immerse them in the program." Lee Yong-jin, who appeared in the pilot, is very good at talking. Lee Chang-won has rich knowledge and I wanted to immerse him together. Lee Ji-he gives a sense of immersion with rich comments and empathy. Heo-won, who is also famous as a "meme" genius, has a good eye that only people in their 20s can show, so we welcomed him with affection." The glamorous VA (Virtual) set has been a topic of conversation since the pilot. In connection with this, producer Song Jong-min explained, "It attracted attention by saying, 'Is it chroma key?' I wanted to create a virtual world with a game engine. It was a concept of 'the world changes depending on what choice you make,' so I wanted to create a production like a simulation game." Lee Yong-jin said, "It's an honor and it's good. I like the life and questions of one person. It's a program that I can approach with curiosity, so it suited me well. I wanted to be with you until the end." Regarding the lineup of performers, he said, "Lee Ji-he is a representative of the entertainment industry and is very interested in other people. I think she is a very suitable performer for the concept. Also, thanks to Lee Chang-won and Heo-won, I think the colors have been completed. They are young people, but they have a good balance. We have to target various viewers, but they are the best members for that." Lee Ji-he also agreed, saying, "We are used to the atmosphere, so we need new faces and fresh flavors." "Lee Chang-won, who showed pride and confidence in "Life History of Over-Death," said, "I personally like and pursue the format of the program. I can say with confidence that even if I didn't understand other subjects in high school, I got a perfect score on the social studies test (Korea's center test) and never missed the top grade in social studies from the first year to the third year. I was especially interested in world history and history, and I think "Life History of Over-Death" is a program that deals with figures who played a central role in world history. I think it's very honorable." He also talked about the storytellers he wanted to invite, saying, "I would like to invite Director Lee Seung-yop, who shook Korea with the biography of a great baseball player, and Commissioner Yang Jun-hyuk." Lee Ji-he, who said she cried too much from the beginning, said, "I'm a person who empathizes too much. I immerse myself in other people's lives as if they were my own. When I listen to people's lives, there are points where tears come out. In that situation, I always think it's sad when the life story is over." Regarding what she is currently immersed in, she said, "Time and conditions don't match. I'm immersed in childcare regardless of my thoughts. It's an unavoidable situation. If I were given time to immerse myself without childcare, I would think I would play again. I want to play happily and pour that energy into artistic thoughts." Heo-won said, "I haven't been in K-POP for a long time, but I was grateful to be a special MC for a music program and a corner MC. I have confidence in my field, but now it was time to listen to the life story of one person, so I was cautious and nervous. I tried recording several times, but I was happy as the youngest." He added, "In the group, I mainly lead as the leader, and if there are sensitive or worrying questions, I have to answer and think, but I am grateful that the veteran seniors made it fun for me." "Life History of Over-Death" will start broadcasting in Korea today (28th) at 9:00 p.m.
