CNBLUE's Jung Yonghwa and actress Moon Gayoung reunited after about 14 years. On the morning of the 20th, a production presentation for Mnet's new survival program 'STEAL HEART CLUB' was held at the Grand Ballroom of the Eliena Hotel in Gangnam, Seoul. Present were producers Lee Hyun-jin and Kim Eun-mi, along with Moon Gayoung, Jung Yonghwa, Peppertones' Lee Jang-won, Sonu Jeong-a, and Ha Sung-woon from Wanna One. On this day, Jung Yonghwa proudly spoke of his special connection with Moon Gayoung. He smiled, saying, 'Moon Gayoung and I played siblings in the 2011 MBC drama 'Do You Like Me?' and after 14 years, we are reuniting in 'STEAL HEART CLUB.' He expressed his enjoyment of the filming, stating, 'It's very fun every time we shoot,' and showed his affection for the program, saying, 'We are creating wonderful band music with wonderful people, so I hope you love it a lot.' Jung Yonghwa, who is celebrating his 16th year since debuting with CNBLUE, shared, 'Over 16 years, I have received a lot of criticism and love. I have experienced various things, but I have steadily continued performing. I think my approach to handling many failures and my attitude towards performances have become stronger through performing both overseas and in Korea.' He continued, 'I have always had the desire to convey the know-how I have cultivated as I age to the fullest. I have been active with the mindset of doing my best to be respected so that when I become a senior, I can pass on a lot to my juniors. Meeting this wonderful program 'STEAL HEART CLUB,' I am excited while filming.' Moon Gayoung, who will serve as the first solo MC for a music survival program, revealed, 'I have loved band music since I was young, so I didn't hesitate much when I received the offer. I had a strong desire to enjoy that live stage more than anyone else, so I was grateful when the opportunity came.' She added, 'I love new challenges. Every time we record, I often say, 'I'm really glad I became an MC.' There are so many memorable stages, and I think my role is to convey them well to the viewers watching those stages.' 'STEAL HEART CLUB' is a global band-making project where participants gathered in positions like drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, and vocals engage in a survival to become the 'last headliner band' with their music, emotions, and passionate youth as weapons. It will start airing in Korea on October 21 at 10 PM, and in Japan, it will be broadcast simultaneously and exclusively on ABEMA from the same day.
