Tzuyang, who is challenging her first fixed variety show appearance through the new show 'Where Will It Bounce?' shared her thoughts and determination.
Scheduled to air for the first time on the 21st, the new variety show 'Where Will It Bounce?' (hereafter referred to as 'WBB') is co-produced by ENA, NXT, and Comedy TV. It is a relay variety show that finds truly popular restaurants recommended by top restaurant owners, without any prepared list or pre-planned route, and featuring members such as Kim Dae-ho, Ahn Jae-hyun, Tzuyang, and Jonathan, generating excitement.
Among them, popular YouTuber Tzuyang, who boasts 12.4 million subscribers, is drawing attention as she takes on her first fixed variety show. On the 2nd, Tzuyang shared the reason she chose 'WBB' for her first fixed variety appearance during a written interview, attracting interest. Tzuyang revealed, "I had not done variety shows due to the pressure of needing to speak well and the fear of being a burden. However, the production team for 'WBB' encouraged me by saying, 'It's okay if you're not funny,' which gave me a lot of strength to decide to participate." She added, "Since this is my first time as a fixed member, I feel very nervous and realize I have many shortcomings. Although I don't excel at anything other than eating well, I worked really hard because I hope you enjoy watching it," expressing her heartfelt feelings and raising expectations for the rookie Tzuyang's performance.
Tzuyang expressed her excitement about meeting her mukbang partners, Kim Dae-ho, Ahn Jae-hyun, and Jonathan. She said, "I've been doing personal broadcasts alone for seven years, so I'm used to eating alone and feel comfortable doing it, but sometimes I felt lonely." She continued, "During 'WBB,' the members made me feel comfortable during filming, so I forgot my worries and laughed happily. I especially enjoy talking about food with everyone," conveying the joy of being together and creating a warm atmosphere.
Additionally, she revealed, "At first, I myself wondered, 'What kind of combination will these four be?' However, upon meeting them, I found that everyone is genuine about taste and shares a love for food." She added, "Kim Dae-ho is very knowledgeable about everything and I respect how much he shares. Ahn Jae-hyun has a rich expression of taste and shows a lot of consideration, so I have been learning a lot even outside the filming set. Jonathan is a mood-maker who keeps everyone laughing even during long filming hours, which made filming comfortable for me. They are all very charming people," heightened expectations for the unique synergy the four will create.
Tzuyang also said, "When we talk among ourselves, it seems like we only discuss food," proudly showcasing the members' exceptional taste chemistry. Along with this, she chose Kim Dae-ho as the best gourmet among the members, stating, "I've always thought my passion for food was top-notch, but I realized Kim Dae-ho has a different depth. He possesses a lot of knowledge about the origins of dishes and cooking methods. Thanks to that, I am learning a lot," expressing her admiration and raising curiosity about Kim Dae-ho's skills that surprised Tzuyang.
In the meantime, Tzuyang once again showcased her status as a 'top tier' in the mukbang genre. 'Where Will It Bounce?' is structured so that the cast visits restaurants recommended on the spot by restaurant owners, exploring three restaurants a day. Tzuyang mentioned, "Although I do eat a lot, I wouldn't say I have a huge appetite; I thought I would be fine even with a limited amount. However, I can't shake the thought of wanting to eat more after going to such delicious restaurants," revealing unexpected difficulties. She also shared, "Since the amount of food I'm filming is less than usual, I pack snacks for the journey and always go out to eat after filming," revealing her unique eating scale. Furthermore, she expressed her ambition, saying, "If it's a truly delicious place, I think I could even go abroad," increasing interest in the top tier mukbang Tzuyang's performance that will unfold in 'WBB.'
Finally, she shared her viewing point for the first broadcast, stating, "The story is about finding the life restaurants of restaurant owners, and all the places we visited could be my life's favorites because they were all delicious. Moreover, the four food lovers gathered together have come up with many ways to enjoy food even more deliciously, and especially, I think the unpredictable situations of not knowing where we will go for our three meals a day will be captured entertainingly. As this is my first fixed variety appearance, I hope you enjoy watching it," greatly amplifying expectations for the upcoming first broadcast on the 21st at 7:50 p.m.
