The new variety show "Where It Will Bounce" features Ahn Jae-hyun, who is promising a transformation into the next generation's mukbang star.
Produced jointly by ENA, NXT, and Comedy TV, the new variety show "Where It Will Bounce" (hereafter referred to as "WIB") is a relay variety show that seeks out 100% reliable authentic restaurants recommended directly by the best restaurant owners, without a pre-planned list or predefined course. The members who will join the unpredictable restaurant tour are Kim Dae-ho, Ahn Jae-hyun, Tzuyang, and Jonathan, raising expectations.
Among them, Ahn Jae-hyun's declaration of a return as a new variety character catches attention. Regarding his joining "WIB," Ahn Jae-hyun said, "I have shown cooking and eating through various variety shows, but this time I thought I could show a different side by directly introducing restaurants, so I decided to participate," and added, "If I were to express my special resolve, it would be, 'I will run to any restaurant' and 'I will show that I eat deliciously rather than eat a lot.'" Along with this, he revealed how his situation has changed 180 degrees from being a prominent newcomer in the entertainment industry, piquing interest. Ahn Jae-hyun noted, "I used to eat less, but at some point, I experienced 'food explosion.' Due to changes in my filming and lifestyle patterns, my appetite has also changed. These days, my body has grown, and it makes me happy that those around me say I look good, so I am happily exercising and eating well," increasing anticipation for Ahn Jae-hyun's unique appearance optimized for mukbang shows.
Meanwhile, Ahn Jae-hyun recalls his unique first meeting with Kim Dae-ho, Tzuyang, and Jonathan, drawing attention. Ahn Jae-hyun said, "They are fun and warm people, so we quickly became close from the first meeting. Dae-ho is dependable and full of knowledge and wit, while Jonathan has good positive energy and quick wit. Our different charms blended well together to create good chemistry. The atmosphere on set is always filled with laughter," showcasing the chemistry of the 'WIB four.' In particular, Ahn Jae-hyun shares a surprising anecdote about his first meeting with Tzuyang, attracting attention. Ahn Jae-hyun stated, "Just sitting at the same table as Tzuyang was a huge experience. She definitely eats as well as I expected," and expressed his determination not to lose his own "eating pride," pledging to show that he can eat deliciously, stimulating curiosity about their mukbang synergy.
Ahn Jae-hyun has increased curiosity by revealing behind-the-scenes footage of unpredictable situations occurring during filming. He stated, "Since there are many impromptu castings, variables always arise. If the location is limited, only the cast might enter and film. The production team also faces unexpected situations, so everyone enjoys with laughter. This is the charm unique to 'WIB,'" he emphasized. Ahn Jae-hyun added, "I can willingly go anywhere if it's a life restaurant that others say is delicious. Especially when I'm with good people, distance and time are no issue," raising interest in the spontaneous relay of 'WIB' that will traverse the country.
"Through 'WIB,' I want to earn the title of 'the standard for mukbang' and if I may be greedy, the title of 'a mukbang star you can trust and watch,'" Ahn Jae-hyun shared his hopes and expressed excitement for the upcoming first broadcast, stating, "I hope you look forward to whether the relay of restaurant discoveries can continue in unpredictable situations, where the next destination will be, how the castings will go, and the genuine laughter and chemistry that arise from all these results, along with various foods through life restaurants. Above all, I plan to be a comfortable dining companion who can provide surrogate satisfaction while you watch, so please give us a lot of interest." He raised anticipation for the first broadcast of 'WIB' that will open a new world of restaurant tours.
Meanwhile, the joint production of ENA, NXT, and Comedy TV's restaurant relay "Where It Will Bounce" will premiere on the evening of the 21st at 7:50 p.m.
