Singer Kim Jaejoong and Wendy and Young K join as masters of "The Scout."
On the 28th, a press conference for ENA's new entertainment program "The Scout" was held at the Cube Convention Center in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.
"The Scout" spotlights the process of participants who have already once challenged their dreams or have honed their skills in their respective positions getting back on stage. As different genres and experiences come together, the harmony they create also promises a depth that sets it apart from existing auditions.
In particular, "The Scout" draws attention as a growth-oriented music project in which top experts in the music industry find raw gems whose talents have not been showcased, suggest new directions, and through a professional and systematic multi-care system, document the process of them being completed as global stars.
Kim Jaejoong said, "I'm having many new experiences while filming. It is, without a doubt, the most unique of the competition programs I've seen so far. I have never seen anything like it. In general competition programs, if you make a mistake or receive a poor evaluation from the producers or judges, you are eliminated with no chance, but most of the participants on 'The Scout' have experienced elimination and grow by receiving deeper opportunities and information that come from experience. I am also learning a lot."
Wendy said, "It's really different from other auditions. If you make sure to watch the first broadcast next week, you'll feel the difference from the very first episode. When I was a judge, I watched the stage, gave scores and feedback, but the important point of this program is helping the muses move forward with the dream of becoming singers and giving them direction. There are many people who don't know their direction, so we worry and keep in touch while sharing things that come from experience, and because I'm experiencing this process for the first time too, I think it's a program where we grow together."
Young K said, "I thought it would be good if I could offer advice because I have experience and know-how gained from debuting and walking this path. What makes it different is that it is a program that can focus on overall growth rather than picking and choosing someone. If every round's goal were winning and survival, the path would have been different, but what the muses need are fundamentals and a direction for growth. I feel this is a program that can be more helpful to the muses, so I am doing my best in my position."
ENA's growth-oriented music project "The Scout" will premiere on May 8 at 8 p.m.
