JTBC's Five Cranky Brothers Returns With Lee Jin-Hyuk
At the Grand Ballroom of the Stanford Hotel in Sangam-dong Mapo-gu Seoul, on the 30th of October, JTBC's new entertainment program "Five Cranky Brothers" was introduced. Park Joon-hyung, Seo Jang-hoon, Kim Jong-kook, Lee Jin-hyuk and Yoo Hwan-ho attended.
"Five Cranky Brothers" is a talk show that discusses everything from ordinary life topics to tricky and unusual topics. On its 1st broadcast, guest MC Min Kyung-hoon had a hot line talk with Park Joon-hyung, Seo Jang-hoon, Kim Jong-kook, and Lee Jin-hyuk.
Their program director Yu Yu-hwan said, "From the planning stage, Gokpak means difficult and weird. I contacted you with the idea of a show wherein you can both play and talk to your friends."
He additionally said, "As the members of the show changed, I was looking for a member who can represent the youth and that's why I contacted the rising star Lee Jin-hyuk."
This makes Lee Jin-hyuk the only 20-year-old member among the cast of 40s. However Jin-hyul said, "I don't care about my age. I think the viewers will also love the 5 weird brothers."
The title of the program is "Five Cranky Brothers" or "Five Brothers", but unlike the pilot episode, there are four fixed members. In the first broadcast, Min Kyung-hoon participated as a guest MC and completed the five brothers. In response to this, program director Yu-hwan said, "I am the 5th brother and have kept four people since the pilot. I am going to put members with various personalities with the intention of showing the brothers' diverse sides."
"I think the first episode will be done by Min Kyung-hoon and the other brothers will make it as the article is published. I will not maintain the guest MC system, but if a fixed fourth occurs, I will release it in a timely manner."
When asked about what is the point of watching the program? He answered, "I'm trying to build a good response from the pilot. I'm using the concept of lining up and talking comfortably with friends and attracting people from the Internet community."
In addition, Kim Jong-kook said, "While standing in line together, it would be nice to share opinions with family and friends."
Meanwhile, JTBC's "Five Cranky Brothers" will air on November 31st at 11 pm KST.
