There is a lot of interest in the reunion between PD Kim Tae-ho, who is considered the 'Midas Hand of the Entertainment Industry', and top star G-Dragon (GD·Kwon Ji-yong). PD Kim Tae-ho recently began full-scale entertainment production with G-Dragon. Specific details about the program, which is still shrouded in mystery, are expected to be revealed as early as next week.
According to broadcasting sources on the 12th, PD Kim Tae-ho is currently filming a new entertainment show with G-Dragon, aiming for a launch next year. The tentative titles of the program are 'GD and Friends' and 'Good Day'. It seems that celebrities who are close friends with G-Dragon or have a special relationship with him will appear. PD Kim Tae-ho told Star News on this day, "The title has not been decided," and "It is difficult to tell you because we still need to set it up a bit more and there is uncertainty. When the final arrangement is made next week, we will deliver the information all at once so that there is no confusion." He added, "We need to take our time to organize it so that it will proceed in line with the overall planning intention."
G-Dragon appeared on MBC's entertainment program 'Infinite Challenge' directed by PD Kim Tae-ho in the past, and created synergy with the existing cast. In particular, many fans were looking forward to the reunion of G-Dragon and Jung Hyung-don, who showed extraordinary chemistry during the 'Infinite Challenge' music festival special in 2013. Since then, the two have been gathering attention as they are said to be reuniting after 12 years through PD Kim Tae-ho's entertainment program. In addition, close friend Jo Se-ho has received an offer to appear and is positively reviewing it. PD Kim Tae-ho said, "I think it would be better to first tell you what the program format is so that you understand better," and "We are doing something we have never done before, so I cannot give you a definite answer right now."
There is also a high possibility that Big Bang members Taeyang and Daesung will appear. G-Dragon is the leader of Big Bang. On the 23rd of last month, Taeyang and Daesung showed their strong loyalty by supporting G-Dragon's new song stage at the '2024 MAMA AWARDS' (hereafter referred to as 'MAMA') music awards ceremony held at Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan. PD Kim Tae-ho said that he filmed the Big Bang members' 'MAMA' practice scene, saying, "I went to the practice room and sketched it, but depending on the program composition, (the filming) may or may not be included. It's difficult to confirm the timing." PD Kim Tae-ho's new entertainment show is in positive discussions for MBC programming. PD Kim Tae-ho joined MBC in 2001 and became known by directing the signature entertainment show 'Infinite Challenge'. Starting with 'Reckless Challenge' in 2005, he received national love until it ended with 'Infinite Challenge' in 2018. PD Kim Tae-ho left MBC in December 2021 and founded the content production company TEO, and has since presented various entertainment programs such as 'Seoul Check-In', 'World Tour of Earth', 'Dance Singer Troupe', 'Salon Drip', and 'My Name is Gabriel'.
