SEOUL, August 31 (Yonhap) -- JTBS's new program "The Second World," where rappers from girl groups compete, aired its first episode on August 30.
Kim Hyung-joon the chief producer of this program, said during the online production presentation, held on August 30 before the broadcast, "There is a stereotype about girl group members, but the eight members in this program have nearly perfect skills." he added "The members have limited parts and images shown inside their groups, but they have desires and skills as much as solo artists."
Moreover, he said, "Our responsibility is just giving them space to show off their skills." and explained his plan.
Girl group rappers, including Yubin from Wonder Girls, Shin Ji-min from AOA, Moonbyul from MAMAMOO, Mimi from OHMYGIRL, Exy from Cosmic Girls, Jooe from MOMOLAND, Moon Sua from Billy, and Seonyou from CLASS:y were featured yesterday.
Singer Kim Beom-soo, Jung-yeop, Jung Eun-ji, Seo Eun-kwang, and Kim Min-seok starred as the "Voice Leaders," the judges, and it was hosted by Paul Kim.
"I'm ashamed of myself," Kim Min-seok admitted, "but I realized after watching the members perform that I, too, had stereotypes about girl group members." He added, "They were much better than my expectations and professional, which made me feel embarrassed."
