Na Yeong Seok (often known as Na PD or PD Na) is without doubt one of the most profitable selection present producers in South Korea. He’s the person behind legendary exhibits equivalent to 2 Days & 1 Night, New Journey to the West, Grandpas Over Flowers, and extra.

One of his most up-to-date applications was Jinny’s Kitchen (2023) which aired on tvN. It was a actuality cooking present that adopted the forged as they launched Korean road meals in a small city in Mexico.

It was the type of present that was calming quite than thrilling to look at. He had excessive expectations of it as he talked about in an interview with Weverse Magazine. One motive for this was the forged members. They already had a excessive profile lineup—Park Seo Joon, Lee Seo Jin, Jung Yu Mi, Lee Won Il, and Park Woo Shik—however additionally they had a licensed buzz-maker: BTS’s V.

Na PD had excessive expectations of the Okay-Pop idol. He was nicely conscious of the type of consideration he might convey to the present particularly contemplating that he hardly ever seems in selection exhibits outdoors of HYBE’s personal.

We additionally had Taehyung, who I assumed was an enormous card. We had a stellar forged and a program that we knew labored so we thought that it needed to succeed.

When planning out the present, he thought of V’s relationship along with his buddy, actor Choi Woo Sik, to be one other massive draw.

It was the primary time Taehyung and Woo Shik went overseas collectively, and we anticipated that the chemistry from their friendship might contribute to the present as nicely.

Unfortunately, Na PD was not happy with the success stage of the present. He didn’t blame the forged in any respect. Rather, he realized that the competitors for “healing shows” has turn out to be increased than ever.

But what I used to be mistaken was that this program was not the one considered one of its variety, with none competitors…I assumed we might make one thing distinctive.

The format of the present was its downfall in the long run. It “disheartened” Na PD to be receiving criticism for one thing he was happy with, but he was additionally grateful for the optimistic responses he obtained from different viewers.

The response was optimistic, too. It’s actually exhausting to get that form of score today. But I used to be criticized for repeating the identical format, and I understood the place they had been coming from, so I used to be a bit disheartened.
