It has already been 16 years since the disbandment of Seo Taiji and Boys.
Now, standing as a CEO of one of Korea’s leading entertainment agencies, Yang Hyun Suk, who has been actively judging on SBS‘ ‘K-Pop Star‘, will be appearing on his first live broadcast in 16 years. How does he feel? Osen was recently given the opportunity to have a brief phone conversation with the CEO.
“I’m probably more nervous right now than the top 10 finalists. Ever since the disbandment of Seo Taeji and Boys, I have rarely appeared on television. I’ve been so concentrated on the company to the point that I’ve even forgotten that I’m a celebrity myself,” Yang stated.
Despite Yang’s over-packed schedule, he has made room to prepare and do his upmost best for ‘K-pop Star’. While Big Bang will be busy for their first world tour coming up this weekend, CEO Yang will be making his first live appearance on broadcast in 16 years.
Meanwhile, with a high of 17% in viewer ratings, ‘K-Pop Star’ has been going up against popular programs such as KBS 2TV‘s ‘1 Night 2 Days‘ in terms of viewer ratings and interest.
Yang continued, “Not a lot of people recognized me with my hat on before I appeared on ‘K-Pop Star’ but now, it’s the total opposite. I have realized how temendously popular ‘K-Pop Star’ is and at the same time, I’ve once again realized that I’m too a celebrity,” he said with a laugh.
‘K-Pop Star’ will finally be airing its long-awaited first live broadcast on the 4th at 6pm KST with performances by the top 10 finalists.
