On the afternoon of March 9th, at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, the production presentation of ENA's 'HMLYCP'' was held. On this day, Hyeri, Miyeon, Rijeong, Yena, Chaewon, Patricia, PD Taekyung Lee, and PD Kim Jong Moo attended.
PD Kim Jong-moo said, “When I think of ENA dramas, ‘Woo Young Woo’ comes to mind, but when I think of ENA entertainment, what I think of is ‘'HMLYCP'.”
Producer Lee Tae Kyung said, “It is a variety and reality show that decorates an empty house through complicated household chores and mission quests. I didn't have grandiose planning intentions, and I thought I wanted to make a pleasant program for weekends. That's why people here have gone through a rough journey."
The production of this program started with Hyeri. Hyeri said, “I came to do it out of the blue,” and she said, “Because I have a close relationship with PD Lee Tae Kyung, we often had conversations asking about the current situation. We went to eat giblets, one of my favorite foods. It was delicious, so I ate it while standing in line. I did that, but he asked if there was anything I wanted to eat there, he showed a different appearance than usual. I went just over to the giblets,” he trembled. Hyeri added, “I think I ate three meals by myself.”
Producer Lee Tae Kyeong said, “I approached her strategically,” saying, “I met with another PD who does Escape Rooms as a hobby and thought, ‘Let’s talk today. Just to check only the temperature, but she says “Lets talk“, and I express my gratitude.
On the other hand, Miyeon showed off her eccentric charm. She said, “I thought it was an audition,” and “I didn’t know that I was being invited“, and after talking with the PD she “eagerly auditioned and waited for the results“.
Producer Lee Tae Kyung asked Hyeri to cast for other cast members saying “Hyeri said that she would like to do it with people younger than her, through YouTube and various contents on other programs i knew them” ”we gathered those who are attractive and want to know more,”
Also explained, “ we focus on the relationships formed by the people with various personalities and characters in various ways, we recruit them with a lot of expectations predicting what kind of chemistry Hyeri could show.” .
Hyeri, who plays an active role as the oldest through this program, said, “I was always the youngest. Always was the youngest on the team, and was the youngest when I was in a drama or variety show. So it was comfortable to gradually go to a point where I got older. There was a point where I felt more comfortable being the oldest than the youngest, so I don’t think there was anything difficult about it, and it was nice to be able to treat people comfortably.”
PD Kim Jong Moo said that the difference between 'HMLYCP' is the chemistry of the members, saying, "The charm of the 6 members is varied and different. Even through internal previews, there were reactions to whether this performer had this charm. Also raised her expectations, saying, “The chemistry and fun that I have was never seen on any broadcast.”
Hyeri also raised her expectations for her members. Hyeri said, “I saw the members for the first time through this program. In the first recording I thought, ‘We make it’. ‘They are really charming friends, so I want to quickly show them on air. I'm looking forward to seeing a side that is really different from the side viewers see".
Miyeon said, "First of all, all six of them are so kind. Although they have different personalities, I thought they would be very different, but there are many similarities, so I was hungry, wanted to play games, and wanted to dance at the same time, so it was amazing.”
Yena says “I just imagined it, but there were many moments where I was surprised by ‘I alway was like this? I felt shocked when I watched the show that I was speechless. She also said, “Miyeon was the most shocking. We performed together one time, but we weren't close at the time, but she had so many charms that I thought of her before going to bed and laughed.”
Chaewon, the only I in the MBTI E members, said, “I am also a person who has tension on the team, but I was surprised that I had never seen such tension, and I was excited, but it was fun watching it.”
PD Kim Jong Moo said, “I think there is 6 different charms of 6 global stars coming together,” and as 'HMLYCP' ’, a bigger charm and fun comes out” as the viewing point, and PD Lee Tae Kyung said, “I am working hard to make it enjoyable to watch on the weekend. We make it heavy, but I hope you look at it lightly.”
'HMLYCP' ’ is a complicated housekeeping of 6 persons struggling to settle down comfortably in a remote mountain village. It will be broadcast for the first time at 7:50 pm on the 12th.
