NHK’s secret plan to carry “BTS” to the Kohaku Uta Gassen at any cost
Guessing “BTS” to restart: ……
NHK aired the complete version of “Venue101 Presents JIN SPECIAL,” a special program featuring JIN (32), a member of the globally popular seven-member Korean dance and vocal group “BTS,” on February 15 on General TV.
Venue101″ is a special program on the theme of “Saturday at 23:00, a live performance is born. The program is a weekly music program that delivers high-energy live performances produced by artists from NHK’s 101 studios under the theme “Saturday 23:00, Live is Born. The program is a “complete version” of the December 7 broadcast plus 10 minutes of unaired material, including three rare performances of songs from JIN’s first solo album released on November 15 last year. In addition, JIN answered questions from fans in advance, and the 40-minute program was a great opportunity to enjoy his charms.
All the members of BTS will finish their military service this year and will restart as a group,” said JIN. Last year’s New Year’s Eve “Kohaku Uta Gassen” was a great success with the first appearance of “B’z” as the main attraction, and we are aiming at the re-starting BTS as the first candidate for this year’s main attraction. For this reason, they have been working from the early stage and have decided to broadcast a special program of JIN, who started his career as a solo artist.
(A music industry insider) “At last year’s Kohaku, the discovery of HYBE, a major Korean music company to which BTS belongs, was also made.
As of last year, the most popular artist under HYBE in Japan was NewJeans (now NJZ), but there was an uproar when the producer Min Hee Jin (46), who is said to be the “creator” of the group, was dismissed from HYBE. The members supported Mr. Min. The members supported Mr. Min, and NewJeans did not participate in Kohaku two years in a row, as they did in 2011.
On the other hand, LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT, which are already popular in Japan under the umbrella of HYBE, and TOMORROW X TOGETHER, which is now on the market, participated in the competition, thus strengthening the relationship with HYBE.
