Zion.T joins “Mix Nine” as judge, “I want to help” (Official)
[헤럴드POP=장우영 기자] Zion.T is to join “Mix Nine” as judge.
In the afternoon of October 11, JTBC’s “Mix Nine” released a teaser video, announcing that Zion.T joined its all-star judge lineup following Big Bang’s Taeyang and CL.
In the video, Zion.T expresses his thoughts on and his sincere aspirations for joining “Mix Nine” as judge.
“To be honest, I was not a trainee before I became a singer, so I never experienced the painful training period and cannot relate to it,” he started, confessing that he wondered whether it was even right for him to judge the trainees.
Recalling the first time he met with the trainees, he followed, “So many were desperate and training in earnest. I would feel sorry if I have to eliminate them, so I hope everyone does well.”
To finish, he reflected, “The deep desire of idol trainees really makes me think about what kind of attitude I should have,” also conveying his heartfelt aspiration, “I dare not think that I am in a position to judge others. I just want to help them find their direction for the future.”
Since his debut in 2009, Zion.T revealed his unique color of music with numerous hit songs, such as “Yanghwa Bridge,” “Eat,” and “The Song,” earning nicknames like “Chart Gangster” and “Genius Musician.”
Furthermore, in Mnet’s “Show Me The Money 5” last year, he teamed up as producer with Kush, gaining tremendous popularity with the songs “Machine Gun” and “Koong,” while also demonstrating that his critiques were as unique as his marked individuality. In turn, many are already waiting to see him appear on “Mix Nine” as judge.
“Mix Nine” is the first variety show Producer HAN Dong Cheol will be broadcasting after he moved to work with YG Entertainment. The producer is known for planning out a number of music survival programs, including “Produce 101” and “Show Me The Money 6.”
“Mix Nine” is a reality competition show for finding new stars out of the 400-plus trainees that YG’s head producer, Yang Hyun Suk, personally selected from 75 different entertainment agencies traveling all around Korea. The program is to be aired at 4:50 p.m. starting October 29.
