PD Kim Tae Ho finally addressed the challenges faced by Good Day and My Name is Gabriel, while also raising expectations for his new variety show, The Game of Blood: World Travel 3 (Jigumabul 3).
On March 20, a press conference was held at S-City in Sangam DMC, Seoul, for ENA’s upcoming variety show. During the event, Kim Tae Ho was asked about the underwhelming performance of his previous projects.
Instead of avoiding the topic, he responded with confidence, saying, "I was waiting for that question."
He then explained, "Gabriel was always designed for global format sales, and we secured profits beyond production costs before filming even began. We’re still in talks with multiple companies about the format, and I was happy to work on a project with a meaningful message."
As for Good Day, he shared, "I wish there were more music variety shows with different formats, but our main focus was to show how music is created. Unfortunately, since the songs were released later than expected, we couldn’t showcase as much as we wanted."
Despite the struggles, he added, "I was told that Good Day had strong 2049 viewership ratings and ranked No.1 in several countries. Disney also confirmed that it performed well domestically. There’s still more to come, so please stay tuned."
Meanwhile, Jigumabul 3 will feature top travel creators Pani Bottle, Wonji, and Kwak Tube going on a world tour, playing a Monopoly-style dice game that determines their fate. The first episode is set to air on March 22 at 7:50 PM KST.
