TV Show: Two Yoo Project Sugar Man (2015-ongoing)
This show is hosted by Yoo Jae Suk, the nation's MC and also Yoo Hee Yeol, a famous musician who also the CEO of Antenna Music. There are another 2 co-hosts, Sandara Park of 2NE1 and Kim Ina, a famous lyricist.
To make it more fun, competition is made. The hosts are divided into 2 teams, Jae Suk team and Hee Yeol team. Each team's gonna call their own Sugar Man, Show Man, and chosen producer. The performances of the Show Man that are gonna compete with each other. The audiences who come to the studio have to choose which team performance they like. The audiences are divided into age group - the 10s, the 20s, the 30s and the 40s. The points the team gets from each age group will be accumulated to see who's the winner. Since each age group has their own taste of music, in each episode they can give you an unexpected twist. A lot of point reversal happens.
Comment:
Again, for no reason, I just feel like I wanna watch this show. Maybe seeing Jae Suk and Dara in the show's poster on some website makes me interested. And it's actually a fun show.
Not so many episode has been aired since it just started, but so far all the Sugar Man, Show Man and producers who came all are fun to watch. And all those Sugar Songs are beautifully remade. The performance Show Man gives is also cool and awesome. Both main MCs' chemistry is insanely crazy. They make the show even more fun. Quirky behavior (and also beauty) of Dara and Ina also adds to the fun.
Salute to the PD and the writer who has the idea of making this kinda show. I think this show is so good. Not only can be a show where you can feel nostalgic but can also be a place to introduce an old song to the newest generation. Sometimes, I have to say, not all the remake songs in this show are good. Sometimes they're just okay - the original song is better. But that's fine. At least that song can wake up from the grave and can make the original singer gets another recognition from the public. A lot of Sugar Man that came to the show actually still wanted to have a music career, but the opportunity was gone along with their faded fame.
M favorite Show Man so far are Kim Bum Soo, Kim Tae Woo, Gummy, Jung Joon Young, Younha, Son Seung Yeon, Lyn, Lena Park, Lee Young Hyun, and K.Will. I personally don't really like the new singer or idol group who become Show Man. I personally think some of them just come for promotion. Well, not all the new singers/idols are bad, but the Show Man who are great are the senior singers.
My favorite producers will be Don Spike, Philtre, Joker, Shin Ji Ho, dan Black Eyed Pilseung. Not only they are successfully remaking the song but their personality and behavior in front of the camera also make the show funnier and quirkier.
Ps: She still gives me goosebumps
[UPDATE]:
As per July 2016, the show had its last episode with a total of 39 episodes that had been aired. I hope one day they will come back again.
