Kang Ho-dong, male, born in 1970, from Jinzhou, Gyeongsang-nan Province, variety show host, funny artist, wrestler.

The process of Jiang Hudong's transfer from a wrestler to a host cannot be regarded as very exciting, but it is also quite legendary. As a wrestler who has won the "Wild Warrior" five times and the "White-Head Warrior" seven times, it seems that his second spring has burst into existence in the variety show industry.

From "The Fun of Super Sunday TV" hosted in 1998 to "Born Destiny" in 2002, to "X-man", "Night Heart" and "Artist Seller Village" in 2003, Jiang Hudong can be said to have occupied all the time periods of the audience's TV.

In the 678 Barbecue Shop, Kang Ho-dong No. 2 Myeongdong store, in the private room, Jung Hyukjae and Kang Ho-dong sat face to face. Kang Ho-dong occasionally picked out a few slices of meat from the plate and cut it into strips with scissors, and placed it on the barbecue rack.

"Oh, you're not just trying to have a meal today!" Jiang Hudong looked at Zheng Hyukjae, who was full of oil. This child hadn't eaten meat for many days, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

When Jung Hyukjae heard his words, he pulled out a tissue and wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth. Then he revealed his purpose this time, "Brother, I'll have good news to tell you this time!"

Jiang Hudong shrugged disapprovingly, and while applying sauce to the barbecue, he asked, "Tell me, what good news is?"

Jung Hyukjae looked at this brother helplessly. Could it be that what he said was so unreliable?

"Brother, is it important to be good news or barbecue?"

When Kang Ho-dong heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Jung Hyukjae, "Oh, of course, barbecue is more important. Listen to the sound of Zizi on the barbecue rack, don't you think this is the most wonderful music in the world?"

Jung Hyukjae was speechless, "This good news is related to you, brother. If you don't want to listen, I will go to Brother Jae-shi!"

"Well?"

....................................................

An hour later, Jiang Hudong put down the thick settings and planning book in his hand and fell into deep thought. Jung Hyukjae was not anxious, and dipped in the sauce and eating barbecue seemed extremely leisurely.

"Ho Jae, I'll go out and make a phone call and I'll be back in a while!" Jiang Hudong came to his senses and explained, picked up the cell phone on the table and went out.

Seeing him walking out, Jung Hyukjae touched his smooth chin helplessly and thought to himself: Should he have grown up a beard? Sure enough, everyone thinks it’s “no hair on his mouth and can’t do things safely”?

While thinking about this, Jung Hyukjae reached out to sort out the plan book on the table and put it aside to prevent the oil stains on the barbecue rack from staining on it. The words "Love Letter" on the homepage were particularly eye-catching.

This is the good news he brought to Kang Ho-dong this time, a special variety show - "Love Letter"!

When talking about "Love Letter", perhaps the first thing most people think of is the short story "Love Letter" written by Shunji Iwai, or the movie adapted by him.

If Japan's "Love Letter" is about reminiscence and sentimental love, then South Korea's "Love Letter" is accompanied by joy and laughter, which are completely different.

In the history of Korean variety shows, "Love Letter" has its own unique status. Although it only lasted for three years from the start to the suspension, it is known as "Dae Jang Geum" in variety shows.

There are two main aspects of Korean pop popularity, one is TV series, such as "Blue Life and Death"; the other is variety shows, among which "X-man" and "Love Letter" take the lead in charge.

"Love Letter" belongs to a star speed program. Under the command of MC, male guests show their charm to female guests, and finally win the heroine's heart through dancing, games and other aspects. The content of "Love Letter" is positive and healthy, and does not talk about scandals or erotic sluts. It uses game competition to allow guests participating in the program to truly engage in it to show their humorous side.

The success of "Love Letter" in the previous life is inseparable from the participation of the "Myth" group. You should know that even the "Myth" group, which debuted for 17 years in 2015, has indeed become a myth. It not only breaks the 5-year spell of the group, the military service spell, and the spell that will be divided after a long time, but also leaves many magical legends, and fans still have extremely powerful cohesion.

In 2004, in his previous life, SBS tailored the variety show "Love Letter" for it because of the 7th volume of the Mythology Group and for the promotion of the 7th volume.

The first season of "Love Letter" can also be called "Mythical Season". Mythical members participated in a total of 7 episodes of the show. It was these 7 episodes full of highlights and funny stories that laid a solid foundation for "Love Letter" to become a Korean ace entertainment program in more than two years.

In the setting of the program plan, Eric's romance, Shin Hye-sung's gentleman, Kim Dong-man's humor, Lee Min-woo's dance, JUNJIN's art, Andy's cuteness, and the six-person and colorful personality are all excellently interpreted in the program. It can be said that the cooperation between "Love Letter" and Myth is a win-win cooperation.

For myth, in such a program that emphasizes personal charm, it is also a good stage to show themselves through various ways. It not only attracted many new fans back then, but also with the introduction and broadcast of "Love Letter" abroad, it has further boosted the popularity of myth and increased their reputation overseas.

A few days ago, Jung Hyukjae called GoodEntertainment. Because Myth is about to release its own seven-part series, it returned to the song world. GoodEntertainment attaches great importance to this cooperation with SBS TV station, and the company's president even called to invite Jung Hyukjae to have a meal together.

As early as May 1, 2003, as the Myth of ** and the contract expired, could not reach a fair agreement that both parties could accept, Myth refused to renew the contract with **. After the contract expired on the 8th, it completely ended its five-year contract with **. In June of the same year, Myth switched to GOODENTERTAINMENT to start a new acting career.

In addition to the six people collectively changing jobs, they also successfully used the right to use the name Myth, the right to use the name "Myth", the right to use the stage name of the member, the right to use the fan organization "Myth Creation (the official organization of the myth fan that started by the company)" and the right to use the song.

Speaking of the major earthquake in the Korean variety show industry in 2003, the new owner of "Myth" will definitely be on the list. The first and only example of an idol group that successfully escaped from ** and was able to remain intact. It was just a collective departure, which shocked the entire Korean entertainment industry back then.

The new owner GoodEntertainment was founded by a former director of S.M. As the new owner who took over "Myth", he naturally wanted to try his best to preserve the money tree of "Myth" and create more wealth for him.

It took about ten minutes for Jiang Hudong to put away the phone and walked in. His face felt relaxed. Seeing Jung Hyukjae looking at him and even waved his hand.

Back in the seat and sat down, Kang Ho-dong stared at Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him with emotion, and said, "Hyuk-jae, I thought you were just a joke before, but I didn't expect to give me such a big surprise so soon!"

Just after he went out, Kang Ho-dong called his agent and talked about the program plan of the new variety show he saw. His agent on the phone was even more amazed, and even said that this was definitely a new variety show with high ratings. When asked about the PD of the show, the 24-year-old Jung Hyukjae was even more shocked, especially when he heard that he was also the director and screenwriter of "Weekend Reversal Drama". The agent clearly stated that Kang Ho-dong would take over the new variety show.

Jung Hyukjae stopped the chopsticks in his hand and put them aside, "So brother is going to be ready for the next step?"

Kang Ho-dong nodded and shook his head, looking at the youthful and energetic Jung Hyukjae in front of him and sighed: "If you didn't know, anyone would think you are an artist when you walk on the street. How can you have a program PD as young as you!"

"Isn't this happening now?" Jung Hyukjae smiled.

When talking about the new variety show "Love Letter", it was not Jung Hyuk-jae's whim, but was made under the threat of Choi Ji-hye from the variety show. You should know that he was just about to take over the moon-hot drama of SBS TV in November. Logically speaking, he didn't have time to prepare for the new variety show, and he was running on both sides and served as the general PD.

Fortunately, variety shows are not filmed and broadcast like TV series. In addition to the long time it takes for the preliminary preparation, if the time and the itinerary of the participating artists allow, Jung Hyukjae can even record three episodes of the program in one day.

The two of them were having a meal and chatting with each other according to the detailed plan of "Love Letter", and time passed quickly. More than twenty minutes later, Kang Ho-dong's agent arrived here. With Kang Ho-dong's recommendation, Jung Hyuk-jae had a preliminary understanding with him.

"Ho Jae, this is my agent, Quan Shusheng!"

A young man in his twenties can't tell the specific age, and his appearance is not bad. His soft hair is flattering over his eyebrows and eyes, which looks a little pretty, but he is still a little deficient than himself. Jung Hyukjae said a little stinky in his heart.

"Hello!"

"Hello, Jung Hyuk-jae xi!"

Because of the middleman Jiang Hudong, the conversation between the two sides is not very embarrassing, after all, what they talk about is serious.

"Jung Hyuk-jaexi, what are your expected ratings for the new variety show "Love Letter"?"

"More than 25%!" Faced with Quan Shusheng's question, Zheng Hezai answered without hesitation.

Hearing his answer, Quan Shusheng couldn't help but take a breath. This is too sarcastic, right? Although he had a rough impression in his heart when he heard Jiang Hudong's introduction to the new variety show on the phone, he didn't dare to think about the ratings of more than 25%.

For a moment, the three of them fell into silence. After a while, Quan Shusheng raised his head and said, "We've taken the variety show!"
