The Dawn of a Choreography Philosophy Debate: JYP vs. Na PD
The second episode of tvN's entertainment show 'Business Trip Fifteen Nights X JYP Scout,' aired on October 29th, featured a hilarious debate between Park Jin-young and Na Young-seok PD about 'What is dance?' Their back-and-forth, straddling the line between entertainment and art, resembled a philosophical debate in the realm of variety shows.
Park Jin-young was well aware of the program's pattern. He confidently predicted, "It's about time for a choreography game," but Na Young-seok PD unexpectedly presented the 'Strawberry Banana Apple Game'.
In response, Park Jin-young firmly retorted, "Wait a minute, this is choreography. How can it not be choreography?"
Na Young-seok PD defined choreography as "dance that accompanies a song," but Park Jin-young immediately countered, "If there's movement to the sound of strawberry, banana, and apple, that's choreography." He interpreted even a game in a variety show as a 'performance'.
Na Young-seok PD questioned, "Isn't that just matching movements, not dance?" Park Jin-young delivered the decisive blow with a smile: "You really don't know dance."
The set erupted in laughter, and Nayeon, who was watching from the side, raised Park Jin-young's hand, saying, "This is art." Haewon chimed in, "This is valuable popular culture art," further enlivening the atmosphere.
Park Jin-young, a producer who transcends the worlds of entertainment and music, even analyzed Na Young-seok PD's directing patterns. He asserted, "I've been in broadcasting for 30 years, and it doesn't make sense to exclude choreography here." He argued, "Na PD's entertainment shows are incomplete without dance."
He also added, "I've watched 'Earth Arcade' too," professing to be an avid viewer of Na PD's shows. When Na PD looked flustered, Park Jin-young provoked laughter by saying, "You can't suddenly take it out now." To Park Jin-young, entertainment wasn't just a simple game but 'entertainment art' itself.
The debate eventually led to a bet. Park Jin-young fueled the competitive spirit, saying, "If it's a choreography game, add 500ml of soda; if not, take away 500ml." However, Na PD stubbornly insisted, "This isn't a choreography game; it's a movement game."
In the end, Na PD smiled and acknowledged Park Jin-young's artistic interpretation, saying, "There's some truth to Park Jin-young's argument." The 'Strawberry Banana Apple Choreography Debate,' with 500ml of soda on the line, became a memorable scene in the history of variety shows.
The broadcast was more than just a game show; it was a lighthearted exploration of the 'boundary between dance and entertainment.' As Park Jin-young said, "If there's rhythm in strawberry, banana, and apple, then it's choreography."
This combination of Na Young-seok PD's flexible acceptance and Park Jin-young's artistic obsession provided viewers with both laughter and food for thought. In the end, what matters isn't the definition but the enjoyment; that might be the real choreography of 'Na PD's entertainment shows.'
