CNBLUE's Jung Yong-hwa Joins Mnet's Global Band Survival 'STEAL HEART CLUB' as Director

Mnet's upcoming global band-making survival show, 'STEAL HEART CLUB,' has officially kicked off its promotional activities by unveiling its main poster. The show is slated for its premiere on October 21st at 10 PM KST.

'STEAL HEART CLUB' will bring together individual participants from various instrumental positions—guitar, drums, bass, vocals, and keyboard—to compete for the ultimate goal of forming a 'Headliner Band.' The newly released main poster encapsulates the program's core concept and artistic direction, radiating raw, untamed energy coupled with a refreshing vibe, strongly embodying the 'youth band' theme.

The poster features a compelling tagline at the bottom: 'The LIVE musicians who will steal your heart are coming.' This promises a thrilling journey filled with passionate performances as contestants vie for a spot in the final band lineup. The show is expected to draw significant attention with its focus on the personal growth and musical authenticity of its participants.

Adding to the anticipation is the impressive lineup of four directors who will guide the contestants. The ensemble includes musical icon Jung Yong-hwa of CNBLUE, multi-talented musician Jang Won Lee, genre-bending singer-songwriter Sunwoo Jung-a, and vocalist Ha Sung-woon, known for his unique presence. Actress Moon Ga-young will also join as the 'Band Curator' and MC, rounding out the star-studded cast.

A representative from the production team stated, "We will showcase the participants' raw, unpolished energy as they grow into a representative band of this era, guided by Jung Yong-hwa, Lee Jang-won, Sunwoo Jung-a, and Ha Sung-woon." They further added, "We aim to deliver the excitement of live performances and the touching emotions of refreshing band sounds to our viewers."

Jung Yong-hwa, a prominent figure in the K-pop and K-rock scene, is best known as the leader, guitarist, and vocalist of the popular band CNBLUE. He has also established a successful solo career and contributed to numerous drama soundtracks with his songwriting and composing skills. His extensive experience in band formation and music production is anticipated to be a significant asset to the show.
