Musicians Hitchhiker and Jin Choi will step in as co-hosts of HYBE’s video podcast. As a father-daughter pair, they plan to highlight music from different generational perspectives, share new inspiration, and build common ground.

On the 10th, HYBE announced the launch of the new program by releasing the teaser for ‘Music Intervention’ on its Spotify channel STAN:A (“Stan-A”). As the second podcast in STAN:A’s lineup, ‘Music Intervention’ will premiere at 6 p.m. on the 24th and will be released every other week thereafter.

‘Music Intervention’ is a music commentary program co-hosted by music producer Hitchhiker and singer-songwriter Jin Choi, a father-daughter duo. Starting from the shift in perspective that the music in our daily lives ‘intervenes’ in our every moment, it was conceived to understand everything about music that has become part of our lives.

Each episode unpacks music from multiple angles through conversations with people from various fields around a music-related theme. The program will also broadly encompass the social phenomena and cultural trends that music creates. In the first episode, Yoon-a and Min-ju of the group ILLIT will appear to discuss how today’s generation consumes music.

The teaser for ‘Music Intervention’ is a vlog produced by Jin Choi, focusing on the narrative of the father-daughter hosts. The video is composed of photos and clips of everyday life with her father, Hitchhiker, from Jin Choi’s childhood to the present. Hitchhiker and Jin Choi dance together, take selfies, and play pranks, showing how they spend time comfortably like friends. At the same time, it captures how Jin Choi, who has come and gone between Hitchhiker’s performance venues and studio as if they were playgrounds, naturally encountered various instruments such as keyboard, drums, and guitar, and connected through music.

Jin Choi, who produced the video, says in the narration, “We are doing this podcast because we love music,” adding, “I’m happy that I can talk about music with my best friend, my father.” Having communicated through music for a long time, the two are expected to showcase a special chemistry that spans generations as hosts of ‘Music Intervention’.

HYBE Media Studio said, “With the musical expertise of the two hosts combined with the fresh perspectives of guests from diverse fields, it will be a commentary program that sheds new, expanded light on music,” adding, “People from unexpected domains will appear to view music from a different angle, and in the process we will provide experiences that allow new meanings and charms to be discovered.”

Hitchhiker, who serves as a program host, worked as a producer and member of the band Rollercoaster and, as a K-pop producer, helped create numerous hits including BoA’s “GAME,” Girls’ Generation’s “Show! Show! Show!,” f(x)’s “Pinocchio,” and Brown Eyed Girls’ “Abracadabra.” He is currently active as a producer under HYBE. Co-host Jin Choi is an emerging singer-songwriter who, in 2024 at age 15, released her debut album “mom!!iminlove,” for which she wrote and composed every track herself, and has continued her musical activities.

HYBE Media Studio, which operates the video podcast channel STAN:A, plans to continue presenting podcast programs on diverse topics following the mystery thriller “Blood Diary” and the music commentary “Music Intervention.”
