Her visit takes an unexpected turn when her enthusiasm and talent catch the attention of OME\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gangnam Project<\/em> deals with themes of identity, belonging, acceptance and discovering your truth. It features an original soundtrack composed by August Rigo, who has written songs for BTS (\u201cBlack Swan,\u201d \u201cOn\u201d), Justin Bieber (\u201cU Smile\u201d), One Direction (\u201cGotta Be You\u201d) and more.<\/p>\n<p>The show was co-commissioned by Canada\u2019s CBC Kids and the U.K.\u2019s CBBC. It was produced by Pillango Productions and Aircraft Pictures, with the financial participation of the Shaw Rocket Fund and the Canada Media Fund. Federation Kids &amp; Family is handling worldwide sales.<\/p>\n<p>Julia Kim Caldwell, who stars in the lead role of <em>Gangnam Project<\/em>, said, \u201cI\u2019ve always been a massive K-pop fan. For me, K-pop was a way to connect to the Korean heritage on my mum\u2019s side, and I love how it\u2019s been a bridge for people to discover more about Korean culture. I\u2019m so excited for anyone who\u2019s always been a fan of K-pop, like myself, to get to live out their trainee fantasy with Hannah\u2019s journey and for newcomers to fall in love with everything K-pop. Being a part of <em>Gangnam Project<\/em> has been a dream come true for me and I can\u2019t wait for everyone to see it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Muller, senior head of commissioning and acquisitions for 7+ at BBC Children\u2019s and Education, commented, \u201cKorea is the modern center of the creative world, and K-pop, K-drama and K-cartoons continue to rise in popularity across the globe, especially amongst younger audiences. That\u2019s why we\u2019re bringing CBBC viewers their very own K-pop show combining brilliant, high quality storytelling with this huge cultural phenomenon!<\/p>\n<p>Marie McCann, senior director of children\u2019s content at CBC Kids, added,\u201cFrom the beginning, we\u2019ve been excited to bring <em>Gangnam Project<\/em> to life for audiences in Canada and around the world. Sarah and Romeo\u2019s storytelling has tapped into K-pop culture in an authentic way, with an incredible soundtrack performed by a talented young cast, while also managing to be thoughtful and relatable, with a sense of humour. This fun and upbeat series will appeal to viewers of all ages.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gangnam Project, a new coming-of-age series that looks at what it takes to make it in the world of K-pop, has been slated to premiere on CBBC and BBC iPlayer on February 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":26927,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[1975,3817,3163,433,2335,9115,9116,236,9117,1842,865],"class_list":["post-26926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-aircraft-pictures","tag-bbc-iplayer","tag-canada-media-fund","tag-cbbc","tag-cbc-kids","tag-gangnam-project","tag-julia-kim-caldwell","tag-marie-mccann","tag-pillango-productions","tag-sarah-muller","tag-shaw-rocket-fund","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CBBC Slates Gangnam Project Debut - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbbc-slates-gangnam-project-debut\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CBBC Slates Gangnam Project Debut - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Gangnam Project, a new coming-of-age series that looks at what it takes to make it in the world of K-pop, has been slated to premiere on CBBC and BBC iPlayer on February 26.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbbc-slates-gangnam-project-debut\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-02-13T14:59:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-02-13T14:59:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/CBBC-GangnamProject-0224.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbbc-slates-gangnam-project-debut\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbbc-slates-gangnam-project-debut\/\",\"name\":\"CBBC Slates Gangnam Project Debut - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-02-13T14:59:09+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-02-13T14:59:12+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbbc-slates-gangnam-project-debut\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbbc-slates-gangnam-project-debut\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbbc-slates-gangnam-project-debut\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"CBBC Slates Gangnam Project Debut\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
