'Produce 101' PD discusses working with BoA and Kahi

When asked if BoA was a suitable choice as a producer, PD Ahn commented, "Personally, I think Ms. BoA is well cut-out for variety programs. I think it may have to do with the fact that she showed us such a charismatic appeal beforehand. Not only was she good at MCing, but I got to see her human side as well. She built a close bond with the trainees and monitored the program exceptionally well."

Producer Ahn also went on to describe the coaches' methods, saying, "Teacher Kahi was able to quickly grasp the tendencies of both male and female contestants since it was her second time being on the show. She was a lot stricter on the male contestants. Her honest comments were very helpful."

He continued, "As for teacher BoA, she is like a ferocious tiger. The students were afraid of her. I remember she told me one time, 'I am the second most hated person on this program. The first person is you.' However, she had a lot of affection for the trainees, so she was able to teach them on a harsher level. I was also touched when she practiced until late in the night with the trainees working on the choreography together."
