Na Young-hee was born in Cheongju, South Korea and grew up in an ordinary family. As a teenager, he didn't want to enter the entertainment industry. His university is also the Department of Public Administration of Yonsei University. By chance, Luo Yingxi joined the drama club on the university campus and fell madly in love with drama. This became a "turning point" in his life.

In 2001, Na Young-hee entered the KBS Arts and Energy Bureau through open recruitment and became a variety show producer.

At KBS TV station, Na Young-hee gradually grew from assistant director to main director, and the first career climax in his life was also achieved here.

"The game is still long anyway"

At the end of 2012, the book "Two Days and One Night" was published. Na Young Hee shared the behind-the-scenes of "Two Days and One Night" and recalled his career after entering the TV station. It was his "life confession". Of course, this book is a travel itinerary of Iceland’s polar scenery, and it is Luo Yingxi’s reflection on life through travel when she no longer has a passion for life and work.

In the book, Luo Yingxi left a famous saying: "If you want to make any decision, it is not too late to make it after the trip. The game is still long anyway!"

No I wonder if this trip to Iceland inspired Luo Yingxi. After returning from Iceland, he created a series of variety shows that almost all revolved around the two themes of "travel" and "food".

"Grandpas Over Flowers"

In 2013, Na Young-hee switched to CJ EM and became a variety show producer for its cable TV station tvN. The second peak of Na Young Hee's variety show career was achieved in tvN.

In July 2013, the first variety show of the "Flower Series" produced by Luo Yingxi - "The Competition is Still Long Anyway" was launched, allowing veteran artists with 50 years of acting careers to go backpacking and become Variety show with an average age of 76 in Korean history.

Subsequently, "Two Days and One Night" and "New Journey to the West 8" of the same series were aired one after another, and the ratings were successful, making tvN the cable TV station "feeling proud" and creating a ratings miracle for the cable TV station.

In a question from a netizen, Luo Yingxi once mentioned that "Grandpas Over Flowers" is his favorite work. "Although I can't tell the specific reason, it may be that I can never do such a show again."

"Sisters Over Flowers"

In 2015, the 51st Korean White Elephant The Arts Awards, the highest awards in Korean television, were held. At the award ceremony, the "Television Department Award" was awarded to a variety show artist, Na Young Hee. And became the first variety show director in South Korea to win the "TV Department Award" of the Best Arts Award.

In tvN, Na Young-hee also lives up to his title of "variety show wizard". The series "Youth Over Flowers", "Grandpas Over Flowers", "Youth Over Flowers", "Three Meals a Day" and other variety shows have been launched one after another. Each variety show has achieved a "win-win" situation in terms of ratings and topics.

In variety show production, Luo Yingxi and his team rarely "miss". A few months ago, Korean media revealed that Na Young-hee's annual salary in 2018 was as high as 3.7 billion won, even higher than the chairman of CJ EM Group.

"Yin's Kitchen"

But starting in 2013, most of Na Yingxi's programs focused on "travel" and "food". Luo Yingxi said in the interview that when filming "New Journey to the West" in early 2016, there were feedback and negative comments saying that he was tired of the travel program model, which made him fall into a trough.

“I once thought, ‘Is it because I am afraid of failure that I am keen on repeating similar content?’ And one day, I will feel relieved and tell myself, ‘The vitality of the work is still very strong’ . It should be the fate of the producer to fall into this kind of entanglement." Luo Yingxi said. Related Q&A: What does pd mean?
