Why Mona Karami and Sepand Amirsoleimani Became Hosts of “Joonmoon”?

The producer of “Joonmoon” said the initial idea for the show emerged during talks with the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education.

The producer of "Jonmun" said about the program's view on the topic of childbearing and the necessity of narrating the real experience of couples: I think that when we want to talk about childbearing, we should allow people to get involved in the topic, talk, discuss and convey their real experience. This type of program cannot achieve the desired result with a completely formal and pre-planned conversation.

According to Ambassador Arjan, Kamran Seifullahi, the producer of "Junmon" said about the initial idea of the program: The idea of creating this program was formed during discussions with the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education.

They stated that they would like to create a program in the area of parenting, and accordingly, I submitted a plan, which was agreed upon and submitted to the network for consideration. The network also welcomed this idea and in this way, the design of the program entered a more serious stage.

He added: During the design phase, various meetings were held with network managers and different groups. Even in some meetings, various topics and ideas were raised and we tried to include the opinion of specialized departments of the organization in the design of the program. Among other things, we had meetings with the health council of the organization and the population and family desk and received their opinions about the plan.

Referring to the content approach of "Jonmon", Saifullahi stated: In all these meetings, our effort was to ensure that the program does not suffer from errors in terms of content, and at the same time, in terms of form, to reach a structure that is in harmony with the organization's desired horizon and evolution document. One of the results obtained from these meetings was that we should not go directly to the slogan of having children.

The producer of "Jonmon" added: We came to the conclusion that it is better to share the events and issues related to having children with the audience indirectly. For example, the issue of the first thousand days of a child's life, issues related to abortion, and other issues that are raised in the field of childbearing, can be presented to the audience in the form of real experience and narrative, rather than simply being given a direct message.

Saifullahi said about the program's approach to childbearing and the necessity of narrating the real experience of couples: In my opinion, when we want to talk about childbearing, we should allow people to get involved in the topic, talk, discuss and convey their real experience. This type of program cannot achieve the desired result with a completely formal and pre-planned conversation.

He added: One of the events that we did in "Jonmun" was that we placed a couple next to a family with several children so that they could see their lives closely and face their real experience. When a couple sees how a family with several children lives, how they spend time with children and what kind of atmosphere there is at home, this experience can have more impact than a direct recommendation.

Saifullahi continued: We got a positive result from this experience and I hope that in the future we will be able to bring together the couples who were in the program again in the form of a special program and see how many of the 72 couples who participated in "Junmon" have now become parents. If such an event happened, I think it is a result that can be considered the result of this experience and communication.

What was the selection criteria of Mona Kerami and Sepand Amir Soleimani?

The producer of "Junmon" also stated about the choice of Mona Kerami and Sepand Amir Soleimani to host "Junmon": The choice of these two people was not just because they had recently had a child. Our most important criterion was to have people in the program who can host and at the same time know the world of children.

He added: When we reached Sepand Amir Soleimani and Mona Karmi, several months had passed since they became parents. I saw them at an event and I felt that these two people together can give a different kind of presence to the program; Sex was more important to us than "performance".

We emphasize even in the program that we do not have a "host", but a "host". When you watch the show, you feel like these people are really at home. They are not supposed to engage in complex literature, difficult dialogues or heavy texts; They are actually living and this feature was very important to us.

Referring to one of the most popular videos of the program, Saifullahi said: A video of the program was published, and the audience thought that what was seen in it was pre-planned; While most of these events actually happen during recording. For example, the scene where Hami cried and Mona went to feed him was a real thing, and moments like that happen a lot in the show.

The producer of "Jonmon" said: "The sentences that are broadcast today from Mona or Sepand in the program and the audience reacts positively to them are because of this real feeling." The audience feels like they are dealing with people who are conveying their real life experience, rather than simply acting out a script.

Saifullahi said about the changes in the second season of "Junmun": God willing, in the second season we will try to upgrade one stage of the program. Because this program does not have a specific and accurate external example, we cannot practically compare ourselves with a foreign program. So we have to compete with ourselves and see what mistakes we made in the first season, which parts could have been better and what changes can help make the program more attractive.

This producer added: About 10 to 15 percent of the overall structure of the program will be preserved and the main part of what the audience saw in the first season is still there, but in order to make the atmosphere of the program more diverse and attractive, some parts will be removed or changed. We try to fix the weak points and strengthen the successful parts and create a better experience for the audience by creating diversity.
