Next is Hwang Jung-eum's question and answer.
Q: You became the first MC of an entertainment show in 23 years since your debut through 'Solo Rider', how do you feel?
I was so worried at first. Will I be able to do it? I was worried because it was a field I hadn't tried before, but I heard that (Shin) Dong-yeop was doing it, so I decided to try it. I thought it would be okay to do it with you. As I filmed, I was able to do it comfortably thanks to not only Shin Dong-yup but also the cast members who worked with me, and although there are still many shortcomings, I will continue to work hard.
Q: When you were offered to appear on 'Solo Rider', you said you decided to appear because of Shin Dong-yup, but when you put it together, what's your chemistry?I thought, '∀, what's the point of saying? As expected, Dongyupshin!' I wanted to trust him and go. I've appeared as a guest in a program you're doing, but it's the first time we've been together for such a long time, and you have leadership and charisma that lead everyone flexibly. I think it's so amazing that it's natural to have a more pleasant atmosphere because of you.
Q: The more I went on 'Solo', the faster I got to know the 'Solo Representatives'. Is there a secret to your chemistry?
dinner? (laughs) We talked more during the company dinner. I can't drink very well, but it's fun to be together. Since I have a consensus and support each other, I naturally opened my heart quickly.
Q: Is there any pressure for the outspoken comments you've shown in 'Solo Rider'?
I don't feel pressured, but rather than constantly thinking about and hesitating about things that I can relate to, I hope that by telling my honest story, everyone can feel less burdened and comfortable. The cast members are courageous and show us things that we haven't shown before. I wanted to talk more comfortably, so I talked more honestly as if I were talking to a friend.
Q: What do you think is the secret to the popularity of "Because I'm Solo"?
I think it's because of the new appearances of the cast that you haven't seen before. I think many people sympathized with me because I'm a solo artist and I'm happy and happy, anxious and lonely. I also sympathized a lot and gained a lot of support from their daily lives.
Q: How do you feel and how do you feel about making season 2?It's all thanks to the
viewers. Thank you very much. It was my first program to be an MC, but I'm so thankful that it's going to be produced until season 2 because the response is good. In season 2, I hope I can show you a better MC than in season 1. I'll show you my honest self.(laughs)
Q: You're wrapping up this year with 'Solo', so do you have any new resolutions or wishes for next year?Let's be happy
! I always thought about living hard for the well-being and happiness of my family. Also, I hope that the new relationships I met while doing 'Solo' will be a happy 2025 year.
Q: Made a successful MC debut through 'Soloza' Do you have any plans to expand your activities as an MC in the future?
I've had a proposal for an offer, but nothing has been confirmed. First of all, I want to focus on "Because I'm Solo". I think it's not enough to try other things as an MC yet, and variety shows are difficult. If I get another good chance like "Because I'm a solo artist," I'll think about it.(laughs)
Q: A word to the viewers of 'Because I'm Solo.' I think the reason why we were able to produce season 2 of
was because of the viewers who showed a lot of love and interest in the program. Thank you for watching. I'm going to be back with season 2 of 'Because I'm Solo', so please wait a little bit. Always take care of your health and spend the upcoming end of the year, even if you're with someone, even if you're solo, happy and warm.
