Jang Keun Suk, being appointed as MC for "2016 SBS Drama Awards" said, "I am very excited."
Jang Keun Suk will co-host "2016 SBS Drama Awards" to be broadcast on December 31st at 8:55pm (The original text says at 9:00pm but 8:55pm is correct.) with the other two co-hosts, Min Ah from "Girl's Day" a girl group and Lee Hwi-jae and they will close 2016 with the show.
Jang Keun Suk, the Prince of Asia who showed charismatic performance in the drama "Daebak ～ fateful moments ～" this year and gained a reputation as well, was once appointed to host "2009 SBS Drama Awards" and displayed his outstanding ability as MC. On his second appearance on stage as MC this year, Jang Keun Suk revealed his frank feelings toward assuming the responsibility.
Jang Keun Suk said, "I am very excited to emcee '2016 SBS Drama Awards' for the 1st time in 7 years since 2009. Because SBS is just like my spiritual home, I am particularly happy to emcee the show."
Regarding his own great success as MC for "Produce 101" at the beginning of this year Jang Keun Suk said with laughing, "At that time I heard I was emceeing the show as if I were an AlphaGo. Since it was a live TV show, I was very nervous. I never thought viewers described me in that way." Although he himself was very nervous on the stage, he did his best and cared about participants who were also very nervous. His sincere, good performances resulted in leaving favorable impressions on many fans.
"Thanks to Min Ah and Mr. Lee Hwi-jae, the other two co-hosts for this upcoming SBS Drama Awards I feel by far more at ease," Jang Keun Suk said. Then he continued looking back again on his latest drama, "I feel as if I had acted in 'Daebak' only yesterday but it has already been almost 1 year." He finished his talk with the following message for the viewers, "I will see you soon again in a new, good drama. Thank you very much."
