Actor Hwang Jung-eum delivered his thoughts on 'Solo Rae', whose season 2 has been confirmed.

Hwang Jung-eum was praised by viewers for her positive energy and friendly hosting of the SBS Plus and E-Channel co-produced entertainment show 「'Solo Rae', which premiered on October 29. In particular, Hwang Jung-eum's 'collection of famous words' became a hot topic with great attention and love, with more than 5.04 million views of YouTube shorts (28.2 million in total) and Instagram Reels (22.45 million in total).

On the irreplaceable popularity of 'Soloist', which returns to season 2 in February next year thanks to the enthusiastic support, Hwang Jung-eum said, `It's my first program to be an MC, and I'm so grateful that it will be produced until season 2 because the response is good. "It's all thanks to the viewers. We'll do our best to show you a better performance as an MC in Season 2 than in Season 1. I'll show you my honest self" expressed his determination.



Hwang Jung-eum then said "I think the viewers liked the new appearance of the cast members that have not been seen before. Many people sympathized with me because I was a soloist and showed them happy and joyful, or anxious and lonely, and I also supported them by watching their daily lives."

Of course, Hwang Jung-eum, who was worried about appearing in 'Because I'm Solo', said, `I was worried because it was a field I hadn't tried before, but I thought it would be okay if Shin Dong-yup did it together. In fact, when I filmed it, he expressed his trust in Shin Dong-yeop, saying, "'As expected, Dong-yeop!'" and "Dong-yeop has leadership and charisma that leads everyone." Thanks to you, (the studio) becomes a more pleasant atmosphere. You're amazing. I'm not good enough, but I'll do my best," he said with a humble determination.



2 MC Shin Dong-yeop and Hwang Jung-eum, as well as their perfect chemistry with 'Solo Sisters', were also in the spotlight. Hwang Jung-eum said, `Since we have a lot of sympathy and support for each other, we naturally opened up our hearts and became close quicklyI hope that not only the well-being and happiness of my family, but also the new relationships that I met while I was solo, I hope that 2025 will be a happy year" expressed his heart.

Finally, Hwang Jung-eum "Season 2 production is thanks to the viewers who showed a lot of love and interest. Thank you again, and I'll be back with Season 2 soon, so please wait a little bit. I hope you have a happy and warm end of the year, whether you are together or solo."

Q'Soloist'You became the first MC of an entertainment program in 23 years since your debut, so please tell us how you feel.

"I was so worried at first. I was worried about whether I could do it, because it was a field I hadn't tried before, but I decided to try it after hearing that (Shin) Dong-yeop was doing it. I thought it would be okay to do it with my senior. "While filming, I was able to do it comfortably because of not only Shin Dong-yup but also the cast members who are with me, and although there are still many things that are lacking, I will continue to work hard."

Q"When you were offered an appearance on "Soloza", you said you decided to appear because of Shin Dong-yup, but how was your chemistry when you put it together?

I thought "What's the point of saying? Dongyupshin!" I had a heart to believe and go. I have appeared as a guest in a program my senior has done, but it is the first time I have been together with such a long breath, and I have leadership and charisma that flexibly leads everyone. I think it's amazing, to the point where it's natural that you're in a more pleasant atmosphere because of your senior."

Q'Solo Representative' The more you go on a single episode, the more you quickly became close to the 'Solo Representative's. You can feel the chemistry on the screen. Is there a secret?

"Dining party? (laughs) We talked more during the company dinner. I can't drink very well, but it's fun to be together. As I have a consensus and support each other, I naturally opened up quickly."

Q"Soloist" is a hot topic every day, so isn't there any pressure for an outspoken remark?

"I don't feel pressured, but rather than constantly thinking about and hesitating about things that I sympathize with, I thought it would be a situation where everyone could talk about them with ease and ease by telling my honest story." The cast members are also courageous and showing what they have not shown before. I wanted to talk more comfortably, so I talked more honestly like I was talking to a friend."

Q"Soloist" has been showing unrivaled performance in terms of ratings as well as the buzz of each episode since the first episode, what do you think is the secret?

"I think it's because of the new appearance of the cast members that haven't been seen before." It seems that many people sympathized with me because I was a soloist, showing me happy and joyful, anxious and lonely. Looking at their daily lives, I also sympathized a lot and became willing."

Q Thanks to its popularity, 'Soloist' has confirmed the production of Season 2. What are your thoughts and resolutions?

"It's thanks to the viewers. It was my first program to be an MC, but I'm so grateful that it will be produced until season 2 because the response is good. In season 2, I hope I can show you a little more advanced MC than in season 1. I'll show you my honest self as always.(laughs)"

Q You're wrapping up this year with "I'm solo". Do you have any new resolutions or wishes for next year?

"Let's be happy! I always thought of living hard for the well-being and happiness of my family. Also, I hope you have a happy 2025 with new relationships that you met while singing `Because I'm a solo artist.'

Q"I made a successful MC debut through "Soloza". Therefore, I think there will be a lot of requests for other entertainment programs, do you have any plans to expand your activities as an MC in the future?

"There have been offers to be made, but nothing has been finalized. First of all, I want to concentrate on 'because I'm solo'. There are still parts that are not enough to try other challenges as an MC, and entertainment seems to be difficult. If there is another good opportunity like 'because I'm solo', I will think about it.(laughs)"

I would like to thank the viewers for their great love for Q"SoloRa".

"I think it was because of the viewers who showed a lot of love and interest in the program that we were able to produce season 2." Thank you for watching. I'm a soloist, so I'll be back soon for season 2, so please wait a little bit. Always take care of your health and spend the upcoming end of the year, with someone, even if you're alone, happily and warmly."
