Ahn Yu-jin appeared as an MC for the 4th consecutive time on the ‘2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon’ that aired on the 25th, while also decorating the year-end stage with energy as a player.

Ahn Yu-jin appeared in the center lift that day wearing a black long dress with a team design. She exuded an elegant yet magnificent atmosphere. Ahn Yu-jin said, “I‘ve been waiting for today because I love the warm and exciting atmosphere of Gayo Daejeon. I will take responsibility and create a day like a Christmas gift for those who have waited like me,“ adding to the anticipation for the stage.

Not only did Ahn Yu-jin lead the broadcast with her excellent hosting skills and sensible comments worthy of the title of ‘Gayo Daejeon hostess’, but she also showed off perfect chemistry with the other MCs, doubling the enjoyment of the stage. In the second half, she showed off her diverse charms by pulling off various styles, such as a kitschy check-print mini dress and in the third half, a dot-print halter-neck dress.

Not only that, Ahn Yu-jin showed off overwhelming synergy with a cover stage of ‘Killer’ by Karina of the group aespa. She created a hip atmosphere wearing a leather crop top and pants, and her powerful vocals, restrained dance moves using a chair, and even her deadly gaze combined to reveal a different, captivating side of herself than usual.

Ahn Yu-jin said through her agency, “It’s such an honor to be able to MC ‘Gayo Daejeon’ for four consecutive times. Now, my excitement is greater than my nervousness, and it feels like receiving a Christmas present every year. I will work harder to show you more good things in the future,” she said.
