‘I Missed You’ Choi Hwa-jung opened up about the enthusiastic response to YouTube.

On the afternoon of the 7th, a production conference for ENA‘s new entertainment program ‘Choi Hwa-jung and Kim Ho-young’s I Missed You’ (hereafter ‘I Missed You’) was held at the Brookfield Hall on the 3rd floor of IFC Seoul in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Broadcasters Choi Hwa-jung, Kim Ho-young, ENA PD Ahn Je-min, and outsourced production company (In & In) PD Kim Hee-dong attended the production conference that day.

When asked about the difference between YouTube and ‘I Missed You’, Choi Hwa-jung answered, “I didn‘t think people would love it this much even though it’s YouTube. Since they love it so much, rather than differentiating things, I think this program should be natural as well. But maybe because it‘s a broadcast, that kind of atmosphere doesn’t come out. Rather, I wish it could be natural without differentiation. They‘re stars I’m meeting for the first time, and there are times when I‘m embarrassed or even better because they’re different from the image I have in mind.“

He added, ”These days, people are reluctant to do something on public broadcasting. I think the role of an MC is to make that as comfortable as possible, without the cameras. It‘s hard for me to laugh and eat more, but I think that’s the role of an MC. It‘s been really successful so far.“

Meanwhile, ENA’s new entertainment program, ‘Choi Hwa-jung and Kim Ho-young‘s I Missed You’, which will be aired for the first time on Saturday, March 8 at 9:40 PM, is a talk show about regular restaurants where Choi Hwa-jung, who feeds well, and all-rounder entertainer Kim Ho-young are invited to the regular restaurants of Korea’s top stars to share food, philosophy, and encouragement.

Choi Hwa-jung and Kim Ho-young, who are the leading figures in the entertainment industry, are meeting people they want to see and tasting delicious food at their favorite regular restaurants, foreshadowing an honest talk.
