Singer Kim Ha-neul has shared her thoughts on her first time as a judge on an audition entertainment program.

At the production conference for KBS 2TV‘s new entertainment program ‘The Ttanttara’ held at the KBS New Wing Art Hall in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the 31st, Kim Ha-neul said with a laugh, “I never dared imagine that I would be sitting as a judge on an audition program.

She said, “I normally really like watching entertainment programs. They heal me and make me feel at ease. I hesitated because I wondered if I would be good at evaluating and judging someone on an audition program.”

She continued, “But on the other hand, I thought that my career had been going on for a long time, and I gained courage after hearing that ’더 땡따라‘ was a program that looked at various aspects of me, not just singing.” She continued, “I thought about the perspectives of the people who discovered me and thought that it would be helpful to the participants, so I took on the challenge.”

Kim Ha-neul said with a laugh while filming recently, “The emotions I feel when I see the participants who can sing, dance, and act are different. I’m personally really enjoying filming. It feels rewarding.”

‘더 땡따라’, which Kim Ha-neul is appearing on, is a project to find celebrities who can sing, dance, act, and do variety shows, and is a new variety audition program presented by singer Park Jin-young in collaboration with KBS. Kim Ha-neul, Park Jin-young, actor Cha Tae-hyun, and Red Velvet‘s Wendy will appear as judges. First broadcast on November 3rd.
