The four MCs of "What on Earth?!" Jun Hyun-moo, Baek Ji-young, Kim Ho-young, and Subin have expressed their anticipation for the program.
With the premiere of "What on Earth?!" Season 2 airing on Thursday, May 29th at 9 PM, the four MCs shared their feelings and aspirations in an interview, marking their return after three months.
Jun Hyun-moo started by saying, "Season 1 was dearly loved, and we've returned with even more profound content to reciprocate that love. We've prepared stories that are genuinely relatable, not just sensational, making it even more engaging for the viewers."
Baek Ji-young shared, "During Season 1, we covered stories about people's lives, which made us laugh and cry a lot. That's why I've been eagerly waiting for Season 2. I especially hope stories like 'Starbucks Uncle' continue. What's important are the stories of people and the warm feelings they convey. We've carefully selected more submissions to share deeper stories. I hope you'll trust and watch."
Kim Ho-young mentioned, "I've had elders on the street tell me they enjoy watching 'What on Earth?!', which always made me feel good. It was truly an honor. I think it would be great to cover various stories from not only within the country but also from abroad. In these times when sensational content is rampant, this program, which sincerely deals with the stories of people around us, sharing information and offering various solutions to problems, could be a way for people to understand each other better."
Subin, the 'youngest' of the MC crew, expressed, "It's surreal and an honor to be part of a program I grew up watching. In Season 2, I really hope to meet Jiha Ryeol and Kian74 again, who were the hottest topics in the 'Look-alike Special'. The production team's dedication and focus are incredible. If you just send in your stories, I believe they would search the entire globe to find them, so please look forward to it," she said with a laugh.
Jun Hyun-moo agreed, adding, "It would be great to have Kian74 and Kian84 together in the studio. I want to see how much they resemble each other in person. Kian84 is just the right person for 'What on Earth?!' with his fitting remarks. I really hope to invite him to Season 2," raising expectations for Kian84's appearance, given their known friendship.
Lastly, all four MCs expressed their confident anticipation for the quality of Season 2. Jun Hyun-moo emphasized, "We've included content that's more relatable and profound rather than just sensational," while Baek Ji-young asserted, "The structure has been solidified, and we've carefully selected from the numerous submissions we've received. You can trust and watch." Kim Ho-young added, "The season will reveal our neighbors' stories that spark curiosity and are explored in depth," and Subin encouraged viewers to tune in, saying, "Season 2 has returned with a rich composition that captures both emotion and fun."
With the enhanced chemistry of the four MCs, Jun Hyun-moo, Baek Ji-young, Kim Ho-young, and Subin, and solid planning that makes every episode special, "What on Earth?!" Season 2 promises to bring laughter, fun, and emotion to viewers, premiering on Thursday, May 29th at 9 PM.
