'I Met a Psychopath' PD reveals trust in MC Jeon Hyun-moo, Kyu-hyun, Nucksal, and Heo Young-ji.

On the 10th, a press conference for MBN and SBS Plus's new variety show 'I Met a Psychopath' (abbreviated as 'Naesapae') was held online. The event was attended by PD Joo Hee-jin along with MCs broadcasters Jeon Hyun-moo, singer Kyu-hyun, Nucksal, and Heo Young-ji.

'I Met a Psychopath' is a fact-based thriller talk program that deals with real-life experiences of encountering anti-social personalities such as psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists hiding around us. It plans to deliver an immersive experience distinct from existing crime variety shows by combining reenactments in the form of anthology dramatizations based on true events, vivid storytelling by storytellers, and expert analysis.

Jeon Hyun-moo, who is taking on the challenge as the first thriller variety MC, along with Kyu-hyun, Nucksal, and Heo Young-ji, will join as a storytelling corps.

PD Joo Hee-jin stated regarding Jeon Hyun-moo: "He was the first pick in casting when we planned this program."

She continued, explaining, "Although it is a crime variety show, I wanted it not to feel heavy or dark. I thought Jeon Hyun-moo was someone who could host across both educational and entertainment genres, so he was cast." Hearing this, Kyu-hyun expressed disappointment, saying, "It's disappointing," revealing his feelings of being let down by the fact that he was not the 'first pick.'

Regarding Kyu-hyun, she said, "I felt that he has been analytical and good at pinpointing key points. I thought it was a great casting because he pointed out things like 'a single sentence can kill.'"

She also expressed satisfaction with Nucksal and Heo Young-ji. PD Joo stated, "When the decision to recruit Nucksal was first made, many young directors particularly liked him. He is also a mood-maker who well pinpoints the points of empathy that viewers think about."

PD Joo added, "Heo Young-ji is our program's healing character. There were parts where she showed good empathy. Since our program features many stories where women appear as victims due to its genre, it was a satisfying casting because she, as the only female member, seems to empathize."

Meanwhile, 'I Met a Psychopath' will premiere on the 12th at 10 p.m.
