Singer Jung Yong-hwa expressed high expectations for his first participation as an MC in a dating program.

On the afternoon of the 31st, SBS held a production presentation for its new dating variety program 'My Remaining Love' at Mokdong SBS in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. PD Lee Eun-sol, PD Kim Hyo-jin, actor Lee Se-young, Jung Yong-hwa, SEVENTEEN member Dohyeon, and singer Choi Ye-na attended the event.

'My Remaining Love' is a dating reality show featuring 2030s youth who have received terminal diagnoses or experienced life-and-death battles with illness. The participants maintain their relationships through an original matching system where they exchange limited 'time' with each other every night. The production is led by PD Lee Eun-sol, who previously directed 'Love Possessed,' a romance series about MZ fortune tellers.

On this day, Jung Yong-hwa stated, "In dating programs, authenticity is naturally the most important thing. I thought the participants would have different attitudes toward life. Since I am usually an avid viewer of dating programs, being selected as an MC was a two-birds-one-stone opportunity for me. I felt I would regret it if I didn't do it. I felt a great merit in being able to watch the VCR for the first time."

He continued with a joke, "I also wanted to keep the footage secret from my friends after watching it myself. Now, if people around me ask me not to spoil anything, I can answer, 'It's top secret.'"

Jung Yong-hwa revealed that he was even scolded by the audio director for over-identifying with the content. He added, "Because of my over-identification, I started shouting from episode one. The audio director got angry at me. We filmed two episodes in a day, and when I got home, my throat hurt."

Meanwhile, 'My Remaining Love' will premiere on August 3 at 10 p.m.
