Ahn Jung-hwan, who has taken on the role of MC for PD Nam Kyu-hong's new project "Contract Marriage," a master of "reality dating programs," has revealed his reasons.

The MBC Every1·KBS Joy program "Contract Marriage," which airs for the first time at 10:30 p.m. on Monday, the 28th, is a marriage simulation observation reality show where men and women who desperately want to get married experience the relationship of husband and wife in advance through a contract, and confirm the meaning of marriage and realistic partnership during the process. Ahn Jung-hwan is scheduled to play the role of "Marriage Interference Team."

The production team stated, "Ahn Jung-hwan, with 26 years of experience as a married man, watched the participants closely and poured out practical advice without holding back. We hope you will watch to see if Ahn Jung-hwan, who started with the question 'Is contract marriage possible?', can find an answer through this 'Contract Marriage' program."

Below are the 6th questions and answers revealed by the production team.

-You acted as the cool-headed "Director Ahn," but this time you became the MC of "Contract Marriage," which observes dating and marriage. Do you usually watch dating programs, and what was the reason for deciding to appear?

▶Actually, I am not someone who frequently seeks out dating programs. The reason I decided on "Contract Marriage" was that I thought, "Is contract marriage really possible?" It felt fresh, yet also worrying and concerning, so various thoughts led me to choose it.

-As a husband with 26 years of marriage experience, did you have moments when watching the participants of "Contract Marriage" reminded you of your own newlywed life? If there is any practical marriage advice you would like to give directly to the participants, what would it be?

▶Although it is virtual, they are living a married life as soon as they meet, and I was somewhat surprised by how considerate the participants were toward each other. However, I thought, "Will that feeling remain unchanged even as time passes?" When you live together in marriage, saying you never fight is a lie; I also fight. At first, we are considerate of each other and endure things, but over time, problems arise from clashes. In reality, can this virtual married life last until the end? Furthermore, can it truly be realized if they get married in real life? That kind of thought came to mind. If they make it all the way through, I think the final ending of this contract marriage will turn out well.

-As "Director Ahn," you have watched players' potential for a long time, so your ability to read people must be exceptional. Did that intuition kick in during the first recording when you said, "This couple is really going to work out"?

▶I truly couldn't predict what would happen next at all. I was completely surprised because my predictions were off. First of all, I want to support all the couples and believe there is enough potential for each one. Since every couple has completely different situations and conditions, I really don't know.

-Given that Hyo-yeon and Lee Chae-young differ in generation and marriage experience, their reactions to the same scenes must have been quite different. How was your chemistry as MCs with them?

▶It was very good. Because thoughts differ by age and era, I sometimes feel, "I used to think that way too," and while watching Ms. Chae-young, I actually learn things like, "Young people these days, the MZ generation, think this way." Since we grew up in different eras, there are things I come to understand, but there are also parts where I think, "You think that way?"

-Your joining as MC for PD Nam Kyu-hong's new work has also drawn attention. What was your impression of meeting PD Nam Kyu-hong in person?

▶He was very calm and spoke very little. Although I have only met him once, he was simply quiet and dignified. Even though he was silent, I was surprised because he seemed to be thinking about things we couldn't imagine, like, "How did he come up with this 'Contract Marriage' idea?"

-As a 26-year veteran Yoo Bu-nam (CEO) MC, what are the key viewing points you want to convey to viewers ahead of the first broadcast of "Contract Marriage"?

▶I think it will be fun for everyone regardless of age group. Whether married, single, about to get married, or a couple who has spent a long time together in marriage, there were many scenes that could resonate deeply. While watching the scenes, I think many people will have thoughts like, "I lived this way, and I need to change myself." It seems like an entertainment program where you can feel, learn, correct what needs correcting, and gain various insights through observation.
