Girls' Generation member Hyoyeon shared her thoughts on taking on the role of MC for a couple reality observation program for the first time since her debut.

On the 21st, MBC Every1 and KBS Joy's 'Contract Marriage' team conveyed Hyoyeon's sincere feelings through a direct interview as she prepares to serve as the show's MC.

The first episode of 'Contract Marriage,' set to air on the 28th, is a marriage simulation reality observation program where men and women who earnestly desire marriage experience a spousal relationship in advance through a contract, confirming the meaning of marriage and realistic partnership during the process. Produced with PD Nam Kyu-hong, known for 'Matchmaking Variety Hit Machine,' and PDs Na Sang-won and Baek Jeong-hoon, currently overseeing 'I Am Solo,' the program promises to introduce a fresh paradigm in variety entertainment.

Hyoyeon, who has gained attention as a "no-filter truth-teller" in numerous variety programs, is set to shine as part of the 'Marriage Advice Team' on 'Contract Marriage,' analyzing couples' situations tailored to the perspectives of unmarried women.

Full text of Hyoyeon's interview below.

Q. You have been showing honest and cheerful charm on YouTube's 'Hyoyeon's Level Up' and Girls' Generation's unit 'Hyori-su.' What are your thoughts on joining as the MC for a couple reality observation program for the first time since your debut?

I usually enjoy dating shows like 'I Am Solo,' so I am extremely excited and happy to be able to join as the MC of 'Contract Marriage.'

Q. When you first heard about the concept for 'Contract Marriage,' what was your initial thought? Also, how did your close Girls' Generation members react?

When I first heard the concept, I found it refreshing that they skip dating and go straight to marriage. Especially as an MC, I decided to participate because I can watch and support two people who have just met as a couple from the beginning as they get to know each other. The news of my participation was kept secret from the members, so I think they will be surprised.

Q. You are loved for your bold no-filter comments and honest reactions. Did you deliver any truth bombs during actual filming? Were there behaviors that would have made you say, "I really wouldn't like this if he were my husband," or "I would really like this"?

Because I often got too immersed in the video, I was probably too honest at times, so a lot of editing will likely be done. I think viewers will immediately know which husbands (participants) I liked and disliked once they watch the broadcast.

Q. While watching 'Contract Marriage,' did you discover any new conditions for a spouse? If someone were to propose a 'contract marriage' in reality, would you be willing to take on the challenge?

I always say I like calm people, and through 'Contract Marriage,' I think that feeling has become even stronger. I am someone who values not only the outcome but also the process, so I think 'Contract Marriage' would be difficult for me.

Q. As an MC, you are expected to represent the perspective of unmarried women. What would you say is the key point to watch in 'Contract Marriage'?

Please look forward to the honest comments from the MCs and the even more honest and bold appearances of the experienced participants.

Meanwhile, 'Contract Marriage' will premiere on the 28th at 10:30 p.m.
