Mixed martial artist and broadcast personality Choo Sung-hoon revealed the reason for his appearance on the music competition program 'The Scout.'
On the morning of the 29th, a production presentation for ENA's new variety show 'The Scout: A Star Reborn' (hereinafter 'The Scout') was held at Cube Convention Center in Mapo-gu, Seoul. The master squad, including Lee Seung-cheol, Kim Jae-joong, Wendy (Red Velvet), Young K (DAY6), and Choo Sung-hoon, attended.
'The Scout' is a growth-oriented music project where top experts in the music industry directly discover 'raw gems' who have not yet fully displayed their talents and present them with new directions and possibilities.
On this day, Choo Sung-hoon honestly admitted, "When I was first approached for 'The Scout,' I didn't understand it either. I thought, 'Why am I here?' I wondered, 'As a martial artist, what can I do to help on a music show, what should I do?' and had many thoughts."
He continued, "After starting filming and shooting a few times, I saw the friends who appeared and realized that on a big stage, it's necessary to have strong 'mentality.' So I realized in the middle, 'Ah, this is my role.' But I didn't expect to be included among these five. I thought I would just appear briefly and leave, so I thought, 'Is it okay for it to turn out like this?'" eliciting laughter.
Soon after, Choo Sung-hoon said, "I also poured 100% into my muse friends and worked hard on their mental management. Some of them have strong eyes."
'The Scout' will air its first episode on May 8.
