Lee Da-hee Shines as Main Host in Netflix's 'Single's Inferno 5' and MBN's 'Bake Your Dream'


Actress Lee Da-hee is solidifying her presence as the main host in Netflix's variety show 'Single's Inferno 5' and MBN's 'Bake Your Dream'. She is being praised for her distinct character and stable hosting skills in two very different programs, proving her competitive edge as a variety show host beyond her acting career.

Lee Da-hee joined 'Single's Inferno' as the main host from its first season in 2021, leading the panel with her calm and clear voice, stable tone, and ability to summarize situations. Her honest yet not over-the-top reviews of participants' emotions and actions have resonated with viewers. Her ability to adjust the program's atmosphere, sometimes with a cool demeanor and other times with humor, has been noted as a strength, bridging the gap between the cast and the audience.

This hosting prowess has translated into the show's popularity. According to Good Data Corporation's FUNdex, 'Single's Inferno 5' saw a 40.6% increase in buzz as of the 3rd of this month compared to the previous week. As the season progresses and the brand power solidifies, Lee Da-hee's presence in steering the panel is seen as a contributing factor to this upward trend.

Lee Da-hee is also achieving success with MBN's 'Bake Your Dream'. The show premiered on the 1st and immediately topped the ratings for variety shows in its time slot on comprehensive and cable channels. Considering MBN's channel characteristics, which typically struggle to attract younger viewers, this is seen as remarkable. At the center of this success is Lee Da-hee's natural flow in hosting the program.

In 2019-2020, Lee Da-hee demonstrated her stable hosting abilities in the idol survival genre through Mnet's 'Queendom' and 'Road to Kingdom'. Despite the programs being somewhat different from her existing image, she showcased another charm by smoothly interacting with the idol participants and leading the scene. Her ability to judge comments according to the situation, read the flow, and ease tension received positive reviews, establishing her image as a 'reliable host'.

This year, she has drawn attention by challenging the unfamiliar genre of baking survival. 'Bake Your Dream', which focuses on baking, raised interest in how well it would align with Lee Da-hee's supermodel image. To prepare, she attended a baking academy and tasted various types of bread, showing her dedication to understanding the program's subject matter, which became a topic of interest even before the broadcast.

Since debuting as a supermodel in 2002, Lee Da-hee has consistently worked in various projects, showing growth in both acting skills and visual appeal. However, the relatively few leading roles compared to her recognition and years of experience is noted as a downside. Nevertheless, she has continued to leave a strong impression by enhancing the completeness of each project she participates in, earning positive evaluations.

These strengths as an actress are fully reflected in her activities as a variety show host. Her superior visuals and acting-honed sensibility naturally shine in hosting, and Lee Da-hee is proving her competitiveness in a new domain as a host, expanding her range of activities.
