Choi Soo-young "Feels like watching a youth drama every day, receiving healing and good stimulation"

Girl group Girls' Generation member and actress Choi Soo-young expressed her feelings about being the sole MC of 'R U Next?

On the morning of the 30th, a production presentation for JTBC's new variety show 'R U Next?' was held at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Producers Yeji Lee, Producer Seonhyung Kim, Sooyoung Choi, Gyuri Park, Hyun Lee, Kwon Jo, and Aiki attended the event.

'R U Next' is a survival program that selects members of Hive Labels' next girl group. It contains the process of 22 trainees from Belief Lab participating in a total of 7 round missions, which are essential gateways to becoming an idol.

Choi Soo-young will host the program as a single MC. Gyuri Park, Hyun Lee, Kwon Jo, Jaehwan Kim, and Aiki will serve as coaches.

On this day, Choi Soo-young said, "Wouldn't it be a privilege given to me to see the birth of a next-generation world-class girl group from the beginning? They do not compete individually in individual battles like other survival pros, but the relationship in which they grow together, solidarity, and encourage each other at the same time as competitors. I think it's like a coming-of-age drama."

He added, "I'm proud and happy. As a senior and a colleague, I watch every day with the feeling of watching a youth drama. As I progress, I receive healing and good stimulation."

'R U Next' will be broadcast for the first time at 8:50 pm on the 30th.
