Actress Kim Hye-soo, the next MC for the Blue Dragon Film Awards? “Let’s find out at 22”

Actress Kim Hye-soo shared her thoughts on being the next MC for the Blue Dragon Film Awards.

On the 12th, the YouTube channel 'by PDC PDC' released a video titled 'Kim Hye-soo's final commute to work and rehearsal site for the 44th Blue Dragon Film Awards', which shows the process of actress Kim Hye-soo leaving for the last time as host of the 44th Blue Dragon Film Awards. In the video, Kim Hye-soo told the story behind the Blue Dragon Film Awards.

On this day, Kim Hye-soo was seen stepping down from her position as host of the Blue Dragon Film Awards, which she had held for over 30 years from 1993 to 2023. He decided to end his hosting role with the 44th Blue Dragon Film Awards. Kim Hye-soo, who got into the car for her final commute, said, "I'm not even retiring, but the texts I received made everyone cry. I decided the moment I saw the article last year."

He continued, "(For me) it's the last 'Blue Dragon Film Awards', but I don't have any other emotions. All I can think about is that the live broadcast should go well without any accidents. My legs are cramping. I'm wearing very high shoes and standing for nearly 2 to 3 hours. Part 2 He added, “When I get cramps, I have to stand still and have cramps for over an hour.”

Kim Hye-soo's dress became a hot topic at every award ceremony. However, Kim Hye-soo, who mentioned that she went on a strict diet to wear a dress, said, "I once starved myself. When I was doing 'Tazza', I gained a lot of weight after traveling. Someone told me to starve, so I starved and lost 1kg a day. I ate a lot and became calm. “We ate less dinner for about three days together, and on the last day, we starved for a day.” He continued, "This year, after finishing 'Shuroop', I felt burnout and took a break for a year. I worked out harder than ever and tried to regain my healthy condition."

Arriving in the waiting room, Kim Hye-soo checked and revised the script. She expressed her belief, "The changes I make in the comments exclude those that introduce people while evaluating their appearance. That's not what's important; I tend to introduce the person in a way that shows what influence he or she has had on our country's film industry."

Kim Hye-soo expressed her gratitude to actor Yoo Yeon-seok, who co-hosted the show. Yoo Yeon-seok hosted the Blue Dragon Film Awards for six consecutive years and worked with Kim Hye-soo. Yoo Yeon-seok told Kim Hye-soo that he was amazing for serving as the host for over 30 years. In response, Kim Hye-soo said, "What's so great? Now that he knows he's going to do that, isn't that right? He's taking over the baton. Yeon-seok is very young for a 'Blue Dragon Film Awards' host. He's probably the youngest. But ever since he joined me for the first episode, he's been very young. “I was surprised at how calm he was.”

He continued, "What really touched me about last year was when Teacher Yoon Yeo-jeong came and went downstairs, and I was inside so I couldn't guide her, but Yeon-seok escorted me out much faster. This is how that person's attitude usually comes out. That's what I like. “It was so good,” he praised.

In addition, Kim Hye-soo jokingly said, "Everyone says I cry? I'm not retiring, so should I retire?" and added, "I've been hosting since I was in my early 20s. How did I become an MC at such a young age of 22? The next MC is 22. He also mentioned, “Let’s find it here.”

Meanwhile, Kim Hye-soo served as the host of the Blue Dragon Film Awards for about 30 years since 1993. He stepped down from his role as host after the 44th Blue Dragon Film Awards.
