Nam Hee-seok, the heavy shoulders of 'National Singing Contest' MC

Broadcaster Nam Hee-seok told the story of how he took on the role of MC for ‘National Singing Contest’.

On the 29th, the YouTube channel 'Lekeuk Lee Gyeong-gyu' said, 'Heeseok, do whatever you want! A video titled 'It's okay!' was a great help.'

On this day, Nam Hee-seok talked about the position of MC for 'National Singing Contest', which he has been taking over since March, succeeding the late Song Hae. He said, “I have had thoughts and dreams since I was young. Isn’t that the dream every comedian has? But even though I didn't know it when I was young, I was rude when I grew up. He mentioned, “It was my junior’s wish that Teacher Song Hae would continue until he was 120 or 130 years old.”

Next, Nam Hee-seok said, “I happened to get a chance to do it, and I got a call from Lee Gyeong-gyu. Doesn’t your brother ever say things like ‘stay calm and work hard’? 'hey! Do whatever you want. are you okay. He expressed his gratitude by saying, “Don’t worry,’ was the biggest support to me.” Then Lee Gyeong-gyu said, “Nam Hee-seok has his own personality,” and “So, do whatever you want. Then, it becomes yours. He praised Nam Hee-seok, saying, “Not only does he have a great style, but his face itself is a ‘national singing star.’”

Nam Hee-seok said that he felt a lot of pressure as he became the MC of 'National Singing Contest', following in the footsteps of Song Hae and Kim Shin-young. He said, “Isn’t there such a big mountain? “I will keep comparing myself to that mountain,” he said. “It’s not like I suddenly like the MC just because he changed. Let's just take it slow. And I don't think I should be the main character. On set, they try to criticize a lot. “I think it just needs to be fun for the people who come out,” he confessed.
