Viewers love the chemistry between the new 'Inkigayo' MCs Hyungwon and actress Kim Ji Eun

AKP STAFF

Viewers are thoroughly satisfied with the new 'Inkigayo' MCs.

As reported, the SBS music program recently hired new hosts to take over the spots of actors Roh Jeong Eui and Seo Beom Jun. After delivering a special stage with "Not Spring, Love, or Cherry Blossoms" (originally by HIGH4 and IU), MONSTA X's Hyungwon and actress Kim Ji Eun received love and praise for their ongoing visual and professional chemistry.

Netizens on an online forum commented how they look like a "prince and a princess" and that they both have such "beautiful and small faces." From their first greeting to casual skits, the new MCs pulled off every duty effortlessly throughout the episode.


Actress Kim Ji Eun, who was not so much a familiar face to netizens as Hyungwon was, especially gained a lot of attention in the comments.

Reactions include:


"The female MC is sooooooooooo beautiful"

"Who is she?! She is so freaking pretty"
"Holy....their visual pairing is so incredible"
"They look like a pair that looks great but ones we can't actually see them choose each other because they are both so beautiful haha like on 'Heart Signal'"
"Whoa the chemistry is out of this world"
"Kim Ji Eun looks like an idol! With that makeup especially"
"Handsome and beautiful....whoa who is Kim Ji Eun, I think I saw her in a couple dramas but she is so gorgeous"
"Hyungwon is a dandy and Kim Ji Eun is literally a princess"

Do you also love the two new MCs?

Surprised/ not surprised that some viewers do not know who Kim Ji Eun is, considering she was in 3 pretty prominent drama the past year or two - The Veil, Again My Life and One Dollar Lawyer. But then I guess it shows that only a small proportion of Koreans actually watch drama - her dramas are watched by 1.5-3 million households, factor in the number of viewers in a household and streaming viewers, the total is probably around 5-8 million people - only 10-15% of the Korean population. Unless you are a household name like Jun Ji Hyun, Son Ye Jin, Song Hye Kyo, Kim Tae Hee, Suzy, Yoona, etc, most people probably are not familiar
