The new MC of 'Single's Inferno 7', Lee Da-eun, expressed her feelings, saying, "I received the MC offer and deliberated, but I empathized deeply with the feelings of the singles, so I found the courage to accept."
As the MBN representative dating entertainment program 'Single's Inferno 7', which has produced the most 'current couples' among seasonal variety shows, is set to air for the first time at 10 p.m. on the 20th (Sunday), former MCs Lee Hye-young, Yoo Se-yoon, Lee Ji-hye, and Eun Ji-won will be joined by 'season 2 legend participant' Lee Da-eun as a new MC, drawing attention. In relation to this, Lee Da-eun recently participated in the studio recording of 'Single's Inferno 7', which is taking place in Australia, and introduced key points to look forward to this season through an interview.
First, Lee Da-eun said, "When I received the MC offer, I felt both surprise and pressure, and I contemplated participating, but I thought, 'Isn't there a need for someone who can empathize with the feelings of the singles more than anyone else?' and found the courage to proceed." Particularly, she noted, "During the first recording, my husband, Yoon Nam-ki, came to support me on-site, which was a great help. I cannot forget that moment when we held hands tightly just before the recording in the waiting room," revealing her affection for Yoon Nam-ki, a fate that 'Single's Inferno 2' brought together.
Regarding the 'Single's Inferno' Season 7 cast that Lee Da-eun encountered first in the studio, she said, "Everyone is honest and active with their feelings, so they seem to reveal not only their affections for each other but also conflicts without hiding them. The vivid emotional lines bring immersion to the highest level and will be the key point to watch this season." Also, as a 'legendary senior,' regarding whom she has a 'sense' among the cast, she mentioned, "As I watched the videos, I felt a couple that shares the 'eye contact' that I exchanged with Yoon Nam-ki during my season 2 participation," adding, "You can expect a couple that feels a similar vibe to us," raising anticipation.
Additionally, Lee Da-eun stated, "The 'Single's Inferno' series is also well-known as a 'current couple's paradise,' and I have taken on the role of a 'reporter' to convey updates about the 'current couples' who participated in previous seasons, as well as other participants," hinting at her unique contributions as an MC. Finally, she expressed, "As 'Single's Inferno' has become the second starting point of my life, I want to be an MC who listens to the participants' stories with a deeper and warmer heart and empathizes with them," and added, "Though the sense of responsibility is heavy, I will participate with genuine support.
1. Could you share your thoughts and determination about becoming the MC of 'Single's Inferno 7'?
-I feel truly meaningful and thankful to be part of the program 'Single's Inferno', which has become the second starting point of my life. I want to be someone who listens to the participants' stories and empathizes with them with a deeper and warmer heart. Though the sense of responsibility is heavy, I will wholeheartedly support them.
2. Could you tell us about your feelings when you were first offered the MC position for 'Single's Inferno 7'?
-When I received the offer, I felt surprise and pressure simultaneously. All four existing MCs have great experience and a strong presence, and I thought, 'Can I really do well among them?' But the thought that 'isn't there a need for someone who can empathize with these feelings more than anyone else?' gave me the courage to accept. Above all, during the first recording, my husband, Yoon Nam-ki, was present, and that was truly a great strength! I will never forget that moment when we held hands tightly just before the recording in the waiting room.
3. After joining Season 7, it must feel special to observe the participants in the studio. What do you find most relatable about them?
-During the early schedule of 'Single's House', the awkward and tense moments I feel when I sit down are something that can only be understood by experiencing them. That aspect resonated with me the most, and the atmosphere and emotional lines in the conversation, where everyone is cautious of each other, came alive more than anything else.
4. What do you think is the biggest distinguishing feature of Season 7 compared to previous seasons?
-All the participants are honest and active with their emotions. Their expressions are clear, and it seems they reveal their affections and conflicts toward others without holding back. I believe the vivid emotional lines will be the key point of immersion in this season. Especially, there are many unexpected developments, so I assure you that it will be much more enjoyable to watch.
5. As a 'legendary participant' who achieved everything from love, current couple, remarriage, to childbirth through 'Single's Inferno 2', are there any couples you sense might get remarried?
-I am not certain, but there was a couple that made me think, 'Ah! These two clearly have something going on.' It comes through their eye contact rather than words. Perhaps because I remember exchanging those kinds of glances with Yoon Nam-ki during Season 2, I felt a similar atmosphere to that time. Please look forward to it!
6. I heard you have been assigned a special mission this season.
-I have taken on the role of a reporter to convey updates about the previous 'Single's Inferno' participants. Since I am also a participant, I believe I can sincerely relay their stories like no one else. I will occasionally introduce the stories that the viewers may be curious about regarding the situations of the current couples in the 'current couple's paradise' of Single's Inferno.
7. Finally, could you say a few words to the cast of 'Single's Inferno 7' and the viewers?
-To the participants, standing in front of the camera after experiencing the pain of divorce takes a lot of courage. It seems that all the participants have a strong desire to love again. I deeply support their choice to rewrite their lives anew. And to the viewers, I hope you will watch this season with a warm perspective along with me. I hope that someone's courageous story can provide comfort to another.
