On the 16th, her agency Management Gu said, "Actor Lee Yo-won is joining KBS2's Mr. House Husband 2 as the new MC and will take on her first regular variety show hosting role," adding, "We expect a new transformation from the veteran actress."
Since debuting in 1998 with the film Namja-ui Hyanggi, Lee Yo-won has been loved for showing a wide acting range and steady acting skills in numerous works such as Please Take Care of My Cat, Queen Seondeok, The Great Doctor, and Empire of Gold. This year she returned to the screen after eight years with the film Gwishindeul and continues her active work.
Recently she appeared on various variety programs such as SBS's Take Off Your Shoes and Dolssing Foreman, My Little Old Boy and the YouTube channel Noppakku Tak Jae-hoon, showing an honest and down-to-earth charm that had not been seen before. With witty talk and natural reactions she brought laughter to viewers and earned praise as an actor who works well in variety shows. This appointment as a regular MC is an extension of those activities and heralds a new leap for actor Lee Yo-won.
Attention inside and outside the broadcasting industry is focused on the fact that a veteran actor in her 28th year since debut is challenging her first regular variety MC role. In particular, Lee Yo-won, who married early and has maintained a family life, taking on the role of host for Mr. House Husband season 2 is being evaluated as a "perfect casting." Expectations are already rising for the life wisdom, household know-how and realistically empathetic talk she will convey. With Lee Yo-won's characteristic wit and girlish smile, she is expected to deliver empathy and laughter to viewers.
Her agency Management Gu said, "Lee Yo-won, who has shown deep acting skills through films and drama, will show another charm in this life-oriented variety show," and asked viewers to look forward to her honest and pleasant side as a first regular variety MC.
The newly revamped Mr. House Husband season 2 airs on KBS2 every Saturday at 10:45 p.m. Lee Yo-won's addition is expected to bring even more lively and relatable talk.
This MC appointment is seen as a signal that Lee Yo-won, who has focused on acting, is expanding her activities into the new field of variety shows and is expected to be a turning point to fully show her diverse charms. Public and industry interest is intensely focused on Lee Yo-won's moves.
