Girls' Generation member Yoona, who has hosted MBC's 'Gayo Daejejeon' for 10 years, stepped down from the show, and Annie has taken her place.
In a recently released video on the YouTube channel "Health Club," Yoona candidly said, "I did a countdown every year at the end of the year, and I wondered what it would be like if I didn't do it and thought it would feel empty."
She especially added, "I really wanted to complete 10 years. I'm happy to have achieved the goal, and I thought I was cool myself," and said, "If you consistently do one thing for 10 years, you feel recognized as a professional in that field." It was a remark that conveyed Yoona's pride and professionalism from maintaining her position steadily for 10 years.
Along with this, Annie, a member of All Day Project, was selected as Yoona's successor. On the 21st, agency The Black Label officially confirmed to OSEN that "Annie will take on the 'Gayo Daejejeon' MC role." Annie attracted attention as a third-generation member of the Shinsegae Group owner family even before her debut, and after debuting with the mixed-gender group All Day Project, several songs including "FAMOUS" and "WICKED" quickly became hits and received favorable reviews.
Held every Dec. 31 at the end of the year, 'Gayo Daejejeon' is a representative event that wraps up the year in the Korean music industry, and over the past 10 years it has been greatly loved for Yoona's hosting and her uniquely steady MC charm. Starting this year, Annie, who brings youthful and fresh energy, will take over from Yoona as the new host, drawing attention to how she will change the atmosphere of the year-end stage.
Yoona described her departure as an MC by saying, "There will be emptiness, but I'm proud to have achieved the 10-year goal," and at the same time expressed support for her successor's new challenge as she hands over the role. As fans and the industry applaud Yoona's 10 years of service, anticipation is building for the first 'Gayo Daejejeon' stage led by Annie.<
