Actress Moon Ga-young made a successful transition to her first variety show MC through "Steel Heart Club."
On the first broadcast on the 21st, "Steel Heart Club" is a global band-making project where individual contestants for each position—guitar, drums, bass, vocals and keyboard—compete fiercely to form the "final headliner band," using the romance of youth, raw emotion and onstage instinct as their weapons.
Moon Ga-young, who served as the sole MC of the music survival variety show, captivated viewers from the first broadcast with steady and confident hosting.
At the first meet-and-greet held in a studio inspired by a club, Moon Ga-young appeared in a black rider jacket and skinny pants with stylish item styling fitting the atmosphere, capturing the site's attention with a mature aura. Facing 50 contestants, she opened the program's curtain strongly by introducing the survival format and the first mission in a relaxed yet charismatic voice.
In the first round, "club audition," contestants faced off team versus team before an audience with live performances as the theme. The venue was filled with intense heat, and Moon Ga-young actively encouraged audience response and led the atmosphere with concise hosting. She showed her first role as a natural link connecting the stage, the audience and the screen.
Before the broadcast, Moon Ga-young said, I have always liked band music very much. I wanted to enjoy music live, so when I was offered the MC role I wanted to join and was grateful, revealing her special affection for music. She listened to contestants and directors between performances, breathed with them and heightened the audience's immersion with sincere appearances, conveying a vivid atmosphere.
In this way, Moon Ga-young revealed a new presence as an MC by raising the onstage energy with natural rhythm and flexible hosting. Having powerfully opened the program along with the passionate contestants' performances, anticipation is growing for what role Moon Ga-young will play in the journey to come.
Mnet's "Steel Heart Club" airs every Tuesday at 10 p.m.
