Broadcaster Kim Sung-Ju expressed his gratitude as he wrapped up the long journey of "Miss Trot 4."
Kim Sung-Ju said through his agency on the 7th, "I am glad that we safely finished the Race this season as well amid a lot of interest and support. When conducting auditions for four months, unexpected situations big and small arise and you face hurdles, but I am truly thankful that we were able to finish this season without incident. The two live broadcasts will remain an unforgettable memory for me," he said.
This season too, Kim Sung-Ju once again showed the live broadcast hosting skills and management touch befitting Korea's representative MC. He flawlessly handled the semifinal "text vote live broadcast," introduced for the first time in the series, and the final live broadcast over two weeks by himself, and especially during the announcement of rankings in part 3 of the final, he recorded a peak viewership of 18.4% up to the moment he shouted "will be revealed in 60 seconds." At the moment new stars were born in the final, including Lee Sona (Jin), Her Chanmi (Seon), and Hong Sung-yoon (Mi), he calmly led the finale of the festival with warm reassurance for the nervous contestants and witty hosting that helped viewers immerse themselves.
Kim Sung-Ju has established himself not merely as a host but as a living testament to Korea's audition programs. From Mnet's "Superstar K," which sparked the audition craze, through the "Miss Trot" and Mr. Trot series, he has introduced outstanding stars such as Huh Gak, Ulala Session, Roy Kim, Song Gain, Lim Young-woong, and Ahn Sung Hoon to the public, perfectly performing his role as a solid guide to star-making.
In addition, having led long-running shows such as "King of Mask Singer" and "Chef & My Fridge," among others, Kim Sung-Ju has proven the title of "national MC" himself. The public is watching closely what steps he will take next as he remains at the center of the broadcasting world with his characteristic diligence.
