Jun Hyun Moo announcer signs with SM C&C

SM C&C has recruited another MC to their growing list in Jun Hyun Moo.

It has been revealed through a staff member that, “KBS announcer Jun Hyun Moo has agreed to sign with SM C&C.  Barring any changes, he will go over to SM C&C.  With the signing of Jun Hyun Moo, and that of Kang Ho Dong along with Shin Dong Yup, SM C&C is gathering quite a number of MCs.”

Jun Hyun Moo has decided to sign with SM C&C after six months of pondering his next move.  Jun Hyun Moo also has talent in other fields such as in variety shows and has great energy and so Lee Soo Man himself went to recruit him personally.  Jun Hyun Moo carefully considered options with many other agencies but in the end decided to sign with SM.

With the signings of Kang Ho Dong, Shin Dong Yup, and now Jun Hyun Moo, SM C&C is gathering a lot of attention in the entertainment world.

A person in the industry said, “Girl’s Generation, BoA, Super Junior, and the rest of the singers have a strong hold on hallyu but now with the signing of MCs, if they decide to enter and produce in the variety show field, the affects will be tremendous.  Even the stock market is paying close attention to the happenings at SM C&C.”  It seems with the signing of Kang Ho Dong and Shin Dong Yup, the stock of SM has been steadily going up.

Davichi’s Kang Min Kyung has a rocky start to her MC debut on “Immortal Song 2″

Kang Min Kyung made her MC debut stage on May 12th’s airing of KBS‘ “Immortal Song 2“. Although she has appeared on the show before, she looked nervous since this was her first time being on stage as an MC.

Her nerves were shown through her ‘out of the blue’ questions. Not paying attention to the flow of the show, she asked questions that came to her mind such as asking about “thoughts on having the first stage” and “thoughts after seeing a performance.”

Even the veteran MCs Jun Hyun Moo and Moon Hee Jun seemed thrown off by her mc-ing style.

But this wasn’t all. Kang Min Kyung interviewed the guests too quickly and the other MCs asked her, “Why are you interviewing them so quickly” and Kang Min Kyung pointed at Sonya at the other side of the room as she answered, “I wanted to get a chance to interview Sonya.”

The guests couldn’t help but laugh as Kang Min Kyung chose to interview one by one instead of directly addressing the person she wanted to interview in the first place.

Although she has proven herself as an artist, she was still a rookie MC and seemed a little tense as she spoke very clearly.

The others laughed as she enunciated every words as she asked Sung Hoon, who has been maintaining his undefeated title for 5 weeks in a row, “I’m excited for what Sung Hoon will show on stage today.”

It was a little awkward since it was her first time, but the viewers could see that MC Kang Min Kyung was trying hard. The show became more entertaining thanks to her awkward mc-ing and her hate-love romance with Huh Gak.

IU sketches a “racy peach”

IU shared a picture of an interesting peach she sketched.

On May 1st, IU tweeted, “Racy peach… Let’s try again with an innocent mind,” and revealed the drawing above.

It seems that the singer referred to the drawing of the peach as “racy“ because the bottom of the fruit is a bit reminiscent of a person’s bottom.

KBS announcer Jun Hyun Moo saw the picture and replied, “IU, you’re all grown up now, posting up pictures like this. As an uncle, I’m proud of you.”

Followers also commented, “Naughty IU! Cute,” “Cute IU no matter what she does,” “The uncle fans are going wild,” and “It’s funny that Jun Hyun Moo is proud of her.”
