Actor Eom Tae-goo is taking on the challenge of being a variety show MC for the first time since his debut.
Eom Tae-goo will serve as the sole MC for the new web variety show 'Simple Labor: Workman Special Edition' produced by HLL Studio Dot. This program is a 'simple labor talk show' that encompasses growth, humor, and healing, and will unfold various stories against the backdrop of busy hands rather than words.
The main poster released on the 20th features the phrase "A talk show where hands are faster than words," showcasing Eom Tae-goo in a work vest, holding a pink glue gun in one hand and a doll in the other, gazing seriously at the camera. The contrast between his serious expression and the cute props creates a delightful harmony, heightening curiosity and anticipation for the program.
Eom Tae-goo has previously appeared as a guest in various variety shows and content, including tvN's 'House on Wheels 1', 'You Quiz on the Block', 'Three Meals a Day: Light', YouTube's 'UV Bang', and 'Salon Drip 2', leaving a strong impression on viewers with his fresh charm that was not seen in existing variety shows.
Having made a strong presence through charismatic performances in films like 'The Age of Shadows', 'A Taxi Driver', and 'Night in Paradise', as well as dramas like 'Save Me 2' and 'Lighting Store', expectations are high for Eom Tae-goo's unexpected charm as a novice variety show MC. In particular, his clumsy yet sincere demeanor is expected to provide viewers with a unique enjoyment.
Eom Tae-goo expressed, "Since this is my first challenge, I had a lot of concerns, but I decided to go for it thinking that fans would like it. Above all, I was impressed by the production team's words, 'I hope the set is a joyful time for Eom Tae-goo.' Although I feel pressure and tension, I will do my best to enjoy the filming. If even one viewer can smile while watching this program, I would be really happy."
Eom Tae-goo's MC debut ceremony, 'Simple Labor: Workman Special Edition', will premiere its first episode on the 'Workman' YouTube channel on the 28th at 6 PM.
