Yoona, a member of Girls' Generation and actress, has opened up about her feelings on stepping down as MC for MBC Gayo Daejejun after 10 incredible years!

In a recent video uploaded on January 7 to Hyeri’s YouTube channel, Hyel’s Club, Yoona reflected on her time as the beloved MC for the year-end show and shared what it means to leave after a decade-long run. Her final show, the 2024 MBC Gayo Daejejun WANNABE, marked the end of an era.

Yoona expressed, "Every year at the end of the year, I was always in a dress, counting down. Now that I won’t be doing it, I wonder, 'What will this year’s end of the year feel like?' I’m curious. I think it will feel strange, and a little empty."

She continued, "Every time I did Gayo Daejejun, I used to say, 'I want to complete at least 10 years.' And I really did complete 10 years. I’m so happy and think it’s really cool." Yoona then added, "When you accomplish something for 10 years, it makes me feel like I’ve become a professional in this field."

Yoona began her role as the main MC for MBC Gayo Daejejun in 2015, quickly becoming a staple of the show. However, after the December 31st recording for the 2024 MBC Gayo Daejejun WANNABE, Yoona decided to step down from the role.

Through her agency, Yoona shared, "I’ve reached my 10th year as the MC for MBC Gayo Daejejun. 10 years is a significant period, and it has been meaningful to spend this time. I’m grateful to everyone who was with me, and I ask for your support for the final show in 2024, which will remain a warm memory for me."

Fans are sure to miss Yoona’s bright presence as the MC, but her legacy in the role will surely remain cherished.

The upcoming SBS drama Love Scout, starring Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk, is already making headlines—but for all the wrong reasons.

Recent revelations about the show’s co-director, Ham Joon Ho, have sparked controversy. It was revealed that Ham Joon Ho had faced legal issues in 2020 for assault and defamation while intoxicated.

This incident led to disciplinary action within SBS and has raised questions about his involvement in the new project.

On January 13, the production team of Love Scout released an official apology, saying, "We deeply regret causing concern with unpleasant news related to PD Ham Joon Ho."

They confirmed the allegations, stating, "It is true that PD Ham Joon Ho was accused of assault and defamation while intoxicated in early 2020. However, he sincerely apologized to all victims, and the matter was resolved through forgiveness and mutual agreement."

They added, "He also received legal punishment for the incident. Additionally, reports about his prior criminal record from five years ago are unrelated to this case, as they involve a misdemeanor."

The team explained that Ham Joon Ho was suspended from his duties following the incident and spent three years reflecting on his actions before returning to directing. They added, "We kindly ask for viewers’ understanding."

The controversy began after online posts brought up the 2020 incident, sharing a news article from that time. The article described an SBS drama department employee, referred to as “A,” causing a disturbance in Hannam-dong, Seoul, while intoxicated. Police booked “A,” and due to their prior criminal record, an arrest warrant was requested but later denied.

It was later confirmed that “A” was PD Ham Joon Ho. After serving his suspension, he made his directorial comeback with the SBS drama Payback before taking on Love Scout.

Despite the production team's apology, the controversy has cast a shadow over the highly anticipated drama, leaving viewers wondering how it will impact the show’s reception.
