"I didn't know what I was doing back in the days because I had just debuted but I know how to control myself now and am more at ease so I think I'll be able to do a better job," an enthusiastic Kim explained.

He added that he plans be involved directly in the casting of the guests for his show -- actors Kang Ji-hwan, Lee Da-hae and Lee Wan are among the few whom he has asked to appear on the show, Kim said.
