[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Actress Kim Hayoung recently explained the background of her appointment as MC of MBC's 'Surprise Pick.'

On the 21st, Kim Hayoung wrote on her Instagram, "'Surprise Pick' is a new attempt for the time being, and I am temporarily in charge of the early hosting as a trial," adding, "Until it settles, I am just temporarily doing it because I have appeared on Surprise the longest and my face is familiar."

She continued, "But on the bulletin board, comments like 'Are you trying to promote Kim Hayoung? Stay as a reenactment actor'?you must have thought before saying that, right? All kinds of criticism," she pointed out.

She added, "I am still not used to this new attempt and want to focus only on acting, so I have already asked to change the Surprise Pick MC quickly," and "I am just an actor filming according to the production team's decision. Instead of support, you are giving criticism," she said.

Kim Hayoung is one of the representative actors of MBC's long-running program 'Mystery TV Surprise,' which aired in 2002. Earlier, on the 14th, the 'Surprise' team established the 'Surprise Pick' corner and selected Kim Hayoung as the MC.
