Actor Jang Keun Suk who plays a role of Mnet survival TV program ‘Produce 101’ messenger contributed to success in the first broadcast.

In the ‘Produce 101’ broadcast on 22nd, JKS appeared as the MC / messenger, and a representative of national producers. From the beginning of the show, he showed a strong presence to ‘Asia Prince’. He introduced the intent with interesting stories in an understandable way. His superb way to proceed the show fascinated the audience.

Instead of national producers (TV viewers), JKS gives the 100 trainees assignments to evaluate and declares the poll results as a messenger.
Showing his unique way to talk and react, he exuded an aura. Everyone’s eyes were riveted on him. When he appeared, all trainees looked so surprised. Then, he asked them with a fresh smile, “Do you know who I am?” They answered, “You’re Mr. Jang Keun Suk!” He corrected, “I’m Asia Prince.” Like this, he made them laugh. At the same time, showing his charisma, he told them what kind of abilities are necessary to survive in a competitive society and united them firmly. His way to approach them was well-controlled, sometimes strictly, and other times tenderly. He looked their role model who is a successful actor and performer, and a good senior. Not only with the 101 girls but with 4 female trainers, he created a perfect teamwork. He is the only male who joins this project, but plays the role perfectly. We expect the future episodes.

Mnet survival TV program ‘Produce 101’ is a huge project that 101 female trainees gathered by 46 Korean entertainment agencies join to debut as a girl group. The final 11 members will be 100 percent selected by public viewers, voting on the official website (http://mnettv.interest.me/produce101/). Viewers can participate tightly to produce the group, deciding their concept, debut song, and the group name. This program goes on air every Friday 11pm on Mnet Channel.
