JKS said, “I’m now full of excitements and expectations to appear on TV after a long interval. And it’s not my acting activity. That means more. I’ve had some experiences as a MC and a DJ before, but to become a messenger of TV program to develop girls’ group is my first challenge. I feel the burden, but at the same time, that inspires a feeling of responsibility.” He added, “I couldn’t be prouder if my experience would help the trainees, but I’m sure I will learn a lot from them, too. I expect we will learn a lot from each other. And you’ll see new Jang Keun Suk through this program in 2016. Please look forward to it.”
