Actress Kim Hye-soo is well known for her creative range, and this time she is trying out for a more serious, worldly role.
The 39-year-old will host MBC's documentary program "W" and is expected to bring both style and information to the small screen.
"I will do my best to connect the viewers and the show", Kim said during an interview with the network.
"W" made headlines with its experimental and adventurous issues and footage from around the world, and after successful five years, the show decided to shift to a friendlier version. Kim was chosen to guide the viewers to that goal.
"`W' is one of those programs that I have personally followed over the years. I'm both excited and nervous (to host the show) at the same time. But a good kind of nervous", she said.
Amid all the entertainment programs showering viewers these days, "W" has been in the center of reminding television viewers of the hopes, concerts and tragedies happening around them. The program opened the eyes of viewers who considered current issues as something boring and difficult and Kim admitted that the show helped her learn a lot about her surroundings.
"Good deeds have been carried out by so many people before us. I was also affected by them and also the program: getting information, courage and actually starting to be more active. Healthy actions can create a healthy world", she said.
According to MBC, Kim chose Paul Newman as one of her favorite and most respected actors, not just because he was a respected entertainer, but because he took an important role in making the world a better place.
"Newman was an excellent actor, director and also a philanthropist and a successful entrepreneur. When I say successful, I don't just mean commercial success. He donated the proceeds from his company Newman's Own and also used organic ingredients for his food company. He was a successful actor, but an individual who reflected his beliefs onto society", she said.
"I hope `W' will continue the beliefs of the makers and bring more interesting and various issues to the small screen. As the host, I will work hard to connect the viewers with the subjects and hopefully bridge the gap between them and the world", Kim added.
"W" hosted by Kim will start airing on July 16 at 11:50 p.m.
