Leeteuk was called “NATION’S MC” by Netizens for being talented, caring and for his ability to handle situations during Gaon Chart Kpop Awards
Talented, Caring… Leeteuk displays the possibility of him being he “Nation’s MC.”
Super Junior’s Leeteuk was MC for the 5th Gaon Chart Awards which has held on the 17th. Since 1st year, he was the MC for two consecutive years.
Leeteuk who was the MC together with Girls’ Day’s Hyeri last year, MC-ied together with Yura this year, who is from the same group.
The award ceremony started at 7 pm. Prior to that, Leeteuk & Yura had MC rehearsals from 3.30 pm. Because this ceremony is Yura’s 1st MC stage, it’s for sure that there will be situations where by she’s nervous, but there is Leeteuk by her side.
Starting from the rehearsel at 3.30 pm until the ceremony ended at 10.30 pm, reporters kept close and observed Leeteuk & Yura closely.
Leeteuk showcased his talent & capability since the rehearsal. Even though MC rehearsal are usually only to ensure that the event runs smoothly and are runned through quickly, Leeteuk still analysed each segment one by one dilligently. They had more than 4 runs for just the opening segment alone. If he is not satisfied with his own MC-ing, he will request to the production team, “let me try again.” During the rehearsal for the presentation of awards, Leeteuk once again showcased his wittiness. To that one staff who played the role as the award recevier during rehearsal, he said, “You look slimmer today”, “You really received a lot of awards today, congratulations” With a ment like that, he created a lot of laughter, making Yura who was at her first try of being an MC laugh too.
During the actual ceremony, everytime the MC segment ends, Leeteuk who will be sitting at the waiting area kept flipping through the script. Whenever Yura asks questions, Leeteuk will answer her kindly; When Yura accidentally makes mistake, he will react quickly and guide her, allowing the MC-ing to go on without any mistakes. Besides that, we also saw how Leeteuk felt how nervous Yura was, and hence let her smell the perfume he sprayed on his wrist, allowing her to put her attention on something else and not appear too nervous. Yura who had her nervousness removed because of Leeteuk, was able to whole heartedly cheer during Big Bang’s performance, enjoying her challenge of being an MC for the first time.
After the closing speech by the MCs, although the broadcast was over MC Leeteuk didn’t end there. Leeteuk first thanked audience with a 90 degree bow. And after that he ran over to shake hands with the fans near the stage, making poses so they could take photos, and expressed his gratitude to each and everyone of them.
Leeteuk who is like that can’t help but make people think of the “Nation’s MC” Yoo Jaesuk or Kang Hodong. It doesn’t matter whether the camera is rolling or not, he will always be taking care of the situation, showing care & concern towards the guests so thet they won’t be nervous and be able to showcase their talent.
As the MC of multiple shows, Leeteuk has already proven his real capabilities, holding his place as “MC Leeteuk” with his professionalism. Talented, caring and his ability to handle situations during an event; through this year’s Gaon Chart Kpop Awards, we have witnessed again how Leeteuk has what it takes to be the “Nation’s MC.”
