Actor Lee Soo-hyuk expressed his determination as he appears on a fixed variety show for the first time.

On the 21st at 1 PM, at the MBC Golden Mouse Hall in Sangam, Mapo-gu, Seoul, during the press conference for MBC's new variety program 'Kkirikkiri,' Lee Soo-hyuk opened up when asked about his reason for joining, saying, "I have never done variety shows before, but I really enjoyed watching them."

Lee Soo-hyuk said, "I couldn't do it myself, but I liked it. When I was contacted, even I wondered, 'Why did they call me?' I felt like I haven't shown much of myself to fans and the public, so I decided to appear. I chose to join because I could work with great people in a good time slot."

Regarding his first filming experience, he said, "So far, it still feels like watching TV. Everyone is very skilled and sensible. I hope to adapt quickly and create good chemistry together. Rather than trying to be funny or overacting, I will do my best with a sincere attitude," he promised.

Park Myung-soo, the eldest member of 'Kkirikkiri,' said, "I don't know why this guy is doing this. He could live enjoying wealth and fame without doing this. I thought he might act all serious and spoil the mood because he's so handsome, but he's very proactive," making everyone, including Lee Soo-hyuk, burst into laughter. He added jokingly, "He must find something challenging. He works harder than others. He will play a big role," offering his support.

Meanwhile, 'Kkirikkiri' features Park Myung-soo, Jang Sung-kyu, In Gyo-jin, Lee Soo-hyuk, Eun Ji-won, Hwang Kwang-hee, Infinite's Sung-kyu, Lee Yong-jin, Ha Seung-jin, and Jung Hyuk. It will air on the 26th at 5 PM.
