2PM Wooyoung, a genius in the making
Whether it's in education or music, or even an art practical exam, those that win first place know the feeling. It's easy to take first but it's hard to protect the spot. That's why being in first place is a fight against yourself. But this isn't just a story to the valedictorians of high schools, it's the same for celebrities. There's always a saying that follows celebrities wherever they go: "You might be at the top now but prepare your heart to drop at any minute."
However, there's a group that has surpassed all of the big name comeback stars and won first place for two weeks in a row. It's beastly idols 2PM. How are they now? Not only songs, but with the members' personal skills and talents, acting, varieties, MC'ing... They have been showing off their various talents in every area of their industry.
But there's one member that catches your eye, and he's none other than Wooyoung. They say that a true genius displays itself in its youth. 2PM is the beastly idol, loved by all. Called oppa to their younger fans and dongseng to their older, nuna fans. On stage, they run, drop, rip, and scream. A response like, 'wow, cool,' is automatic. But why am I comparing them to the youth? It's because he's still a rookie MC.
It's been barely three months since Wooyoung began MCing on 'Win Win.' But, already in the first episode, he was able to display his exceptional talent as an MC, variety idol, and MC idol. It's amazing how he was able to show all of that on the first MC show of his life.
Looking at past experiences, celebrities that first walk the path of an MC usually read straight off of the script because an MCing position is not something that is just easily overlooked. The nation is watching on without even a blink of their eyes.
Putting the viewers on the back burner for a second, what's the reality of Wooyoung's situation? There's at least 7-8 cameras in his along with a PD with a hard stare. There's writers, the audio team, light team, the audience, the onlooking manager along with the coordis. There's at least 100 people crowding around inside the recording studio. Everyone is staring at the MC on stage and so it is only definite for him to be nervous and shaky on his first day as an MC.
But how was Wooyoung! As I watched Wooyoung act as an MC on 'Win Win,' I slapped my knee. 'Aha, he is a capable MC!' Especially in the first episode, Wooyoung and Kim Seungwoo exxchanged short little conversations. As Kim Seungwoo was about to bunch his shoulders, Wooyoung sensibly adlibbed and stated, 'Next week!'
Even the producers on set claim that they were shocked at Wooyoung's quick reactions. As I was watching the broadcast, I felt a light bulb coming on in my head. It felt as if I had discovered something new. Wooyoung continued his adlibs on air, week by week. Maybe, but is that why? 'Win Win' has a lot of different points worth watching, but I find myself looking forward to Wooyoung especially, often wondering to myself, 'How will Wooyoung be today?' And week after week, Wooyoung has never disappointed me.
Borrowing a few of the words from the 'Win Win' producers, they say that the situation in the waiting room is as you see it. Wooyoung does a complete 90 degree bow to the senior MCs. And instead of excusing himself with, "It's because I'm a rookie MC..." he acts confidently with the mindset of wanting to work harder and not be overshadowed by others (This isn't him being cocky, but confident). So this is why I think he's able to be an MC without being intimidated by other things.
MC 'Wooyoung' has been included into my list of variety program MCs. But, what I feel automatically, is that Wooyoung will become something greater... is what I feel... but, whether that's true or not, we'll have to see.
