Eunbi, actually, I’m not the type of person who gets nervous usually
I am very nervous and shaky today
Why are you so nervous?
You are already in charge of 5 regular entertainment shows
No one doesn't know that Chan-won is a popular entertainment show and a ratings fairy
Wow, thank you

If I'm a fairy, you, Kwon Eunbi is goddess, right?

And today, you have even become the goddess of MC
