In a new YouTube show, Girls' Generation Hyoyeon opened up about her concerns when she's interacting with younger idols.

On June 19, the YouTube channel "Hyo's Level Up" introduced a new web content titled, "Half Day Class."

In Episode 1, the idol-turned-entertainer invited JTBC announcer Kang Jiyoung to give her a special speech lecture.

Here, the 14-year announcer served as Hyoyeon's coach and lecturer on how to improve her speech, in able for her to maximize her skills and potential as a host.

To help her better, Kang then asked her what are her biggest concerns these days as an MC and Hyoyeon immediately opened up:

"I have another program where I buy meals for fellow idols. I do want to give them some advice myself.

But these days, what I'm most concerned about is being too old-fashioned. Because I have a lot of old-fashioned traits."

When lecturer Kang said that people who are T type tend to be like that, the idol added:

"But for the listener, it may feel good old-fashioned. But I get apprehensive wanting to avoid being old-fashioned, what can I do about that?"

Hearing her speak, announcer Kang then claimed that she is indeed old-fashioned, explaining that it is inevitable because of their age, whereas younger people categorize them as part of the old-fashioned group.

Although Hyoyeon is only 34 years old, she's already considered as a senior in the K-pop scene, with about 20 years of experience. As a result, she tend to share a lot of stories based on her experience back then.

In addition to this, she's also from the early 2nd-gen girl groups, whereas, current active junior idols were mostly from fourth and fifth-gen, thus, the gap and culture difference can be felt.

As an advice, Kang Jiyoung told the SNSD member:

"It's easier if you accept it. Second, say everything you want then say, 'Oh, was I a bit old-fashioned?' Cover it up like that, then it's fine. Just say, 'Oh, was I too old-fashioned? Agh.' and move on."

Kang Jiyoung then showed admiration for Hyoyeon by saying:

"And you might indeed be old-fashioned. With a high probability. I'm telling you, it's not easy to become old-fashioned. First, you have to survive in this industry for over 10 years."

Meanwhile, Hyoyeon first debuted in the music scene as a member of the "Nation's Girl Group" SNSD in 2007. Amid their hiatus in 2018, she then debuted as a DJ and she also pursued her soloist career in the same year with the release of her single, "SOBER," under the stage name, HYO.

Currently, she's also cementing her status as a host of various variety programs and is the host of her own YouTube channel.
