KBS2’s popular late-night music talk show “The Seasons” is entering an exciting new chapter as actor Park Bo Gum takes over as the new host.

‘The Seasons’ To Be Hosted By Park Bo Gum

On February 14, it was reported that Park Bo Gum has been selected as the new MC for the program, a role that marks a refreshing shift from the show’s previous singer-hosts. According to the report, the production team is busy coordinating the filming schedule and guest lineup, with plans for the season to premiere next month.

In response to the news, KBS officially confirmed, “Park Bo Gum will be the new MC of ‘The Seasons,’ following Lee Young Ji. However, the recording and broadcast schedule have yet to be finalized.” They added, “The subtitle for this new season has not been decided yet. Further details will be announced at a later date.” This confirmation has generated significant buzz among fans, who are eager to see how Park Bo Gum will bring his unique charm and versatility to the show.

Since its inception, KBS2’s “The Seasons” has featured a rotating roster of talented MCs, including notable figures such as Jay Park, Jannabi’s Choi Jung Hoon, AKMU, Lee Hyori, and Block B’s Zico. Lee Young Ji, who has been leading “The Seasons: Rainbow of Lee Young Ji,” is set to conclude her run with a final recording on February 18, marking the end of a memorable era.

Meanwhile, Park Bo Gum is also gearing up for the release of his upcoming Netflix series with IU, “When Life Gives You Tangerines.”
