UP10TION fans were both surprised and impressed by his latest achievement. In less than a year, Kuhn successfully passed the audition for the position of a show host, showcasing his versatility and determination.
Securing a show host position in South Korea is no small feat. It involves not only rigorous auditions but also extensive training and a highly competitive selection process. Kuhn’s success in this area is a testament to his hard work and adaptability. Many fans and netizens congratulated him on social media, celebrating his perseverance and dedication to his new role.
UP10TION, formed by TOP Media in 2015, currently consists of seven members: Kuhn, Kogyeol, Bitto, Sunyoul, Gyujin, Hwanhee, and Xiao. The group debuted with their first extended play ‘Top Secret’. In 2017, they made their Japanese debut with the EP ‘ID’. Originally a ten-member group, UP10TION saw three members, Jinhoo, Lee Jin-hyuk, and Kim Woo-seok, depart on February 28, 2023.
Kuhn left TOP Media in March 2023 before enlisting for mandatory military service in the same month. He was discharged early in February 2024 due to medical issues.
Kuhn’s journey from idol to show host underscores the importance of versatility and continuous growth in the ever-evolving entertainment landscape. Fans remain excited to see how he will leverage his talents in his new career and continue to support him in all his future endeavors.
