'Park Bo-gum's Cantabile' tapped into romance and emotion on Friday night.
On the afternoon of Dec. 14, the first broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'The Seasons - Park Bo-gum's Cantabile' (hereafter 'Cantabile') featured Park Bo-gum's perfect initiation as an MC. Park Bo-gum appeared on the opening stage singing Melomance's 'Let's Take a Short Break,' eliciting cheers from the audience filling the venue.
The first guest was composer Noh Young-sim, who led the start of KBS's music talk show 'Noh Young-sim's Small Concert.' Park Bo-gum revisited the history of KBS's music talk show with Noh Young-sim and showcased perfect harmony while playing Kim Kwang-min & Yiruma's 'On the Way to School' on the piano together. Additionally, when Park Bo-gum sang 'Photo Album' accompanied by Noh Young-sim's piano performance, he became emotionally touched.
During the first recording, Park Bo-gum appeared to be somewhat nervous and made a cute mistake. While interviewing Noh Young-sim, he searched for his handwritten notes and rummaged through cue cards, saying, "Where did it go? It's disappeared. I can't think of the next part. I would appreciate it if that could be edited out," which drew laughter.
Next, actors Kim Yoo-jung, Jinyoung, and Kwak Dong-yeon, who appeared together in the drama 'Moonlight Drawn by Clouds' nine years ago, showed up to support Park Bo-gum's new beginning. The four of them, who have maintained a long-standing connection, shared memories related to the drama and also participated in the 'Supernova' challenge left as homework by former MC Lee Young-ji. Park Bo-gum expressed gratitude and unreserved affection for his fellow actors, who even prepared a surprise event for him.
Welcoming the next guest, singer Jung Joon-il, Park Bo-gum continued the warm atmosphere by discussing music with him. To celebrate the first broadcast, Jung Joon-il prepared 'My Person,' an OST from 'Moonlight Drawn by Clouds,' which Park Bo-gum performed with him, singing along to his piano play and thrilling the audience with their beautiful tones.
In the end, Park Bo-gum created a playful chemistry with the guests 'Hoshi X Woozi' who visited 'Cantabile.' He reflected on his relationship with SEVENTEEN, which has continued from his time as an MC on 'Music Bank' through various award ceremonies. Additionally, their unrestrained 'praise relay' for each other further heated the atmosphere, showcasing the skill and naturalness of an experienced music broadcast MC.
Park Bo-gum also adorned the ending stage of 'Cantabile's' first broadcast. He parodied part of the lyrics from IU's 'Meeting on Friday' into 'Gyeomyoil' to serenade the audience and viewers, then came down to the audience to distribute gifts, creating unforgettable and precious memories.
In this way, Park Bo-gum successfully wrapped up his first hosting of 'Cantabile,' leveraging his proficient hosting skills and unique bright and warm energy, sweet tone, vocal talent, and infinite love for music. Park Bo-gum shared his thoughts on the first broadcast, saying, "It was a precious and happy first recording to be able to be together with senior Noh Young-sim and senior Seon Woo-jung, whose visit was like the spring sunshine, Kim Yoo-jung, Jinyoung, and Kwak Dong-yeon, filled with joy, the sweet voice of senior Jung Joon-il that makes one want to hug, Hoshi X Woozi, who radiated the brilliance of youth, and youngji, who added the rainbow-colored power of support. I sincerely thank you all!"
