Broadcaster Kim Gura has been selected as the new MC for MBC Sports Plus' YouTube exclusive sports talk program "Stocking."
On the 20th, MBC Sports Plus announced that it will comprehensively overhaul "Stocking" starting on the 25th to introduce it anew. This revision aims to increase the program's variety and viewer satisfaction and will be conducted by alternating uploads of "Stocking" and "Stocking No Gura."
"Stocking," hosted by Kim Gura, is a program where he invites baseball figures or related persons to engage in in-depth talks with commentator Kim Sun-woo. While the existing "Stocking" focused on the guest's baseball life, the revamped version will introduce a clear topic each week to explore more specific stories. The production team expressed expectations, saying, "As a prominent baseball enthusiast in the entertainment world, Kim Gura will lead in-depth sports talks with his unique straightforward style and witty hosting."
"Stocking No Gura" is a corner hosted by broadcaster Kwak Soo-san and popular internet broadcaster Lilka, where they directly visit people around the baseball community to convey stories that fans are curious about on-site. Lilka, a popular YouTuber with over 1 million subscribers, is actively creating baseball content based on the recent interest in the KBO League.
According to the program revision, "Stocking" and "Stocking No Gura" will alternate broadcasts every two weeks. On March 25 and April 1, "Stocking" will be uploaded, while "Stocking No Gura" will be uploaded on April 8 and 15. The production team expects that this dual system will create synergy as different styles of talk shows coexist, similar to the past programs "Golden Fishery" and "Muripak Dosa" and "Radio Star."
With Kim Gura's addition, which is rarely seen in sports talk shows, attention is drawn to whether the revamped "Stocking" will capture the intense interest of baseball fans.
