Kim Jong-kook and Dex are joining forces with Ma Dong-seok.
On the 23rd, the tvN entertainment show 'I Am a Boxer' announced to OSEN, "Kim Jong-kook and Dex will serve as MCs alongside Ma Dong-seok."
'I Am a Boxer' is an entertainment program in which Ma Dong-seok takes on his first lead role, featuring a massive boxing survival format. It promises an unprecedented scale of missions, locations both domestic and abroad, and a Hollywood movie-like spectacle, garnering attention as the most anticipated show for the second half of the year.
In particular, Ma Dong-seok has taken on everything from planning to granting. As a boxing coach and promoter, he is currently also active as the director at a boxing gym. He is determined to showcase 'real' boxing in this entertainment format. The final round is scheduled to take place at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, and among boxing fans, there is a response of, "This is the real deal."
Here, Kim Jong-kook and Dex will lend their strength. Kim Jong-kook has previously garnered attention for sparring with boxing legend Manny Pacquiao on the entertainment show 'Running Man', while Dex has showcased his physical prowess and athletic sense, stemming from his UDT background, in various sports survival shows.
The production is led by PD Lee Won-woong, known for creating 'Steel Troops' and '200 Million: War of Marriage', while the scriptwriter is Kang Sook-kyung from 'Physical: 100'.
Meanwhile, 'I Am a Boxer' will air on tvN at the end of the year and is scheduled for simultaneous streaming via global OTT services.
