Film industry raconteur Jang Hang-jun has been appointed as the main MC for MBN's four-part special program "Immortal Rivals."
The MBN program "Immortal Rivals," which will first air on the 27th, is based on the motto "the history of rivals is our history," and explores the tumultuous eras through the battles of century-old rivals. It summons legendary rivals who emerged during significant turning points in politics, economics, and culture, vividly recounting their fierce competition and the hidden stories behind them.
Main MC Jang Hang-jun presents the captivating stories of rivals who shook the eras with his lively wit and sharp insights. As a "multitalented movie entertainer," he leverages his rich directing experience and storytelling instincts to showcase witty talks infused with creative ideas, fully supporting the program's central theme.
The panel is also dazzling. Actor Kwon Yul, who has demonstrated a distinct presence across both dramas and entertainment, will serve as a 'field witness' to the rivalries in history, leveraging his unique sense and affinity. He is expected to engage with the emotions and situations of historical figures from the viewers' perspective, posing questions and digging into hidden stories as a 'curiosity conveyer.'
Actor Yulhee, a former member of the girl group "LABOUM," brings fresh perspectives and vibrant reactions that energize the program. She adds empathy and curiosity to historical narratives that may feel heavy, taking on the role of a generational empathy 'atmosphere maker' to engage diverse generations.
Additionally, a 'knowledge dream team' joins to enrich the depth of the program, enhancing its quality. Leading experts from various fields, including science writer Kwak Jae-sik, will gather to provide meticulous historical fact-checking and interesting interpretations, becoming a strong support group for the program. The combination of their expertise and Director Jang's storytelling is expected to showcase the essence of a 'premium history program' that captures both knowledge and entertainment.
