So Jung-hwan of the group TREASURE, Park Geon-wook of ZEROBASEONE, and Gye Hun of KickFlip have become the new faces of 'M Countdown.'
Cable channel Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 11th unveiled the three-person MC lineup that will newly lead the program. The new MCs leading 'M Countdown' this year are solidly trained TREASURE member So Jung-hwan, energetic all-rounder ZEROBASEONE member Park Geon-wook, and talented KickFlip member Gye Hun with surprising charm. The three members, who are drawing attention in the K-pop scene, will work together as MCs and are expected to add fresh energy to the program each week.
The three MCs beginning a new journey raised fans' expectations as they expressed their sincere aspirations. So Jung-hwan, who has grown from the youngest in the team to a seventh-year veteran, said, "Just as TREASURE's intense performances give energy to many people, I too will, as an MC, carry on that atmosphere well and create a time when everyone can feel comfortable and enjoy themselves," and added, "Please give your warm interest and support going forward."
Park Geon-wook, who is taking over the baton from former MC and fellow team member Sung Hanbin, said, "I am so happy and honored to take this position that Han-bin hyung has cultivated for a long time. As a new MC, I will work even harder, so please watch over us," and expressed his bold determination, "I will fight together with the colleagues I will be working with."
Gye Hun, who emphasized his connection with M Countdown, which was his first music show stage after debut, said, "It is a great honor to now be able to work as an MC with senior and junior colleagues and fellow artists on the meaningful stage where I realized my debut dream," and added with wit, "I will contribute to promoting K-pop culture and, true to my name 'Gye Hun,' will show you my energy, so please look forward to it."
Mnet producers said, "The new rhythm created by three artists with different personalities will inject powerful vitality into M Countdown," and added, "Through the fresh chemistry and witty hosting they will create, we will present new enjoyment to global K-pop fans."
M Countdown, where So Jung-hwan, Park Geon-wook, and Gye Hun will offer their first greetings to global fans as rookie MCs, will air its first broadcast on the 12th at 6 p.m.
