Mnet’s hit music program 'M Countdown' has revealed its new lineup of MCs.
On March 11, Mnet confirmed that TREASURE’s So Jung Hwan, ZEROBASEONE’s Park Gun Wook, and KickFlip’s Kyehoon will be the show’s newest hosts, taking the stage to guide fans through weekly music performances.
Ahead of their debut as MCs, the three idols shared their thoughts and excitement about their new roles. So Jung Hwan expressed, “Just as TREASURE’s powerful performances give energy to many people, I will do my best as an MC to carry that atmosphere forward and create a space where everyone can feel comfortable and enjoy themselves together. I ask for your warm interest and support.”
Park Gun Wook, stepping into the role previously held by his ZEROBASEONE bandmate Sung Han Bin, said, “I’m very happy and honored to take on this position that Han Bin has cared for over such a long time. I will work even harder as a new MC, so please look forward to it. I will do my best together with my fellow hosts.”
Kyehoon shared a personal connection to the show because 'M Countdown' was where he first performed on a music program after debuting. He said, “It is a great honor to return to the stage where I achieved my dream of debuting. This time, I will be an MC alongside senior, junior, and fellow artists.” Adding a playful note, he continued, “Not only will I help spread K-pop culture, but I will also show ‘Kyehoon’-like energy, which is similar to the Korean word for refreshing. Please look forward to it.”
The Mnet production team commented, “The fresh chemistry created by these three artists, each with their own unique charm, will bring new energy to ‘M Countdown.’ Through their dynamic teamwork and witty hosting, we hope to deliver new enjoyment to global K-pop fans.”
'M Countdown' airs every Thursday at 6 p.m. KST.
