After Top K-Pop Stars, 'The Seasons' Welcomes Its First-Ever Actor MC in a Sensational Move!

KBS’s popular music talk show ‘The Seasons’ has made history by announcing its first-ever actor MC—Park Bo-gum.

Unlike traditional music programs, ‘The Seasons’ follows a year-round format, divided into four seasons, with each led by a different MC. This groundbreaking concept has made it one of the most talked-about season-based music shows, featuring hosts who bring their own distinctive style and artistic influence to the program.

The show kicked off with Jay Park as the inaugural MC of ‘The Seasons: Jay Park’s Drive’, setting the tone with his unfiltered energy and laid-back vibe. His tenure successfully established ‘The Seasons’ as a fresh and trend-forward program within the KBS late-night music show legacy, which has spanned over 30 years.

Following Jay Park, Choi Jung-hoon, the lead vocalist of indie band Jannabi, took over as the second host, bringing his signature artistic sensibility to the stage. The show then continued with AKMU (‘Onal-Obam’), Lee Hyori (‘Red Carpet’), and Zico (‘Artist’)—each adding their own unique musical perspective to the series.

The current season has been hosted by rapper Lee Young-ji since September 2024, but her time as MC will conclude with the final broadcast on February 21.

Park Bo-gum’s Unexpected Musical Journey

As anticipation builds around what Park Bo-gum will bring to the new season, fans are already familiar with his deep passion for music. Despite being widely known as an actor, he has consistently showcased his musical talents over the years.

In 2024, Park appeared on ‘The Seasons: Zico’s Artist’ alongside fellow actor Suzy, where the two performed “Somethin’ Stupid” (originally by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman) and “Remember Me” from the Disney film Coco. His smooth vocals and natural stage presence surprised many viewers, further solidifying his interest in music.

Park has also previously recorded OST tracks, including for his hit drama ‘Love in the Moonlight’, proving that his connection to music goes beyond casual interest. With this in mind, expectations are high for how he will lead the next chapter of ‘The Seasons’.

His first episode as host is already generating excitement, as audiences eagerly await what new perspectives, performances, and conversations he will bring to the beloved KBS music series.
