Park Bo-gum, along with Noh Young-sim, recounted the chronology of the KBS music talk show and performed Kim Kwang-min & Iruma's 『The Way to School』 on the piano together, showing perfect chemistry. In addition, when Park Bo-gum sang 'photo album' to Noh Young-sim's piano performance, his eyes were teary.
Actors Kim Yoo-jung, Jin-young, and Kwak Dong-yeon, who appeared together in the drama 「Dark Moonlight」 that aired nine years ago, appeared to cheer for Park Bo-gum's new start. The four people, who have been together for a long time, shared memories related to the drama, and also participated in the 'Supernova' challenge, which MC Lee Young-ji left as her homework in the previous season. Park Bo-gum expressed gratitude and generous affection for his fellow actors who even prepared a surprise event for him.
Park Bo-gum, who welcomed singer Jung Joon-il as the next guest, continued his warm atmosphere by talking about music with him. In celebration of the first broadcast, Jung Joon-il prepared 'My Person' sung by Park Bo-gum among the OSTs of 'Gureumi-painted Moonlight', and Park Bo-gum shuddered the audience with a beautiful tone while singing together to his piano performance.
Park Bo-gum also created a lively chemistry with guest 'Hoshi X Woozi', who last visited 'Cantabile'. Park Bo-gum recalled his relationship with SEVENTEEN, which has been going through awards ceremonies since his time as MC of 『Music Bank』. In addition, he warmed the atmosphere further with an outspoken 'Compliment Relay' toward each other, showing his experience as a music broadcasting MC and naturalness.
Park Bo-gum also decorated the ending stage of the first broadcast of 'Cantabile'. Park Bo-gum serenaded the audience and viewers by rewriting some of IU's lyrics 'See You on Friday' and handed out gifts to create unforgettable memories.
As such, Park Bo-gum successfully completed the first hosting of 'Cantabile' based on his skillful hosting skills, unique bright and warm energy, sweet tone and singing ability, and infinite love for music. Park Bo-gum said, `It was a precious and happy first recording because Roh Young-sim and Sunwoo Jung-ah's sunny visit to the spring day, Kim Yoo-jung, Jin-young and Kwak Dong-yeon, who were full of Raon, Jeong Joon-il's sweet voice to hug, Hoshi X Woo-ji, who radiates the brightness of youth, and Young-ji, who helped the rainbow cheer. Thank you all very much!," he said of his first broadcast.
'The Seasons' has struggled within the 0% range of viewership, causing boredom due to its repeated formatting. In response, there were also a line of responses asking why the program existed. Here, as Park Bo-gum appeared as a relief pitcher, the viewership of the first broadcast was 1.5% (Nilson Korea's national standard), raising questions about whether he can become a savior of 'The Seasons'.
