Actor Park Bo-gum will appear as a relief pitcher to save KBS2's late-night music program The Seasons.

The production presentation of 'The Seasons - Park Bo-gum's Cantabile' was held at KBS Art Hall in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the 11th. MC Park Bo-gum, bandmaster Jeong Dong-hwan, PD Choi Seung-hee, PD Son Ja-yeon, and PD Choi Ji-na attended the scene.

Park Bo-gum, who is about to record for the first time on this day, will play as the new MC of 'The Seasons-Park Bo-gum's Cantabile'. As he joined the show as the first actor MC of "The Seasons", prospective viewers' interest is also heating up. He took the hosting microphone for the first time in 10 years since "Music Bank"KBS Music Late-night Talk Show has been held for 33 years, so I grew up watching not only the guests who went through all the episodes but also the MCs. "It's an honor to be the MC. 'Cantabile' means 'as if singing' and the musical term 'Dakapo' means 'to go back to the beginning and' In my personal wish, I want to go back to my original mind and continue to communicate with many musicians. It is also reassuring to have music director Kang Seung-won, who has been there for 33 years, and maestro Jeong Dong-hwan, who will shine our music beautifully. I'm going to host with the heart of a new employee, and I hope our program will be a happy music trip for everyone."

Park Bo-gum, who debuted in the film 'Blind' in 2011, has shown consistent love for music so far, participating in OSTs, releasing music, and appearing in musicals while acting. In addition, he showed outstanding singing skills and piano performance in 'Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook' and 'The Seasons-Zico's Artist' and has a special relationship with KBS late-night music programs. As such, it is rumored that Park Bo-gum also created the program title himself with deep affection for the upcoming host 'The Seasons'.

In response, Park Bo-gum first greeted him as the MC of 'Music Bank 10 years ago, and I think I have a deep relationship with KBS. He also acted in the genre of a music drama in KBS' one-act drama 「Tomorrow, too, Cantabile」, and it seems that the memories of that time remain good and are being talked about as a scene to viewers. I also wanted to create a program called `Cantabile' under my name, which became the content that became the show afterwards, and met with fans from all over the world. We are also grateful to the production team for accepting the title."

Earlier, Park Bo-gum's former MC, Lee Young-ji, laughed by leaving advice that if you are an MC of `The Seasons" at the last recording of 'The Seasons', you should know how to dance 'Supernova' of Espa. After hearing this, Park Bo-gum thanked Young-ji for saying 'You are a good boy' on other broadcasts (laughs). Since I can't dance as well as Youngji, I think I need to study more or get some dance training from her"I heard that the prompter often turns off during recording, but I will familiarize myself with the script with the hope that the prompter will not turn off with all the staff including the writer." And I want to study hard about the musicians who appear as guests and chat with the audience," he expressed his ambition.

Starting with 'Park Jae-beom's Drive' in February 2023, 'The Seasons' has featured 'Choi Jung-hoon's Night Park', 'Akmu's OnalObam', 'Lee Hyo-ri's Red Carpet', 'Zico's Artist', and 'Lee Young-ji's Rainbow'. It raised expectations for the program by recruiting stars as MCs, but fell into a swamp of sluggishness, recording 0-1% ratings for two consecutive years.

Producer Choi responded, `I've seen a lot of articles about ratings, and I'm thinking heavily about this. However, our program is broadcasting at 10 p.m. every Friday, and tens of billions of dollars of dramas are broadcast on other channels at that time. If the indicator of ratings was the most important program, we wouldn't be introducing rookies every Friday evening like this."

In the meantime, "We are determined to keep the last remaining music program with the production cost 30 years ago. I feel great value in steadily providing a place for rookies to stand. Of course, we are well aware that we cannot tell you everything just by value. "I'm deeply reflecting on what you pointed out, so I hope you watch it with affection," he said.




Meanwhile, 'The Seasons - Park Bo-gum's Cantabile' will premiere on KBS2 at 10 p.m. on the 14th.
