Sep 19, 2025

As a result of Sports Chosun coverage, EJ joins the SBS music program Inkigayo as the new MC.
After the broadcast on the 14th, Zero Base One Han Yu-jin and actor Moon Sung-hyun, who got off the show, will take over the microphone. Eui-joo will host the stage under a 3MC system with Ives Lee Seo and TWS Shin Yu.
In particular, Ui-ju's selection as an MC is all the more meaningful as she is about to make her official debut in Korea. Antim, who debuted in Japan in 2022 as a member of Hive Labels Japan, has established a presence in the country with a million seller, and will accelerate its global activities with its official debut in Korea in October.
There have been surprise appearances on music shows with the Korean version of the original Japanese song, but this is the first time for an official album activity. At the same time, he is a regular MC, drawing attention. Given that leader Eui-joo was selected as a music broadcasting MC even before her official domestic debut, it is considered a symbolic move to announce the entry of Antim into the Korean market.
The MC position of 'Inkigayo' is considered to be the entrance of idols by numerous global K-pop stars such as Black Pink Jisoo, GOT7 Jinyoung, SEVENTEEN Mingyu, Monsta X Minhyuk and Hyungwon, NCT DOYOUNG and JAEHYUN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER YEONJUN, TREASURE JIHOON, Rise SUNGCHAN, and IVE Ahn Yujin.
Through this stage, EJ is also expected to start full-fledged domestic activities by showing her hosting skills, entertainment senses, and visuals at the same time.
In addition, the 3MC combination with Ives Lee Seo and Tours Shinyu is also an expectation point. Attention is focusing on how the chemistry of the three idols representing Generation Z will create synergy.
SBS Music Broadcasting Program 'Inkigayo' airs every Sunday.
