Actor Park Bo-gum is returning as a rookie to host a music talk show.

On the 11th, a production conference was held to commemorate the first broadcast of KBS2‘s late-night music talk show ‘The Seasons-Park Bo-gum’s Cantabile’. Park Bo-gum (MC), Jung Dong-hwan (Band Master), PD Choi Seung-hee, PD Son Ja-yeon, and PD Choi Ji-na attended the event.

Park Bo-gum said, “I first developed a relationship with KBS as a host 10 years ago when I hosted KBS‘s ‘Music Bank’. I also appeared in the KBS music drama ‘Tomorrow’s Cantabile’. KBS is a warm place to me. I‘m happy to be with ‘The Seasons’ for the seventh season of Lucky Seven,” explaining why he accepted the offer to be an MC.

Park Bo-gum also said, “Music talk shows have been going on for 33 years. I also grew up watching countless singers and hosts. Through ‘Cantabile’, I hope to go back to the very beginning and communicate with many people, be comforted by music, and have a fun time and space. I will approach it with the mindset of a new employee,” he said, explaining the direction of the program.

When he said, “Jung Dong-hwan composed a new signal song and I will write the lyrics. I am currently working on it”, Jung Dong-hwan said, “I made this while thinking of ‘Cantabile’ that starts in the spring”, and caught everyone’s attention by briefly sharing the song he was working on. In addition, Park Bo-gum will select the BGM (Bo-gum) and communicate with the audience during each on-site recording.

Park Bo-gum will be the host of the 7th season of ‘The Seasons’, following Park Jae-beom, Choi Jung-hoon, AKMU, Lee Hyori, Zico, and Lee Young-ji. The title is ‘Park Bo-gum‘s Cantabile’, which is a title that connects to the KBS2 drama ‘Tomorrow’s Cantabile’, which he starred in 11 years ago.

Park Bo-gum has consistently shown his love for music through his acting activities, OST participation, music releases, and musical appearances. He has also proven his hosting skills as an MC for ‘Music Bank’ and as a host for ‘Baeksang Arts Awards’ and ‘MAMA’.

‘The Seasons-Park Bo-gum‘s Cantabile’ will be first broadcast on KBS 2TV at 10 p.m. on March 14, White Day.
