As the public recording of ‘National Singing Contest’ is imminent, interest in presenter Song Hae’s health status, successor host, and MC continues.
The public recording of ‘KBS National Singing Contest’ will be held on the 7th in Yangju, Gyeonggi Province.
On the 16th of last month, Songhae announced her position on the nationwide singing contest.
Songhae said, “Isn’t it difficult to be the host of the ‘National Singing Contest’ anymore?”
However, the production team said that Song Hae’s departure has not been confirmed.
It is also known that he started looking for a successor host with various possibilities in mind.
Lee Sang-byeok and Lee Su-geun are mentioned as MCs to succeed Song Hae.
Song Hae also mentioned Lee Sang-byeok as the successor MC last year.
He said, “Among my juniors, all the people who do comedies stand in that line,” he said.
On the other hand, KBS held the ‘Registration Certificate Delivery Ceremony’ on the 23rd of last month and congratulated Song Hae, who has been active as the host of ‘National Singing Contest’, the longest-running TV show in Korea, for entering the Guinness World Record.
In the category of nomination, ‘Oldest TV music talent show host’, the world record entry was finally confirmed at the end of last month following careful review including data review and supplementation request by the Guinness expert jury.
Born in 1927, Song Hae made his debut through the Changgong Music Theater in 1955, and has been the MC of the National Singing Contest since 1988 and has been broadcasting the National Singing Contest for 34 years.
