According to Edaily on March 12th, Lee Yi-kyung has been appointed as the MC for ENA’s new program “University Songs”. It is reported that he is currently positively considering the offer after receiving the MC proposal recently.
“University Songs” is a program that aims to be a “K-Vintage Pop Survival”. The format includes participants competing on stages where they reinterpret classic songs from the 1970s to 1990s, a time when various music festivals were the gateway to becoming a singer. It is scheduled to begin airing in the first half of this year, and the winner will receive a prize of 100 million won and additional benefits such as releasing an album.
Lee Yi-kyung, who has been appointed as the MC, has demonstrated his hosting skills and wit on various entertainment programs such as MBC Every1’s “Tteokbokki House That Brother”, TVING’s “Zero Sum Game”, E Channel’s “Brave Detectives”, SBS Plus’s “I’m SOLO” and MBC’s “Hangout with Yoo”. In 2020, he also attracted attention by unexpectedly releasing the trot genre song “Leave work on time”.
Recently, he has also shown his presence in acting, playing the lead character Park Min-hwan in tvN’s drama “Marry My Husband”. It is of interest whether Lee Yi-kyung will continue his trending moves by actively participating as the MC on “University Songs”.
