Entertainment Awards Lee Chan-won → Military Problem Rookie Park Seo-jin, KBS' new son...I got a trot party, too.



Lee Chan-won and Park Seo-jin became the Son of KBS.

On the 8th, the lineup of KBS New Year's special Trot Festival The Collar (hereinafter referred to as Trot Festival) was unveiled. Lee Chan-won will be the sole MC for the 'Trot Festival', and Kim Yeon-ja, Jin Sung-shin, Park Hye-shin, Ahn Sung-hoon, Park Seo-jin, Son Tae-jin, Kim Hee-jae, Yang Ji-eun, Oh Yu-jin, Hong Ji-yoon, Soyeon Kim, Hwang Min-woo, and Hwang Min-ho have confirmed their appearance.

Among them, the most prominent names are Lee Chan-won and Park Seo-jin.




Lee Chan-won, who succeeded in winning the grand prize of the '2024 KBS Entertainment Awards', was the sole MC. Last year alone, Lee Chan-won appeared in 'Immortal Songs', 'New Release Pyeon Restaurant', 'High-End Salt Man', 'Secret of the Celebrity Soldier'. Last Chuseok, I communicated with fans with a solo show 'Lee Chan-won's gift'. In recognition of his performance, he won the Entertainment Awards trophy even though he was not an entertainer in his 20s.

After winning the award, Lee Chan-won first set foot on KBS in 2008 'National Singing Contest', made his official debut in 2020, and worked with KBS on many programs. KBS is like my family, which gave birth to me, raised me, and gave me an honorable award, and it's like my hometown. I was often told why the singer was so focused on singing. The broadcast was so good since I was young. I don't think I'll ever give up my path as a broadcaster or entertainer in the future."

As he said, Lee Chan-won will take his first test as a solo MC by hosting 'Trot Festival'.

Park Seo-jin also has a special relationship with KBS. Last year, Park Seo-jin was embroiled in a controversy over lying about military exemption. Controversy has been raised that Park Seo-jin deceived fans by interviewing them as if he was going to the military after receiving an exemption from the military early due to depression caused by his two brothers' deaths and his mother's unfortunate family history, such as cancer.

Park Seo-jin was afraid that he would not be able to perform as a singer if he was found to have been exempted from military service due to mental illness" he once explained. However, the public opinion was divided in half even with Park Seo-jin's apology and explanation. As much as the fans who surrounded and defended him, there were also many voices calling for Park Seo-jin to get off.

However, KBS did not let go of Park Seo-jin's hand until the end. While pushing ahead with the appearance of "The Living Men Season 2", he even returned the honor of receiving the Rookie of the Year award, which can only be received once in a lifetime, with this program.




In this way, KBS opens the New Year with the sons of KBS. He is determined to prepare a spectacular festival to prove the present and future of 'K-trot' to mark the national holiday.

'Trot Festival' will be recorded at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul, at 7 p.m. on the 23rd and will be broadcast on KBS2 at 7 p.m. on the 29th.
