Kim Jong-min Joins 'The Return of Superman' as New MC, First Recording with RrraLaL!

Singer Kim Jong-min is set to become the new MC for the popular KBS2 variety show 'The Return of Superman' (hereinafter referred to as 'Shoe Doll').

According to OSEN's coverage on the afternoon of the 11th, Kim Jong-min will participate in his first recording as a new MC for 'Shoe Doll' alongside RrraLaL on the upcoming 19th. This episode is scheduled to be broadcast after editing on the 26th.

Previously, 'Shoe Doll' announced Lee Yi-kyung and RrraLaL as their new MCs as part of their fall lineup. However, following a privacy controversy surrounding Lee Yi-kyung, his participation became uncertain, leading to his eventual departure.

Recently, rumors about Lee Yi-kyung's private life spread online, but it was revealed that the content was AI-generated and manipulated. The person who spread the rumors later apologized, admitting it was false. Lee Yi-kyung's agency had previously stated that the claims were 'completely false' and threatened strong legal action.

Amidst this situation, Kim Jong-min's selection as the new MC for 'Shoe Doll' marks a significant addition to his busy year, following his marriage and his role in '2 Days & 1 Night'.

Korean netizens are reacting positively to the news, with comments like "Kim Jong-min is a trustworthy entertainer!", "Getting married and becoming an MC for Shoe Doll, amazing!", and "Looking forward to his chemistry with RrraLaL."
