Youn Hak Appointed Main MC for 'My Pet's Genius' - Anticipation High for Chemistry with Lee Kyung-kyu

Singer Youn Hak has been officially selected as the main MC for the revamped KBS2 show 'My Pet's Genius' (working title). He will be making his debut as a new MC alongside veteran broadcaster Lee Kyung-kyu when the program returns with a fresh look on October 9th.

'My Pet's Genius' is set to undergo a significant transformation, adopting a 'Military Academy' concept for this season. The show will feature various trainers competing fiercely under their own names, showcasing their unique training methods. Youn Hak is slated to take on the role of 'Dean of Students,' where he is expected to leverage his signature wit and bright energy to keep viewers engaged.

He aims to not only ease the tension for both pet owners and their troubled dogs but also to act as a mood maker with his insightful, albeit sometimes pointed, advice. Joining Lee Kyung-kyu, often referred to as the 'National Dog Father,' Youn Hak is poised to form a fantastic partnership.

Youn Hak has already expressed his deep affection for the show by composing its theme song, highlighting his genuine passion for dogs. This composition serves as a testament to his consistent love and care for canine companions, which he plans to share warmly with the audience through his words and melodies.

This move into a main MC role marks a significant step for Youn Hak, who has previously demonstrated his hosting capabilities at various award ceremonies and music festivals. His recent participation in the Disney+ original series 'The Countrymen' also solidified his presence as an all-around artist. The production team praised the immediate "chemistry" between Lee Kyung-kyu and Youn Hak, likening it to a long-standing partnership and anticipating a delightful "honey-like chemistry" between the two.

'My Pet's Genius' premieres on October 9th at 8:30 PM KST.

Youn Hak debuted in 2007 with his single album 'I am Youn Hak' and gained widespread popularity after securing the runner-up position in the 2020 TV Chosun competition 'Mr. Trot.' Beyond his versatile musical talents, he possesses a natural flair for variety entertainment, making him a sought-after presence across multiple platforms. His warm vocals and cheerful energy have garnered him a devoted fanbase.
