"Weekly Idol" Announces Departure Of Current Hosts

The latest trio of “Weekly Idol” hosts are leaving the show in 2019.

On November 21, it was announced that MBC every1 will be restructuring “Weekly Idol” again next year. This comes after large changes to the show in 2018, when longtime hosts Jung Hyung Don and Defconn and producing director (PD) Kim Jin left “Weekly Idol.”

The show then brought in Lee Sang Min, Kim Shin Young, and Yoo Se Yoon as MCs, and they have been hosting since April.

MBC every1 has now confirmed that with the upcoming restructuring of “Weekly Idol,” they’re planning to change the current MC team as well as the PD and writer. “As the restructuring is planned for January of next year, the MCs who will be taking over have not yet been decided,” the network stated. “It is also unknown when the final episode with the three MCs will air.”

“Weekly Idol” airs every Wednesday at 5 p.m. KST on MBC every1.
