It's time for MC Soobin and Arin to bid goodbye, and Sunghoon and Jang Wonyoung to say hello to Music Bank. On September 27, K-media outlet Newsen reported a new set of hosts taking up the baton, and it has left fans with bittersweet emotions.
ENHYPEN's Sunghoon and former IZ*ONE member Jang Wonyoung will be the new MCs for Music Bank, starting October 8. Music Bank airs every Friday, which means this week will be the last for TXT's Soobin and Oh My Girl's Arin as MCs.

In July 2020, TXT's Soobin and Oh My Girl's Arin became the new hosts of Music Bank, after Shin Se Eun and Golden Child's Bomin's.
With their contract almost on its end, KBS revealed the newest faces to join Music Bank - ENHYPEN's Sunghoon and Jang Wonyoung, a former IZ*ONE member. As per the reports, the production team hopes that the two idols' cute and lively images will bring new energy and warmth to Music Bank.

Fans love KBS' choice of new MCs. 'MC Sunghoon' trended in the Top 10 worldwide Twitter charts, as fans gushed over both Sunghoon and Wonyoung's visuals, looking forward to their talent.
However, some fans are warning others of the troubles that could be brewing in the future.
