Previously, Kang Ho Dong had been confirmed to return to 'Star King', but there was no specific date given.

SBS has now revealed that he will have his first 'Star King' shooting on October 29th, and the episode will air on November 10th.

PD Jang Hyuk Jae, the same PD for 'Family Outing' and 'X-Man', will  be joining him on the same day. There will be a lot of changes as Boom will be moving as a fixed panel member, Park Mi Sun will be leaving, and Leeteuk will be enlisting. However, despite the rumors of a format change, the program format will stay the same.

Netizens expressed their happiness and commented, "I'm already looking forward to his return date", and "Everyone is happy with his return".
