SBS's 'Star King' has announced that they've cast TV star Kim Sung Joo as the MC for the show. Kim Sung Joo was recently offered the position, and it was just revealed that he's in the process of accepting it. He's not only known for his exceptional hosting skills, but is also much-loved for his friendly, endearing image, and for his work with Mnet's 'Superstar K'. More than anything, he was chosen for his leadership abilities, since 'Star King' has new guests on the show frequently. A representative of his agency stated, "Nothing has been decided yet, but we are in the middle of positive discussions with the producers of the show." Higher officials in the industry, however, are sure that he will take the position should there not be any major incidents. The previous MC for the show, Kang Ho Dong, had announced that he'd be temporarily retiring from the industry after his tax evasion scandal blew up. With this update from 'Star King', all of his variety shows have now come to a final decision on their futures. 'Strong Heart' will continue on with Lee Seung Gi as the sole MC, while '1 Night 2 Days' will continue with five members. Producers of 'Knee-Drop Guru' have decided to cancel the program altogether.
