Beloved national MC Song Hae (95) is expected to leave the 'National Singing Contest,' which he has been leading for 34 years.

On the 17th, New Daily reported that Song Hae recently told the production crew that it would be difficult to host KBS1's 'National Singing Contest.'

According to the report, it is reported that Song Hae expressed his intention to leave the show because he was not able to record outdoors for a long time due to health problems.

Although the production team has not confirmed Song Hae's departure, they are looking for and contacting a successor with various possibilities.


Currently, Song Hae is hospitalized at Asan Hospital in Seoul. It is said he was not in a critical condition and was only for routine examination-level care.

This is Song Hae's second hospitalization this year. He was hospitalized for health problems in January as well.

Afterward, Song Hae was diagnosed with COVID-19 in March and took a break while receiving treatment.

After recovering his health, Song Hae returned to the 'National Singing Contest' on the 10th of last month, but it is rumored that he was having a hard time due to deterioration in his physical strength and digestive function.


Fans are saddened by the news that Song Hae is being hospitalized again after a month of returning.

Meanwhile, Song Hae made his debut as a member of the Chang Gong Music Theater in 1955 and has been meeting his fans since 1988 as the MC of the 'National Singing Contest.'

Y'all don't understand. When I read the beginning of the article title I thought that it was gonna say that he died, and I almost started crying. When I finished reading the title I breathed a sigh of relief.
