According to reports, SHINee member Taemin has been confirmed as the host for the upcoming revamped season of Mnet's boy group survival show, 'Road to Kingdom,' set to launch later this year.

Taemin, who debuted with SHINee in 2008, has showcased his impressive skills as the group's main dancer and vocalist. Since 2014, he has also pursued a successful solo career, demonstrating his versatility as an 'all-rounder' artist by excelling in both vocals and performance.

Taemin's influence has made him a consistent role model for many boy group members. His decade-long dedication to his craft and his solid expertise make him an ideal mentor for the contestants on 'Road to Kingdom.' This will be Taemin's first time hosting a survival program on his own, although he has previously served as a mentor on KBS 2TV's 'Idol Rebooting Project - The Unit,' adding to the anticipation for his new role as 'MC Taemin.'

The rebranded 'Road to Kingdom' promises a fresh format, enhancing the competition with added reality elements to reveal the contestants' hidden charms fully. The show is set to premiere in September.
