STAYC’s Sieun took on the role of MC for the 2025 KBS 'Children’s Song Contest', which aired on KBS1 on May 5th KST, joining announcer Park Chul Kyu and child actor Oh Eun Seo as co-hosts.

First held in 1989, the KBS Children’s Song Contest is Korea’s premier creative children’s song festival, uncovering new songs each year to nurture healthy emotions and rich sensibilities in children. Sieun delivered a smooth and engaging performance as MC and helped create a joyful Children’s Day celebration with a heartwarming special stage.

Sieun opened the show with Park Chul Kyu, Oh Eun Seo, and the Yedong Choir, performing “Fanfare,” “Children’s Day Song,” and “Songs Are Magic Buses.” She also shared a personal memory, revealing, “In 2014, I participated in the KBS Green Children’s Song Festival with my dad and younger sibling,” drawing attention.

She interviewed choir members, composers, and lyricists who made it to the finals, highlighting key points to appreciate and offering warm encouragement to ease their nerves. After each performance, she seamlessly transitioned to asking judges for their feedback.

Her thoughtful reflections and natural ability to engage the audience added to the enjoyment of the show. After the performance of “One Spoon,” she commented, “The sweet and salty charm of these two friends’ harmony felt so good. I think younger kids would love singing this with their besties,” inviting audience reactions and lifting the mood.

Concluding the event on a high note, Sieun said, “It was a joy to see so many children’s performances, and it was deeply meaningful to be part of the birth of so many songs.”

Meanwhile, STAYC, the group Sieun belongs to, recently wrapped up their 2025 STAYC Tour ‘Stay Tuned’ in Seoul with a sold-out show. Starting in June, they will continue their world tour with stops in 11 cities including Osaka, Tokyo, Jakarta, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taipei.
