Lee Seung Gi to host SBS ‘Strong Heart’ alone

After Kang Ho Dong had stepped down as the host of SBS ‘Strong Heart’ announcing his indefinite retirement, the program will now be hosted alone by Lee Seung Gi.

Kang Ho Dong has resigned from all of his host gigs after the tax evasion scandal. The most popular talk show in the nation will bid farewell to Kang Ho Dong with his last episode aired on the 20th.

There has been lots of talks and rumors about the host to replace Kang Ho Dong to join Lee Seung Gi as co-hosts, but ‘Strong Heart’ production team has decided to go with Lee Seung Gi as the sole and the main host of the show for the time being.

The production director of ‘Strong Heart’ Park Sang Hyuk stated, “We will go with the solo MC option for the time being. Lee Seung Gi along with Kang Ho Dong has led the program to the successful program that it is today. He’s an excellent MC and he was a way of effortlessly commanding the guests” and he explained the reason behind the solo MC decision.

The PD continued, “I believe in the ability of Lee Seung Gi who has grown to succeed in several different areas in the entertainment industry” and with this statement the decision for ‘Strong Heart’ to continue with Lee Seung Gi as solo MC has been made official.

Lee Seung Gi has been praised from day one of ‘Strong Heart’ broadcast in October of 2009. Park Sang Hyuk PD also added that ‘Strong Heart’ might change hosts in the long run and it might see a change in the format of the show as well.
