As a member responsible for producing and rapping within the group, Nam Seong-mo builds the team's identity with witty lyrics and a unique tone. His candid and straightforward talk is drawing attention to his upcoming role as an MC.
Although the three belong to contrasting groups, they are expected to maximize synergy by showcasing various aspects through their commonality on 'Show Champion'. The first broadcast on the 14th will feature VCRs and special stages that highlight the characters and charms of the three MCs.
In line with this year's slogan for 'Show Champion', 'A Show That Decorates Everyday Life with Stylish Tastes', Jeon Min-wook, Jang Yeo-jun, and Nam Seong-mo will act as taste curators. They will introduce customized 'K-POP' stages based on their tastes and stories, aiming to capture the hearts of global fans.
