These hosts would act as representatives of various seasons, bringing their own unique flair to the program. It was recently announced that iconic soloist Lee HyoRi would be taking the mantle as the final host for the last installment of "The Seasons".

While audiences are hyped to see Lee HyoRi's version of "The Seasons" come to life, many continue to replay the various scenes of "The Seasons: Long Day, Long Night With AKMU". Led by the sibling duo AKMU, there were countless moments of laughter, joy, and incredible artistry.
