In an exciting update for fans of Korean music and late-night talk shows, Zico, the renowned hip-hop musician and producer, is set to make a grand return as the host for KBS's late-night music talk show, "The Seasons." This announcement, made by KBS on April 16th, heralds the comeback of the show with Zico at the helm, promising an enriching experience for viewers when it airs on April 26th.
"The Seasons" has distinguished itself in the KBS late-night lineup by adopting a seasonal format, a first for the network's music programs. Starting with "Jay Park's Drive" in February of the previous year, the show has seen a variety of musicians like Choi Jeong Hoon with "Night Park," AKMU with "Tonight," and Lee Hyori's "Red Carpet" taking on the role of MC, each bringing their unique charm to the show. Following Lee Hyori, Zico's role as the next season's MC was revealed by KBS in March, sparking considerable anticipation.
The title for this upcoming season has been unveiled as "Zico's Artist," a nod to Zico's second mini-album released in 2017, which also bore the title "Artist." This album, featuring Zico's distinctive style and self-produced tracks, solidified his position as a solo musician. Zico is no stranger to setting trends, having sparked a viral challenge with his 2020 hit "Any Song," along with other tracks like "Okey Dokey," "Boys And Girls," "You & I," and "Saebbing," which have become anthems for sing-alongs.
KBS expressed confidence that Zico's broad understanding of various music genres, accumulated over 13 years of his career, combined with his ability to communicate, will create unparalleled chemistry with other artists on the show. "The Seasons - Zico's Artist" is set to kick off its first recording on April 23rd, promising to deliver a music festival vibe in a standing special format. The first episode will air on April 26th, Friday night at 10 p.m.
As "The Seasons" ushers in its fifth season with Zico, expectations are high for the fresh dynamics he will bring to the show. His proven track record as a trendsetter and his ability to engage with both the audience and fellow artists promise a season that will be both entertaining and insightful. Fans and viewers alike are eagerly awaiting what "Zico's Artist" will unfold, marking another milestone in KBS's innovative approach to late-night music programming. Stay tuned for a season that promises to be a blend of musical brilliance and engaging conversations, setting the stage for future updates that are sure to captivate and intrigue.
