Moon Hae Joon: He is a former Idol. Previously he was a leader of the legendary boy band H.O.T which is very famous in the late 90s and early 2000. In the show, he was able to turn the atmosphere in the waiting room with fresh jokes and funny comments so the waiting room will not be boring.
Jo Jae Hyun: He is a Korean pop singer-songwriter, pianist and a film music composer. His name is already known by the public and has a large knowledge of music, so he can give various comments about performance on the stage.
Kim Gura (Former): He is a well-known host who hosted in various programs. He appear in early show and then replaced.
Eun Ji Won (Former): He is a former Idol group named Sechs Kies which is a rival H.O.T at that time. He quit as a presenter in the early 2015's. I still do not know why, maybe because of busy or conflicting schedules.
Yoo Min Soo: He is a member of VIBE and a singer who is respected and well-known with his song Although It is Hateful, Once Again, Liquor, etc. His name began to soar again after he attended a variety show Dad Where Are You Going? With his son. He replaces Eun Ji Won earlier this year. Although he is still new and still rigid in bringing the show, but he was able to give comments which weighs about the guest appearance on stage and can be funny sometimes.

My Favorite Immortal Songs 2 Performance

One of my favorite episode this year is The Late Lee Younghun Special that aired on 7 March 2015 in KBSWorld. In this episode guest singer sings a song written by Lee Young-hun who in his time is a songwriter who wrote songs sung by Lee Moon Sae. This episode is a favorite because of the many guest singer who is the favorite as well, such as the Moon Myung Jin, Yoo Min Soo, and Davichi.
