8TURN’s Kyungmin Stuns in First-Ever MC Role
Stepping onto the stage not just as an idol but as a host, Kyungmin of rookie K-pop group 8TURN showed fans a whole new side of himself during his debut as a special MC on Show! Champion. Broadcast on June 3, the episode offered a breakout moment for the rising star—and proof that he just might be K-pop’s next all-rounder in the making.
Kyungmin’s Charismatic Debut on ‘Show! Champion’
Set against the theme of “Begin Again,” the episode saw Kyungmin co-host alongside fellow rookies Nam Seongmo of 82MAJOR and Kim Seungmo from AMPERS&ONE. With a sleek, modern look and bright demeanor, Kyungmin effortlessly lit up the stage. His refreshing visual vibe was only matched by the confidence in his words: “It’s such a precious opportunity, so I’ll give it my all,” he announced, earning cheers from fans.
Seamless Dual Roles: Idol and MC
Kyungmin didn’t just clock in as a host—he brought along all the charisma of an 8TURN member, seamlessly balancing both personas. In the segment ‘Na! Wasseo’ (a fun slang phrase meaning “I’m here!”), he joined the rest of his group for playful banter. When asked what moment felt like an ‘Electric Heart’ surge—a nod to their new single—he quipped, “Right now, doing MC on Show! Champion!” Fans online praised his quick wit and charm.
MC Skills That Shine Beyond the Stage
In the ‘Taste Discovery’ segment, Kyungmin took the wheel with natural ease, handling interviews with AMPERS&ONE members like a seasoned host. He navigated questions with grace, offered well-timed reaction shots, and demonstrated a clear understanding of each artist’s flair. Combined with his excellent diction and positive energy, he set the tone for a light-hearted but engaging vibe, drawing praise for being a “bridge between global fans and the artists.”
Bright Energy, Fluent Delivery, Idol Roots
Behind the mic or in front of it, Kyungmin didn’t miss a beat. Before leaving the stage, he delivered 8TURN’s ‘Electric Heart’ performance as usual—but not without a cheeky wink. During the ending pose, he waved and mouthed, “I’m the MC today,” triggering a wave of awws from fans both in person and online. He even updated fans on his life post-tour, saying he’s picked up English study again. Multitalented king behavior? We think yes.
Kyungmin’s Journey Toward All-Rounder Stardom
If there’s one takeaway from Kyungmin’s first shot at MC-ing, it’s this: he’s not just dipping his toes in variety. He’s diving in. With his calm delivery, clever punchlines, and warm stage presence, he’s showing growth not just as a performer but as a communicator. In the fast-paced world of K-pop, versatility is everything—and Kyungmin is ticking all the boxes.
