Stray Kids' Felix to Shine as Special MC in New Season of 'Nangterview'

Stray Kids member Felix is set to take on the role of special MC for the new season of the web variety show 'Nangterview'.

According to TenAsia's exclusive report on the 11th, Felix will be hosting a special short-term segment of 'Nangterview'. Produced by Curly, the web show began its first season in February 2023 with Dex and continued through February this year with its third season, featuring a variety of guests. Sana served as a special MC from March to June last year and led season 2 from March to the 7th of this month.

Industry insiders reveal that discussions are underway for Felix to join as a special MC at the start of the new season.

Felix was recently chosen as a model for the café franchise brand Gong Cha, following in the footsteps of popular actors like Lee Jong-suk, Park Seo-joon, Lee Seung-gi, and Song Kang. It is unusual for Gong Cha to select an idol member as their model. Now, Felix is expanding his reach as a web variety show host. Since his debut in 2018, he has been recognized for his unique charisma and talent on stage, and he continues to showcase new charms in various fields.

Recently, Felix was appointed as the global ambassador for Amorepacific's Hera, marking the brand's first male model, taking over the role previously held by BLACKPINK's Jennie. He has also been active as a Louis Vuitton house ambassador, broadening his influence in fashion, beauty, and the food and beverage industry. This year, he is expected to expand his activities into the entertainment sector.

An industry insider commented, "Dex and Sana have previously left a strong impression as MCs by drawing out the charm of their guests and showcasing their unique personalities. They demonstrated great chemistry and synergy with various participants, revealing new attractions. Felix, taking on web variety hosting for the first time since his debut, is expected to make a memorable impact, even in a short-term role. It will be interesting to see how he translates his stage presence into engaging conversation and charm on the show."

As Felix, who has established a unique presence in stage performances, fashion, beauty, and the food and beverage industry, ventures into the relatively rare field of entertainment, there is growing interest in what new aspects he will reveal in 'Nangterview' during his 8th year since debut.
