Actor Kim Jae-won has gained attention not only for his impressive acting skills in dramas like 'Hierarchy', 'Lady Ok's Tale', and 'Eunjung and Sangyeon', but also for his striking visuals and perfect proportions with a height of 188cm. He made his variety show debut with KBS's 'Coming and Going Lee Min-jung' in 2025, where his genuine charm earned him the 'Best Entertainer Award' at the 2025 KBS Entertainment Awards. He is set to showcase new charms in the upcoming drama 'Yumi's Cells 3', airing this April.

Izna's Bang Ji-min made a notable debut in November 2024, quickly gaining attention for his stable vocal and dance skills. With distinct features, tall stature, and perfect proportions, he has become a hot topic. As a visual center of the 5th generation girl groups, he continues to capture the interest of K-POP fans worldwide. Izna's song 'Mamma Mia' clinched the top spot on Music Bank.

The duo, Kim Jae-won and Bang Ji-min, will host their first live broadcast of 'Music Bank' on the 27th, where they will present a special stage. Anticipation is high for the synergy they will bring to the show.

KBS 'Music Bank' airs live every Friday at 5:05 PM.
