Comedian Heo Kyung-hwan Joins New MBC Variety Show with Top Entertainers

Comedian Heo Kyung-hwan is set to appear on a new MBC variety show. Previously, Heo expressed his desire to become a regular on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' and MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo' during an appearance on a YouTube channel.

On the 24th, MBC announced, "The top entertainers who heated up the '2025 MBC Entertainment Awards' are coming together at MBC." Yoo Se-yoon, Jang Dong-min, Boom, and Yang Se-hyung, who sparked laughter with their intense self-promotion for the Best Entertainer Award at the '2025 MBC Entertainment Awards,' are joining forces for a new program.

Yoo Se-yoon, Jang Dong-min, Boom, and Yang Se-hyung, who were all nominated for the Best Entertainer Award, provided laughs with their competitive antics. When Yoo Se-yoon was announced as the winner, a humorous dynamic of winners and losers emerged, with Yoo's sharp wit and the others' playful exits adding to the comedic chemistry that enlivened the awards ceremony.

Following the '2025 MBC Entertainment Awards,' online communities buzzed with comments like "Highly recommend the losers for a new show in 2026," "The Best Entertainer Award was more competitive than the Grand Prize," and "It was the funniest entertainment awards show." This has heightened anticipation for the meeting of these beloved entertainers.

Additionally, Heo Kyung-hwan, who has recently risen as a major figure in the entertainment scene, will join the cast, promising synergy with the top entertainers. As the funniest people in Korea come together in 2026, curiosity about the show's concept is growing.

The new MBC variety show featuring Yoo Se-yoon, Jang Dong-min, Boom, Yang Se-hyung, and Heo Kyung-hwan is set to premiere in the first half of the year.
