[Sports Chosun, Reporter Jung Bit] NCT's Doyoung, IVE's An Yujin, and TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT)'s Yeonjun are set to appear as MCs for the SBS 'Gayo Daejeon Summer'.

According to reports by Sports Chosun, Doyoung, An Yujin, and Yeonjun will host the '2024 Gayo Daejeon Summer', which will be held at the Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, on July 21st. As leaders of global K-pop in their respective groups—NCT, IVE, and TXT—they will take the stage as MCs to wrap up the music scene of the first half of this year.

Most notably, all three are former MCs of the SBS music program 'Inkigayo'. Doyoung hosted from February 2017 to February of the following year, An Yujin from March 2021 to March of the following year, and Yeonjun served as the 'son' of 'Inkigayo' for one year starting in April 2022, and then again from July last year to April this year. They all led 'Inkigayo' with refreshing and skillful hosting abilities.

Furthermore, An Yujin will be keeping her seat as the 'host' of 'Gayo Daejeon' for the third consecutive year, following the 2022 and 2023 editions. Yeonjun will also be showcasing his hosting skills again, following last year's 'Gayo Daejeon'. With Doyoung now joining them, anticipation is building to see what kind of chemistry these 'Inkigayo' siblings will create for a spectacular summer night music festival.

It is also worth noting that they are the inaugural MCs for 'Gayo Daejeon Summer', which is being held for the first time this year. 'Gayo Daejeon 2024' is a summer version of the 'Gayo Daejeon' typically held at the end of the year. This is the first time a year-end music program is being held in the summer, and it is a first among terrestrial broadcasters as well.

Doyoung, An Yujin, and Yeonjun, who are taking the MC microphone for 'Gayo Daejeon Summer' for the first time, are expected to open the spectacular event by introducing the stages of popular K-pop artists who shone in the first half of 2024 with their lively commentary. They are expected to present unforgettable memories to K-pop fans on a sweltering summer day.

The 'Gayo Daejeon Summer' team is currently pouring their hearts into preparations to create a grand summer K-pop festival. Rumor has it that in addition to special stages by artists who were highly active in the first half of this year, they have also prepared refreshing stages suitable for summer, unlike the year-end 'Gayo Daejeon'. This is why 'Gayo Daejeon Summer' has emerged as the biggest point of interest for global K-pop fans recently.

Currently, Stray Kids, (G)I-DLE, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Lee Young-ji, ENHYPEN, IVE, NMIXX, LE SSERAFIM, NewJeans, and ZEROBASEONE have been named in the 'Gayo Daejeon Summer' lineup, already receiving an enthusiastic response.

'2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer' will be held on July 21st at the Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon.
