iKON member Bobby made a sudden announcement of marriage.

In a handwritten letter on August 20, Bobby said, "I have a story I want to tell you today, so I am writing this after much thought. I promised to marry the person I love. And I will become a father also in September. I'm happy with the fact, but I feel even more sorry for the fans who would be embarrassed by my sudden news."

He continued, "I should have informed you sooner, but because of this, I'm sorry for the delay because I was worried about it. I sincerely apologize to those who were hurt or confused by my story." "I will become a person who will not be ashamed of the iKON members, fans, and parents who have made me so lacking in the person the world needs. In addition, I will do my best not to become a nuisance to the fans and members who are waiting for iKON's activities."

Below is the full text of Bobby's handwritten letter:

I have a story I want to tell you today, so I am writing this after much deliberation.

I promise to marry the person I love. And in September I will become a father again. I am happy to have a new family, but I feel even more sorry for the fans who are embarrassed by my sudden news.

I should have informed you sooner, but I'm sorry for the delay because I was worried about this.

I feel a heavy responsibility because I feel like I am putting a heavy burden on the people who have always helped and supported me with all my heart.

I sincerely apologize to those who have been offended or greatly confused by my story.

I will become a person who will not be ashamed of the iKON members, fans, and parents who have made me, who is lacking in this way, the person the world needs.

In addition, we will do our best not to become a nuisance to the fans and members who are waiting for iKON's activities.

KBS is getting ready to shake up its 2025 spring variety lineup, and one of the most talked-about shows is Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile!

On March 7, KBS held a press conference at the KBS International Conference Room in Yeouido, Seoul, to introduce its upcoming variety programs. Several CPs (chief producers) attended the event, including Park Seok-hyung, who is directing Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile.

During the event, CP Park Seok-hyung explained why Park Bo Gum was chosen as the host. "Having Park Bo Gum as the MC was a bit of a challenge for us. Respect is crucial in a music talk show, and we felt that Park Bo Gum, with his deep love for music, would be able to communicate well with musicians."

This decision is a big first for KBS—until now, the network’s signature music talk show, The Seasons, has always been hosted by singers.

Now, with an actor like Park Bo Gum taking the lead, the show is expected to bring a new and refreshing vibe to the genre.

Alongside Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile, KBS is bringing back some beloved shows and exciting new programs:

Kang Ho Dong will return as the host of Study and Nolbu, a quiz talk show for parents and children.

The Problematic Men of the Rooftop Room, which ran for seven years starting in 2018, is making a comeback.

Ballunteer will feature former soccer star Lee Young-pyo and singer Lee Chan-won as they take on hilarious futsal challenges.

Actress Lee Min-jung will host Going and Coming Lee Min-jung, a wholesome rural reality show where she sells goods with other actors.

Meanwhile, KBS’s legendary comedy show Gag Concert is officially returning on March 16, moving to prime time on Sundays at 9:20 PM KST.

Here’s when you can catch these exciting new and returning shows:
Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile – Every Friday at 10 PM KST, starting March 14
Gag Concert – March 16 (Sundays at 9:20 PM KST)
Study and Nolbu – March 31 (Mondays at 9:50 PM KST)
The Problematic Men of the Rooftop Room – April 3 (Thursdays at 8:30 PM KST)
Going and Coming Lee Min-jung – May 23 (Fridays at 10 PM KST)

With Park Bo Gum stepping into a brand-new challenge as a music talk show MC, fans are eagerly waiting to see if he will rise to the occasion and bring something fresh to KBS’s long-running series.
