On April 4, it was reported that Inkigayo would be getting new hosts to take over the roles from the three previous MCs: TXT‘s Yeonjun, BOYNEXTDOOR‘s Woonhak, and actress Park Ji Hu.

The three new MCs were shared to be IVE‘s Leeseo, ZEROBASEONE‘s Yujin, and actor Moon Sung Hyun. While their debut episode hasn’t been announced yet, the final show with the three current hosts is anticipated to happen in the near future.

With the announcement of these three new MCs, some netizens couldn’t help but notice an unexpected similarity between all of them.
Leeseo, as IVE’s maknae, was born on February 21, 2007, making her 17 years old.
Yujin is also the maknae of ZEROBASEONE, and was born on March 20, 2007, making him just having turned 17 a few weeks ago.
Sung Hyun isn’t an idol, so he isn’t the maknae of any group, but he was born on June 2, 2006, meaning that he is also just 17 years old.
In addition to them all being the same young age, all three new MCs also attended the prestigious Hanlim Multi Art School.
This isn’t the first time that entertainers became MCs for Inkigayo at such a young age, but it still came as a surprise to many!
It’s an impressive position for young celebrities so early on in their careers, but we have no doubt they’ll do well!
