Standing on stage and hosting the Baeksang Arts Awards is no stranger to Park Bo Gum.
To recall, the award-winning actor has been hosting the annual ceremony since 2018. He is joined by Shin Dong Yup, who has been hosting for almost seven consecutive years, followed by Bae Suzy, who has been gracing Baeksang Arts Awards as host since 2016.
Unfortunately, the trio was not complete during the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards because the actor was serving in the military at the time.
Amid the announcement of the ceremony's MC, fans are still hopeful that they could see the synergy of Park Bo Gum, Suzy, and Shin Dong Yup this coming awards night as they entertain the crowd with their wit and charm.
