Rumors have been swirling over Lee Seung Gi‘s possible departure from SBS‘s popular show, ‘Strong Heart‘.
According to an SBS staff member, “Lee Seung Gi will record his last episode around mid-March. The producers of ‘Strong Heart’ are currently searching for a replacement MC.”
Lee Seung Gi, who served as co-host alongside Kang Ho Dong since the show’s inception, had been hosting the show alone after Kang Ho Dong withdrew from the industry last October. Although Kang Ho Dong’s absence was lamented by the viewers, Lee Seung Gi’s performance as main MC had exceeded many expectations.
Lee Seung Gi’s company has released a statement saying, “We are still negotiating about the matter.”
