Alberto Mondi, an Italian broadcaster, will step down as an MC for the first time in nine years, "Welcome, is this your first time in Korea?"

As a result of the Star News report on the 26th, Alberto Mondi will not join the new season of MBC Every1 entertainment program Welcome to Korea, which will return from reorganization on March 19, right. This is the first time in about nine years since the first broadcast in June 2017.

"Welcome. It's your first time in Korea, right?'' is a domestic travel reality program that simultaneously conveys the vivid fun of travel and empathy and laughter from cultural differences through the real 'Korean travel stories' of foreigners visiting Korea from various countries. Since its first broadcast in 2017, it has established itself as MBC Everyone's signature content by simultaneously catching popularity and viewership.

Alberto Mondi said, 'Welcome, it's your first time in Korea, right?' He has been a member since the pilot broadcast. Since the regular programming, he has been a regular MC and met with viewers every season. As an Italian broadcaster, he served as a link between foreign performers and viewers and revitalized the program with excellent sense and speech. Although he has kept his position despite several MC changes, he has decided not to join him this season.

"Welcome, is this your first time in Korea?" Comedian Kim Jun-hyun and singer Dindin will work together as MCs for the new season.

Kim Jun-hyun will be the main MC once again following last season. It is expected to play a central role in this season, as it has been praised as an "empathy-type MC" that respects the culture of foreign performers with its unique warm charm and stable hosting skills and points out viewers' questions.

On top of that, DinDin, a "national contributor" who has been together since the pilot broadcast in 2017, will make a comeback. Dindin's return, which led to the fun of the program with his outspoken talk and honest reaction in the past, is expected to welcome viewers.

The production team said, "When Kim Jun-hyun's stable progress and DinDin's bouncy energy meet, the color like 'Welcome' is completed," adding, "Please look forward to the unique synergy that foreigners' free travelogue and the perfect match between the two MCs will create."

"Welcome. It's your first time in Korea, right?" will return after about five months since the season ended in October last year. In the new season, foreigners who do not have friends in Korea are expected to participate as travelers, breaking away from the existing format in which hosts living in Korea invite their foreign friends to travel. As the first guest, Paco, the "Epeltop specialty," is expected to appear, drawing expectations.
