"The Seasons" selected singer Sung Si-kyung (46) as the MC for its ninth season. In the midst of this, there is a heated debate among netizens over the name of the new program.

KBS said on the 11th, "The ninth season of the KBS 2TV music talk show 'The Seasons' will premiere on the 27th under the title of 'The Seasons-Sung Si-kyung's Eardrum Boyfriend'." It is explained that the modifier that symbolizes Sung Si-kyung's unique tone and emotion was reflected in the program name.

Sung Si-kyung will lead the program based on her long-established musical experience, stage experience, and witty talks shown in various broadcasts. It is expected to introduce new artists as the original "Eternal Boyfriend" and provide viewers with a special healing time on Friday night.

Starting with Park Jae-beom in 2023, top artists in Korea have been hosting the show in relay from Choi Jung-hoon, Akmu, Lee Hyo-ri, Zico, Lee Young-ji, Park Bo-gum, and 10cm. It has established itself as a representative late-night music show in Korea by presenting titles that utilize the personality of MCs every season.

However, immediately after the release of the program name 'Extreme Boyfriend', mixed reactions poured out from the online community. It was pointed out that the use of the expression "boyfriend" to Sung Si-kyung, who was born in 1979 and is well over his mid-40s, is somewhat different from the musical atmosphere of the program and the image of the MC.

Some netizens have opinions such as "uncle, not boyfriend" and "the expression 'boyfriend' is old." On the other hand, many fans welcomed Sung Si-kyung's voice, saying, "It is the definition of an 'echoic boyfriend.'

Meanwhile, "The Seasons - Sung Si-kyung's Eardrum Boyfriend" will premiere at 10 p.m. on the 27th.
