Actor Lee Dong-geon (46) has officially announced his debut as the MC of "Divorce Reflection Camp," drawing viewers' attention.

The production team of JTBC's couple variety show "Divorce Reflection Camp" (hereinafter "DivCamp") conveyed on the 16th, via on-screen text near the end of the broadcast, that Jin Taehyun would be exiting the program. Although Jin Taehyun had served as an investigator for "DivCamp" for two years, he left without even having a chance to personally bid farewell, leaving behind a bitter impression.

Furthermore, as Jin Taehyun is known as a devoted husband who married actress Park Si-eun, he played a significant role in "DivCamp." His mere presence helped reduce the fatigue level of "DivCamp," where conflicts were rampant, generating synergistic effects.

However, the production team suddenly decided to replace Jin Taehyun with Lee Dong-geon, drawing unfavorable attention from viewers. Moreover, with Lee Dong-geon's addition, "DivCamp" faced criticism as a "Divorce Encouragement Camp." Since main MC Seo Jang-hoon is also a "divorced single" (returned single), and now Lee Dong-geon joins him as another divorced single, two of the three hosts—excluding Park Ha-seon—are divorced singles. This has raised questions about the program's original concept, casting doubt on the intentions of the "DivCamp" production team.

Additionally, Lee Dong-geon is famous for his "chair king" image to such an extent that his father felt compelled to issue a public explanation, which further fueled viewers' resistance to his participation in "DivCamp." In May last year, Lee Dong-geon was also embroiled in dating rumors with rookie actress Kang Hae-rim, who is 16 years younger. This marked his sixth pink-colored scandal, with both sides declining to comment on the matter as a "private affair," leading to a dominant interpretation that it amounted to an "open relationship."

With the credibility of "DivCamp" now diminished, it remains to be seen whether Lee Dong-geon can win back the hearts of viewers who have turned away.

Lee Dong-geon's debut on "DivCamp" will be featured in Episode 93, airing at 10 p.m. on the 23rd.
