Kim Gyuvin and TWS’s Dohoon to Conclude ‘Music Core’ MC Run on August 22

Kim Gyuvin of AND2BLE and Dohoon of TWS will soon wrap up their time as co-hosts of MBC’s weekly music program Music Core. The pair’s final broadcast is scheduled for August 22 at 3:20 p.m. KST, bringing a close to a partnership that has been part of the show’s Saturday routine since early 2025.

The two idols joined the program on March 1, 2025 and have held the MC positions for approximately one year and five months. Across that period, they introduced comeback stages, spoke with visiting performers, and helped guide the broadcast through its fast-moving lineup of K-pop releases.

A Familiar Weekly Partnership Nears Its Final Broadcast

Music programs occupy a distinctive place in the K-pop calendar: they are both performance stages and regular gathering points for artists and fans. The hosts set the pace between performances, welcoming guests and connecting segments that can range from debut showcases to trophy presentations. Kim Gyuvin and Dohoon’s tenure therefore placed them at the center of a constantly changing weekly show.

Kim Gyuvin described the role as a meaningful opportunity and said the experience became a valuable source of personal growth. He also looked back on sharing the position with Dohoon and the program’s audience, while thanking the production staff and supporters who followed the pair’s work. The closing broadcast will give the pair a final opportunity to greet viewers in the role before the program moves to its next hosting arrangement.

For a young artist, a recurring live-hosting assignment can demand a different kind of preparation from a group performance. It calls for clear delivery, quick responses, and the ability to maintain the energy of a live set while meeting a tightly timed schedule. Those demands can make a music-show role an important complement to an idol’s recording and promotional activities.

Dohoon Reflects on Growth Through the Role

Dohoon similarly characterized his time on the program as significant, saying that the weekly experience helped him learn more about himself and continue developing. Because hosting had become part of his routine, he acknowledged that leaving the post feels bittersweet, while emphasizing that the memories from the show will remain with him.

He thanked viewers, TWS’s fan community 42, and the staff who worked with the hosts behind the scenes. His comments reflect the collaborative nature of a weekly broadcast, where a visible on-air team depends on producers, writers, camera crews, stylists, performers, and stage staff to bring each episode together. That work is largely unseen by television audiences, but it is essential to the rapid transitions between live performances, interviews, and closing segments.

The August 22 episode will mark the final time the two appear as the program’s MCs. It will also offer a closing moment for viewers who have watched their partnership develop alongside the groups’ own busy release and performance schedules.

What Comes Next for ‘Music Core’

MBC has not yet announced who will follow Kim Gyuvin and Dohoon in the regular hosting roles. Music-show MC changes are a familiar part of the format, but a new lineup can bring a different rhythm and chemistry to the weekly broadcast. Until that next chapter is revealed, the final episode will focus attention on the duo’s last appearance together.

Both artists will continue their activities with their respective groups. Their departure from Music Core does not signal an end to those careers; rather, it concludes a defined broadcast assignment that gave each of them a recurring platform beyond group stages. For the show, August 22 will serve as a farewell to two hosts whose run became a steady feature of its weekend programming.
