Broadcasters Kang Ho-dong and Lee Seung-gi reunite in a variety show. It has been 8 years since tvN’s ‘New Journey to the West’ in 2015.
On March 20th, an SBS official told Donga.com, "Kang Ho-dong and Lee Seung-gi will meet in the new version of 'Strong Heart League' (tentative title)." According to officials, PD Kim Dong-wook, who showed 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2-You Are My Destiny' and 'While I'm Sleeping', is directing and the first broadcast is scheduled for sometime in May.
‘Strong Heart’ was a group talk show that aired on SBS from 2009 to 2013 and was co-hosted by Kang Ho-dong and Lee Seung-gi in the beginning. In 2011, Kang Ho-dong announced his temporary retirement from the entertainment industry due to tax evasion allegations, and Lee Seung-gi switched to a solo MC system. Afterward, Shin Dong-yeop and Lee Dong-wook took charge of the show until the end.
Kang Ho-dong and Lee Seung-gi reunited in the 'Strong Heart League' (tentative title), which was revived after 10 years. The two's entertainment combination is raising expectations since it has been 8 years since Season 1 of 'New Journey to the West'. Even the Kang Ho-dong and Lee Seung-gi hand-cutting rumor(friendship breaking)', which was recently raised online in the historical meeting, is expected to disappear.
