The listeners were also charmed by his comfortable, friendly and fun nature in greeting the listeners and welcoming the guest stars. In April 2018, a source from KBS confirmed that Lee Hongki would be stepping down as the DJ of Kiss the Radio. His last show aired on April 15th and he continued to focus on his music and broadcast activities as an idol. Here’s a clip of the program when he had BLACKPINK as the guest stars. He is so charming!

From 2017 to early 2019, NCT’s Johnny and Jaehyun were DJs for their own nightly radio show, NCT’s Night Night.

Unfortunately, after one year and ten months of entertaining radio listeners, the duo sadly announced that they would be departing from NCT’s Night Night due to overseas activities.

Nevertheless, they were praised for their skilled hosting abilities. Take a look at their broadcast with MOMOLAND!
