BOYNEXTDOOR's Jaehyun and RIIZE's Sohi have been selected as the new MCs for Mnet's "M COUNTDOWN." On the 5th, Mnet announced that "BOYNEXTDOOR's Jaehyun and RIIZE's Sohi have been selected as the MCs for 'M COUNTDOWN'" and revealed that "they will serve as MCs for the live broadcast on the 11th in a three-person system with ZEROBASEONE's Son Hanbin, who joined as an MC for 'M COUNTDOWN' in September last year." Prior to Jaehyun and Sohi's joining, Son Hanbin, who has been in charge of MCing, has been well received for his smooth progress. He is the leader of the group ZEROBASEONE, which debuted in July last year. ZEROBASEONE has achieved double million seller with two consecutive mini-albums and achieved six rookie awards at major music award ceremonies in half a year after their debut. Jaehyun, who was selected as the new MC, is a member of BOYNEXTDOOR, which debuted in May last year. As a group produced by Block B's Zico, they have attracted a lot of attention from an early stage and won the rookie award for the first time in about two months after their debut. BOYNEXTDOOR is growing at an amazing pace, ranking on the "Billboard 200," the main album chart of the U.S. Billboard, with their 1st mini-album "WHY.." in just 112 days after their debut. Sohi is a member of RIIZE, which debuted in September last year, and is a super rookie who achieved super-fast million seller with their 1st single "Get A Guitar" in a week. RIIZE, which showed its presence by showing various charms for each song from the performance video "Siren," which became a hot topic before their debut, to the refreshing "Memories," the funky "Get A Guitar," and the powerful "Talk Saxy," released a new single today (5th) and will captivate fans once again. Jaehyun and Sohi have served as special MCs for the same program. They showed off their chemistry that makes you feel happy just by watching, and their ability to progress that does not seem like a rookie with Son Hanbin. The production team of "M COUNTDOWN" said, "We expect that they will further demonstrate a youthful and trendy synergy with the super rookies who showed remarkable performances last year and the new MCs all born in the 2000s."
