On the April 9 episode, Hyungwon expressed his excitement about the new challenge, saying, "There's a different thrill and anticipation to this role compared to when I was on stage as a singer."

With nine years of experience in the music industry, Hyungwon expertly utilized his skills from hosting music shows, radio programs, and variety shows to lead "Inkigayo" with a steady and quick-witted approach.

After completing his first episode as an "Inkigayo" host, Hyungwon shared his thoughts through Starship Entertainment, stating, "I was more nervous than I thought standing in this position.

He added, "I hope many people enjoyed our special stage prepared for the spring atmosphere. I will continue to work hard to bring a comfortable and friendly presence as an 'Inkigayo' MC."

As a multi-talented entertainer, Hyungwon is active in various fields, displaying his prowess as a MONSTA X member with smooth dance moves, sophisticated low tones, and R&B vocal capabilities. His self-composed song, "LONE RANGER," with its unique western sound, featured on MONSTA X's 12th mini-album "REASON" in January, showcasing his talent by entering the "Billboard Hot Trending Songs" weekly chart.

Additionally, Hyungwon has released singles under the name DJ H.ONE and has performed at the Ultra Music Festival Korea and other festivals, demonstrating his musical abilities.
