[NEWS] 090916 Taec and Wooyoung to leave Inkigayo on a short break

Remember the news we reported earlier in the week about 2PM members, Taecyeon and Wooyoung possibly leaving their MCs position on Inkigayo? A decision has been made today by the producers of Inkigayo and you can say that it's good and bad in a way for 2PM fans.

The good news is that the Inkigayo team will not find a replacement for Taecyeon and Wooyoung. The bad news is that Taecyeon and Wooyoung will be taking a temporary leave of absence, meaning that the 13th September episode of Inkigayo will be their last appearance for a long while.

In the aftermath of the Jaebeom incident, it was decided that it would be better for Taecyeon and Wooyoung to take time off and relieve the stress and pressure that comes with hosting Inkigayo and having to deal with what has happened off the stage at the same time. But the MC positions on Inkigayo will always be left open for Taecyeon and Wooyoung to return to once everything has been cleared up.

With Taecyeon and Wooyoung away, actress Ha Yeon Joo will remain as the MC and she will be partnered by rotating guest MCs which will be decided on a weekly basis, starting from this week's Inkigayo on the 20th of September.

[NEWS]2PM TaecYeon and WooYoung to leave MC roles on SBS Inkigayo

With their last appearance as MCs on the show on 13th September, Park SeongHoon PD of Inkigayo said in a phone interview,”It is not in the production team’s decision to replace the MCs. Even though we did discuss with JYP about it, we have wanted TaecYeon and WooYoung to be MCs on the show.”

Park PD said, “In any case, our production team wishes the best for the 2 MCs. Even though they are the members of 2PM, to us they are individually Ok TaecYeon and Jang WooYoung, it is such a shame that they will not be MCing anymore. The 2 of them are doing very well and wish to continue MCing, but since there may be public opinion about their appearance as MCs on the show, there is no guarantee to it.”

The PD also said, “It is very praise-worthy of them today. They did not mentioned anything, they keep their greetings short like usual. The 2 of them did not think about this as really their last MC appearance.”

With that, Inkigayo production team also put up a notice on their homepage, “There have been changes in just one day, there have been some problems faced by the MCs, and even though we are sorry that we can’t give any promises, we genuinely wish the best for all members of 2PM that they do not receive any hurt and in whatever decisions that TaecYeon and WooYoung may make, we will protect them.”
