SBS’s ‘One Night of Entertainment TV’ MC Song Ji Hyo will be stepping off the program.

An official of SBS said in a call with Sports Chosun on February 18th, “Song Ji Hyo has stepped off the program with her appearance in KBS’s drama, ‘Crime Squad’. We’re currently searching for a new MC.”

Song Ji Hyo had been known to have difficulties doing all of her ‘Running Man’ and ‘One Night of Entertainment TV’ schedules ever since her casting on ‘Crime Squad’.

Because of this, the staff and Song Ji Hyo’s side has been known to have carried out meetings on the possibility of her getting off the program.

Another official of SBS explained, “Drama schedules are known to be fluid, so it was naturally hard to keep appearing on ‘One Night of Entertainment TV’, which is live. However, she will continue starring on ‘Running Man’, though she will be quitting ‘One Night of Entertainment TV’.”

Song Ji Hyo has emceed ‘One Night of Entertainment TV’ since April of last year. ‘One Night of Entertainment TV’ had their MCs, chosen from actresses, changed frequently due to their drama castings. Song Ji Hyo’s predecessors, Jang Seo Hee and Uhm Ji Won, had also stepped down after their own respective drama castings.

On the other hand, Song Ji Hyo will be starring on ‘Crime Squad’, which will be first airing on the coming March 7th. She will play an enthusiastic intern journalist, Jo Min Joo, that will go to great lengths to get exclusives on-site.
