ILLIT's Minju is currently in discussions to leave her role as MC on KBS 2TV's "Music Bank," according to reports from January 7.

Both Minju and her co-host Moon Sang Min are reportedly considering stepping down from their positions on the weekly music show. KBS later confirmed that "Minju is currently in discussions about the possibility of leaving," though no final decision has been announced.

The timing of these discussions comes as the industry continues processing recent revelations about workplace safety on music shows. Just days ago, a K-pop idol publicly disclosed being assaulted by a camera director during a music show recording, with the perpetrator never offering an apology.

Minju joined "Music Bank" as an MC, bringing her bright personality to the long-running program that serves as one of South Korea's premier music showcase platforms. The show has historically featured idol MCs who help bridge the gap between artists and fans during weekly performances.

While KBS has not provided a timeline for any potential changes, the network's confirmation that discussions are ongoing suggests viewers may see new faces hosting the program in the coming weeks.

Moon Sang Min, who has served alongside Minju as co-host, is also reportedly considering his departure, though official statements regarding his status remain pending.

The potential MC changes at "Music Bank" would mark another shift for the program, which regularly rotates its hosting lineup. Previous idol MCs have used the platform to develop their broadcast skills while maintaining connections with the music community.

As discussions continue behind the scenes, fans await official announcements from both KBS and the artists' representatives about any confirmed changes to the show's hosting structure. The network has indicated they will provide updates once final decisions are reached regarding the MC positions.
