Chosun Ilbo is excited to present the premiere of 'THE SCOUT: Reborn Star,' a project meticulously crafted over two years by the legendary Lee Seung-chul, often called the 'founding father' of audition programs in Korea.

The show debuted on ENA, bringing together a dazzling lineup of 'Masters' – Kim Jae-joong, Red Velvet's Wendy, DAY6's Young K, and martial artist Choo Sung-hoon – all under Lee Seung-chul's guidance. This assembly of talent underscores the program's ambition and the significance of Lee Seung-chul's return to the audition scene.

It's a blend of his signature tough love and genuine desire to see talent flourish, a combination that resonates deeply with our audience.
