Korean singer and actor Lee Seung-gi will leave his post as the emcee of SBS' variety program "Strong Heart," according to his agency Hook Entertainment on Thursday.
A rep with Hook told 10Asia over phone that Lee will no longer host "Strong Heart" and he will record his final episode on March 15.
Additionally, an official with SBS said that Lee's final episode will air on April 3 and that they have yet to find a replacement.
Lee was appointed the co-host of "Strong Heart" in 2009 with comedian Kang Ho-dong and began hosting the show alone after Kang's departure last year.
Lee, who just finished signing his contract with Japanese management company Amuse Entertainment, will release his Japanese debut single on March 6.
