WINNER’s Song Min Ho Leaves JTBC’s ‘Peak Time’ Due To Schedule Conflicts, MAMAMOO’s Moon Byul Joins Judging Panel

Due to personal scheduling problems, JTBC informed us that WINNER Song Min Ho would no longer serve on the ‘Peak Time’ judging panel.

The ongoing group survival show PEAK TIME on JTBC features numerous well-known K-pop performers. However, on February 16, it was revealed that Mino, a member of the K-pop boy group WINNER, will be leaving his position as one of the judges for the reality show.

Song Min Ho will be replaced with MAMAMOO’s Moon Byul as of the second episode. According to reports, Song Min Ho informed JTBC in advance of his scheduling issues and will leave the program after the first round.

In the Mapo neighborhood of Seoul, South Korea, on February 15, “PEAK TIME” conducted a news conference in the Grand Ballroom of the Stanford Hotel. Unfortunately, song Minho was not present, in contrast to the other judges, Tiffany Young of Girls’ Generation, Park Jae Bum (Jay Park), Kim Sungkyu of INFINITE, Lee Gikwang of Highlight, and Lee Seung Gi, the MC. Notably, a cut-out of Kyuhyun from Super Junior was with the group, suggesting that Mino may have already decided to leave before the press conference.

The first round of the competition, which will start next week, will still be broadcast for viewers to watch Song Min Ho’s rapport with the other judging panel members.

The Male Idol team survival game called “Peak Time,” which debuted on JTBC on February 15, aims to give lesser-known K-Pop groups a shot at the spotlight.
