Production

The idea of the show came out when the program director, Park Sang-hyuk was shooting for Island Trio, a healing travel show with Kang Ho-dong, Jung Yong-hwa & Kim Hee-sun. Whilst Kang Ho-dong & Jung Yong-hwa joined in together for Talkmon, Kim Hee-sun is said to back off from the new show in order to maintain the freshness for Island Trio's season 2, which is scheduled to run within the same year, 2018. However, Kim Hee-sun is said to willingly fill in as a guest whenever there's an empty slots.[3][4][5][6]

After Jung Yong-hwa's departure from the show, Kim Hee-sun is scheduled to record as the special MC on February 4, 2018 to fill in Jung Yong-hwa's absence and will be broadcast on February 12, 2018.[7][8][9][10][11][12] It is later announced by O'live that she will become a fixed MC for the show instead of only one-time appearance.[13][14][15][16]

MC Departure

MC Jung Yong-hwa voluntarily departed[17][18][19][20] from the show's MCing due to his graduate school controversy[21][22][23][20] and will be enlisting in military on March 5, 2018.[17] Jung's agency, FNC Entertainment announced:

"Due to the controversy surrounding Yong-hwa, he's taking responsibility, and because he doesn't want it to negatively impact the program, he's decided to leave the show along with agreement from the producers. We once again deeply apologize for disappointing the producers, the cast, and the viewers."[24]

"Jung Yong-hwa will be notified of the entry (military enlistment) and will join on March 5th. As for '2018 JUNG YONG HWA LIVE [ROOM 622]' , after Hong Kong concert on January 27th, it is necessary to cancel all future overseas tour schedules.
