Stray Kids member Felix will serve as the special MC for the web variety show ″Cold Talk.″ Reports indicate that he will host a special episode of the show, which is produced by Kurly. ″Cold Talk″ began its first season in February 2023, with Felix stepping in as a host for this short-lived special episode. Previous hosts include Sana, who served as a special MC from March to June of last year and hosted Season 2 until March 7 of this year.
Broadcasting industry sources reveal that Felix is in positive discussions to join the new season as a special MC. Following popular actors like Lee Jong-suk, Park Seo-joon, Lee Seung-gi, and Song Kang, Felix has also been chosen as the model for the cafe franchise Gong Cha. This marks a notable move, as it is uncommon for the brand to hire an idol member. By taking on the role of a web variety show host, Felix is expanding his career in new directions.
Since his debut in 2018, Felix has been recognized for his charisma and talent on stage. He has continuously showcased his versatility across various fields. Recently, he was appointed as the global ambassador for Amorepacific’s Hera, making history as the brand’s first male model. This role has drawn attention, especially since he is taking over from Blackpink’s Jennie. Additionally, Felix has served as the house ambassador for Louis Vuitton, further extending his influence in fashion, beauty, and the food and beverage industry.
As he prepares to expand his activities in the entertainment sector in the latter half of this year, industry insiders note that previous hosts Dex and Sana successfully highlighted guests’ charms while establishing their own identities as MCs. Their chemistry with a diverse cast contributed to the show’s appeal. Felix’s upcoming appearance marks his first foray into web variety shows since his debut, and while it will be a brief episode, expectations are high for his performance. Observers are eager to see how he will translate his commanding stage presence into the variety show format.
With a strong foothold in various domains such as stage performance, fashion, beauty, and food and beverage, Felix’s venture into this unique entertainment activity has sparked interest in what new aspects he will reveal on ″Cold Talk″ this year, coinciding with the eighth anniversary of his debut.
