BIGBANG's Daesung will return to star in a new variety show, as a judge in a trot music competition! Quoting from Soompi media, on Friday October 6, 2023, news media outlet MBN announced that Daesung had been selected as a judge on the latest trot competition show entitled, ' Living Legend '.

'Living Legend' is a survival music variety program that will select the top 7 active female trot singers who will represent South Korea at the 2024 Korea-Japan Trot Legend Championship. Even before its premiere, the program was already gaining attention because it was created by the same team behind hit shows like 'Miss Trot', 'Mr. Trot', and “Burning Trotman.”  

Apart from appointing BIGBANG's Daesung as a judge, the program has also appointed Shin Dong Yup as MC, marking his debut as a trot music variety show host. Apart from BIGBANG's group activities, Daesung also shows his charm as a solo artist, exploring various genres such as rock, ballad, and trot. 

In particular, his trot songs 'Look at Me, Gwisoon' and 'It's a Big Hit', are gaining a lot of attention in Korea. Apart from his music career, he has also appeared on popular variety shows such as 'Family Outing' and 'Night After Night' as a regular panel member. As he is now taking on the role of 'special national producer' on the show, fans are eagerly awaiting the new and unique charm he will bring. 

This appearance will also mark his first regular appearance on a variety show in 12 years. Daesung expressed, “I look forward to this opportunity to gain valuable experience with extraordinary mentors and senior artists. I also have big concerns about how I can contribute and provide help."

"I will approach this with the aim of offering my best possible assistance to as many people as possible," he added. The production team also expressed their trust in Daesung. They said, “We believe that 'Living Legend' gains greater credibility with the addition of Daesung, who has unmatched skill and dedication to music."

"Starting with Daesung, we will continue to reveal special national producers who are very suitable for the scale of 'Living Legend.' "We respectfully request your interest in the upcoming lineup for 'Living Legend,'" he continued. 'Living Legend' will air in the second half of 2023.
