After 3 years and 4 months (or 10 months after SeungGi left the show), Strong Heart closed its curtains last night…
Lee Seung Gi was the light of Strong Heart.
Lee Seung Gi showed off the best duo play with MC Kang Ho Dong with the chemistry they developed over a long time through KBS 1N2D.
Even though Lee Seung Gi was taking on his first variety program MC position, he achieved a refreshing harmony with Kang Ho Dong the veteran, and made Strong Heart the king of Tuesday night variety.
Then one day, Kang Ho Dong announced temporary retirement due to his tax evasion controversy, and naturally left Strong Heart as well. Thereby starting on October 4 of that year, Lee Seung Gi hosted Strong Heart on his own.
Unlike what people had worried about, Lee Seung Gi, who had grown a great deal under Kang Ho Dong’s tutelage, led ‘Strong Heart’ reliably. Lee Seung Gi filled Kang Ho Dong’s vacancy so perfectly with his balanced hosting skills and witty style of speech that the title ‘First Solo Hosting’ seemed almost meaningless. In addition, Lee Seung Gi proved himself to be a triple threat in singing, acting and hosting, and solidified his position as a ‘multitainer’.
However, when Lee Seung Gi was cast in MBC drama ‘The King 2Hearts’, he left Strong Heart after the broadcast on April 3 of last year.

Everything Lee Seung Gi 
miss him in variety…hope he will comeback in variety after complete or in d middle of his drama…
I thought he was supposed to host a variety show… was it cancelled?
lee seung gi just shines.
im agree, miss him so bad in variety program 😦
Hope someday he will back on variety program
Strong Heart did not produce the biggest star Lee Seung Gi, it’s just the big star Lee Seung Gi shining brightest through Strong Heart.
I beg to differ. LSG was already a star. Strong Heart was one of the areas where more people could see how bright it was. He made the program popular ….not the other way around.
Couldn’t agree wt u more! Why do they always get it backwards? It was the same with 1n2d. They always claim that the show made Seunggi popular. I think its a 2 way benefit. Seunggi made the shows more popular, but the shows gave him the opportunity to shine even brighter. I remember a PD saying that a good number of the guests in Strongheart came to the show because of Seunggi.
I have been looking for a perfect title for the prince and I think I got it! Lee Seung Gi the Multitainer Prince!:0) I like=)
Lee Seung GI is one of the younger SOLO MC —In Korea Variety Show Hopefully he return to variety show as soon as possible……..just like his song ” RETURN”
Did Strong heart end? Strong heart was bad without seung gi
