DAY6's Young K shared his thoughts on his third time participating as a mentor of a vocal competition show.

On the 29th, Young K attended the press conference for ENA's 'THE SCOUT: Stars Reborn' held at Cube Convention Center in Seoul.

Young K is now an experienced mentor, having previously served as a judge on Mnet's 'King of Karaoke: VS' in 2023 and JTBC's 'Girls on Fire' in 2024.

Appearing alongside Lee Seungchul, Kim Jaejoong, Red Velvet's Wendy, and Choo Sunghoon, Young K stated, "Through my various activities, I realized that I personally really love and enjoy sharing the know-how and experiences I've gained since my debut."

He continued, "I was open to any program where I could offer such advice, but I'm glad I joined 'THE SCOUT: Stars Reborn' because it focuses more on growth rather than just selecting and eliminating contestants."

He added, "If the goal was simply just to win or survive each round, the direction would have been different. I believe what the Muses need more is strong basics and a clear direction for growth. I feel this is a program that can truly help them, so I'm doing my aboslute best in my role."

'THE SCOUT: Stars Reborn' will premiere on May 8 at 8 PM (KST). The show highlights the process where top experts in the music industry discover hidden talents who haven't yet had the chance to fully show their talents, offering them a new sense of direction and possibility.
