On December 22 an MBC official said, ” The producers have been discussing changes of the cast, including the hosts.” For this year’s Gayo Daejejeon, MBC announced that Girls’ Generation Yoona, EXO Suho, and ASTRO Cha Eunwoo would be the MCs for the event. However, due to the untimely death of SHINee Jonghyun, they are currently discussing changes in consideration of Suho and Yoona who are from the same agency as Jonghyun.

SM Entertainment has canceled schedules for its artist, or the artists themselves have willing pulled out of scheduled activities. Just recently, Red Velvet Irene and Sulgi pulled out of a planned collaboration with TWICE for SBS’s Gayo Daejeon.

SHINee Jonghyun was found in a Gangnam residence suffering from Carbon Monoxide poisoning on December 18. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital due to suicide and laid to rest on December 20. Since this event, artists from SM Entertainment have foregone certain planned activities.
