Comedian and TV show host Kang Ho-dong will take the helm of MBN's new entertainment show "Eat More Before You Leave" (translated) to be aired next month, his agency SM C&C announced on Tuesday.

In the show, Kang and celebrity chef Im Ji-ho, known for his food documentary "The Wandering Chef," will invite celebrities to their set, a house located on top of a mountain, and prepare a meal for the guests.

"It’s a new type of entertainment show hosted by Kang that will run in a food documentary format,” the official of the show said. “We will also get to learn about chef Lim’s cooking philosophies.”

Kang currently appears on the eighth season of tvN variety show “New Journey to the West” and JTBC’s variety show “Knowing Bros.”
