The show is the first Korean radio show to be recorded live at the BBC studio.

The show, known in Korea as “Bae Chul-soo’s Music Camp,” has been live every evening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and is one of the oldest radio shows in Korea. Bae has been the host all throughout the show’s history.

The show has had 280 artists from abroad as guests, including Rihanna, Adele and Lady Gaga recently, as well as Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, Michael Bolton, Linkin Park, Will Smith and Jason Mraz.

The special BBC broadcast will also air from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Bae is also to host a TV show on MBC, “Bae Chul-soo Jam,” starting Feb. 3, where he leads discussions with various musicians and artists and hosts live performances as well.

The program will air for the first time at 9:50 p.m. on Feb. 3 and will be co-hosted with Lee Hyun-yi, a model who has hosted several shows including JTBC program “Inside Story Salon.”
