TV personality Ha Dong-hoon, better known by his stage name Haha, will host the upcoming SBS children’s entertainment show “Survival Family Quiz Show Quiz Monster!" (translated), SBS announced on Wednesday.

The show, which will first air on Thursday at 6 p.m., will see six children and their families star on each episode and have them solve quizzes as teams.

Announcer Lee Youn-ah and Chaeyeon of girl group Busters will join Ha as co-hosts.

“The production crew [of this show] chose me [as a host] because I’m mentally a child,” joked Ha during an online press conference on Wednesday. “I can share their perspective, and I feel like they’re my friends.”

“I’m also a father of three,” Ha continued. “I will treat [the children who appear on this show] as if they are my own.”
