Jang Won-young of IVE will step down as a co-host of KBS's music program "Music Bank" to focus on her activities with the girl group.

Her last episode will air Friday, her agency Starship Entertainment said Wednesday.

Jang started co-hosting "Music Bank" in October 2021 and is commonly known as the show's 37th "Bank President," a title derived from the name of the show.

She was well-liked by viewers for her energetic attitude and friendly manner toward the participants.

IVE is planning to hold its first fan concert "The Prom Queens" on Feb. 11 and 12 at Olympic Hall, Seoul.
