Lee Hyun shared her thoughts on being selected as the MC for "Dongchimi."

On the 26th, during the broadcast of KBS Cool FM "Park Myung-soo's Radio Show," fixed guest Baekga and Lee Hyun grants appeared.

On this day, Park Myung-soo congratulated Lee Hyun, who was recently selected as the MC for MBN's "Dongchimi," noting, "Once you get in, it's a program that runs for at least 10 years. It's like getting into a conglomerate."

In response, Lee Hyun said, “I’m very grateful. It’s an honor to join such a great program, and I will work hard.”

Park Myung-soo then remarked, “I’m working with Kim Yong-man, who I really like. I’m getting older, so I wish they would have given me a chance too,” and humorously added, “I hope you’ll take care to ensure that I can follow after Yong-man.”

Meanwhile, "Dongchimi," which first aired in November 2012, was hosted by Park Soo-hong and Choi Eun-kyung, who were running MBC's "Happy Time!" at the time. It has continued for 13 years, establishing itself as a long-running program.

On the 24th, news broke that Park Soo-hong and Choi Eun-kyung would exit MBN's "Sokpuli Show Dongchimi." They were informed of their departure due to program reorganization, despite being key figures when the network launched.

Park Soo-hong and Choi Eun-kyung have reportedly already completed their final recording for "Dongchimi." Following their sudden departure, it has been noted that they did not have the chance to say farewell, raising suspicions of forced exit.

In response, Choi Eun-kyung stated via her social media, “The best farewell I can give you all is to just record with fun as usual rather than doing a separate farewell on the broadcast. I recorded very excitedly thinking about it.” She continued, “Seeing everyone reaching out and expressing their regrets, I feel it’s only polite to send a message of greeting to our long-time "Dongchimi" family and those who loved "Dongchimi."

The revamped "Dongchimi" is reported to have Kim Yong-man, Lee Hyun, and Enok newly selected as MCs to fill the vacancies left by Park Soo-hong and Choi Eun-kyung.
