Kim Dae-ho mentioned the Olympics broadcast as the reason for leaving MBC.

In the MBC 'Radio Star' broadcast on the 26th, Kim Dae-ho, who declared himself a freelancer after being an MBC announcer, cited the 2024 Paris Olympics as the reason for his departure.

Kim Dae-ho said, "I was nominated for the Daesang last year. I received the Grand Award. Looking at my resume, it's extraordinary," adding, "I didn't expect to receive the Grand Award. At that time, besides the Director General and the Directors, no one knew about my resignation. I couldn't tell the production team or the program, but I felt that if I didn't say it now, I wouldn't be able to thank my colleagues."

Kim Dae-ho said, "As I talked, memories from the past 14 years flashed by like a slideshow. That's why I choked up and tears came to my eyes," which attracted attention.

Kim Gook-jin asked, "What was the reason you retired after receiving the Grand Award?" Kim Dae-ho responded, "I think many people might think that way," adding, "The first person I talked to was the writer of 'I Live Alone.' I discussed it because of my schedule and then talked about it right after. Timing-wise, it was around the end of December."

Kim Dae-ho said, "I had a sense of liability to the company. I thought I had to do my best for the company," adding, "I had never done sports before, but I also did the broadcasts for the Paris Olympics. After that was over, I felt that I had done everything I needed to do."

Kim Dae-ho drew attention by saying that the Paris Olympics broadcast was the trigger for his resignation. He remarked, "It was my first Olympic broadcast. I had always said I couldn't do it," adding, "There are times when one announcer handles up to five events. I promoted the Olympics, but I felt I would cause inconvenience when it came to the broadcasts."

Kim Dae-ho said, "I wondered if I should do something easy, but they suggested I try broadcasting badminton." He added, "I'm not naturally fast with words, and I got mixed up with the athletes' names and made mistakes." Kim Dae-ho also noted, "There were evaluations that Kim Dae-ho shuffled, but I did my best and have no regrets," drawing attention.
