Baek Ji-yeon expressed her affection for her son and daughter-in-law.
On the 21st, during the broadcast of MBC's 'Radio Star,' Baek Ji-yeon, a former MBC announcer, appeared as a guest for the 'ultimate champion' special.
On this day, Baek Ji-yeon said she granted an appearance on 'Radio Star' after 18 years of invitations. Baek noted, "My son and daughter-in-law are in the United States, and they said they watch 'Radio Star' there," which drew attention as she indicated that her son and daughter-in-law were the reason for her appearance.
Baek Ji-yeon recalled a broadcasting incident when she mentioned 'the listening device in my ear.' Baek said, "When I do news, it's just the camera director and the anchor. Sometimes, when there's breaking news, other people rush in."
Baek Ji-yeon said, "I wondered who was coming in, thinking it was a new person. When they came close to the camera, I thought it was strange how close they were getting. At that moment, they suddenly snatched the microphone and started talking," which drew attention.
Baek Ji-yeon said, "I am originally very timid and can't even watch scary movies. But when I stand in front of the camera, I doesn't get nervous. At that time, I thought, 'How can such a bizarre thing happen?' and reported the news without a care," which brought laughter.
Baek Ji-yeon said, "It was the most powerful incident in broadcasting history and is still talked about today," adding, "Back then, entering the broadcasting station was easy. Since then, it has become a fortress."
Baek Ji-yeon said, "When broadcasting outdoors, the lights attract all sorts of bugs. They even get into my mouth. At that time, I just swallowed them and continued with the news," demonstrating her professionalism.
Baek Ji-yeon said, "I worked as a reporter after coming to work at 9 a.m. while pregnant and did the news at night," adding, "My body swelled up like pregnancy-induced hypertension, and I wore slippers while doing the news. News became prenatal education for my son. I am so sorry."
