Anchor Um Ji-in temporarily left her spot on 'Morning Garden.'
The segment of KBS1's 'Morning Garden' broadcast on the 28th was held as a special feature titled "I am a master of Korea!"
During the opening, anchors Kim Jae-won and Ga Ae-ran caught attention. Originally, 'Morning Garden' was hosted by anchors Kim Jae-won and Um Ji-in.
In this context, Kim Jae-won said, "I didn't know it would be this hot, even though it's hot. They say last week was the hottest day of the year, and I really thought it was so hot that even goat horns would melt. This Wednesday, we have the 'chobok' waiting. Are you ready to eat something delicious on chobok? Today, facing this heat, the 'Morning Garden' Monday segment team prepared a special meal for us."
He continued, "Actually, I thought Um Ji-in had lots of good fortune in eating, but seeing today, it seems like she has none." He explained why Um Ji-in was not visible, saying, "Coincidentally, she has gone on summer vacation. I will be with Ga Ae-ran for a few days. Please welcome her with a big round of applause."
In response, Ga Ae-ran greeted, "Hello, it's nice to meet you," and humorously remarked, "I seem to have good fortune in eating."
He expressed, "I wanted to meet anchor Kim Jae-won in the morning after about 10 years, so I came saying, 'I will go instead of anchor Um Ji-in,' and I am really excited and thrilled to be able to eat something delicious with these fine people. Today, I will eat a lot, enjoy a lot, and learn a lot on 'Morning Garden.' I also ask for your kind support, Lee Sang-ho and Lee Sang-min."
Meanwhile, anchor Kim Jae-won has been hosting 'Morning Garden' since May 2018, after serving as the MC from November 2008 to April 2013 for about four and a half years. If we include the time he served as MC for the Saturday 'Family Singing Contest' segment from 1999 to 2005, it amounts to nearly 19 years on 'Morning Garden.'
In this context, anchor Kim Jae-won, who joined KBS as part of the 21st recruitment in 1995, has decided to take honorary retirement after 30 years. Accordingly, 'Morning Garden' is also scheduled to conclude its broadcasts on the 31st. The vacancy left by anchor Kim Jae-won will be filled by anchor Park Cheol-kyu, who has been the official MC for 'Double Party' on Fridays since May.
