A day before his departure from 'Good Morning', announcer Kim Jae-won delivered emotion and laughter through a meaningful corner.
The episode of KBS1 'Good Morning' broadcast on the 30th was themed 'Challenge! Stage of Dreams', featuring those Kim Jae-won had wanted to see during his 8 years hosting 'Good Morning'.
Kim Jae-won introduced that "Last week, I successfully concluded my regular challenge for the first half of 2025. An amazing stage awaits starting next week." In response, announcer Ga Ae-ran explained, "The birth of homemaker stars begins on August 6th. Today is not a regular broadcast; we have gathered singers who have appeared over the past 8 years, as well as family members of those who are curious."
Kim Jae-won stated, "In fact, today is also amazing. This is my last 'Challenge! Stage of Dreams' with Kim Jae-won. The guests we have today are the singers Kim Jae-won wanted to meet. When you hear their stories, you might be curious about them at that time," and he added, "Please give a warm welcome to the singers and family members Kim Jae-won has wanted to meet during his last 'Challenge! Stage of Dreams'."
After greeting the grants, Kim Jae-won expressed, "Thank you for being my last guest and my last grants," and continued, "I also hope you will support and encourage me. Those who haven't seen me might ask where I am going; I will be leaving KBS after my departure from 'Good Morning' tomorrow. I hope we can part beautifully. Please leave encouraging messages. I have carefully read the messages you have left with sincerity. They have been a great source of strength for me. I hope you look forward to announcer Park Cheol-kyu, who will be making a fresh appearance next week as we say goodbye beautifully."
In the final 'Challenge! Stage of Dreams', Kim Jae-won was with the grants he wanted to see. In particular, when one of the grants sang "Thank you," Kim Jae-won conveyed his heartfelt feelings, saying, "This is also my heart for the viewers."
He even personally escorted elderly grants and shared a congratulatory stage with Ha Chun-hwa, moving seamlessly between humor and a smooth presentation. Kim Jae-won remarked, "Thank you for being with me all this time. I have learned a lot. 'Good Morning' has been a life song for me. Although I couldn't sing a single verse properly, I received encouragement and comfort through this singing program. The encouraging words sent by viewers are like a short poem, a long song. I will cherish them in my heart and work hard in this broader world."
