Broadcaster Kang Su-jeong conveyed the extreme weather conditions caused by the super typhoon "Ragasa" in Hong Kong through social media, prompting concern from fans. She was effectively isolated inside her home. She reported the urgent situation.
On the 24th, Kang Su-jeong posted a photo of the view outside her window on her personal social media. The terrace in the photo was soaked with rainwater, and the outside view was almost invisible due to thick fog and strong winds. Kang Su-jeong said, "I'm glad I brought all the potted plants in yesterday and brought the chairs and table inside," reporting her typhoon preparations, and added, "The wind is tremendous and scary," conveying the urgency on the scene.
On the same day, the Hong Kong Observatory issued the highest-level "typhoon signal No. 10." More than 700 flights had already been canceled due to the typhoon's impact, and since the 22nd schools had been ordered closed, leaving the city virtually paralyzed. The super typhoon, which also struck neighboring Macau, caused severe damage such as water entering hotels, and earlier in Taiwan bridges had collapsed and there were even casualties.
However, the storm exposed even luxury dwellings with terraces turned into pools of water, and outdoor furniture and potted plants exposed to the wind appeared to be in danger, raising fans' worries. Kang Su-jeong said, "I was overconfident because the weather was nice yesterday, and I'm reflecting on that," and added, "I hope it all passes by the afternoon," expressing her wish for the typhoon to dissipate quickly.
On social media and online communities, fans and internet users expressed concern and support. "Stay safe, Kang Su-jeong, please be careful," "Just imagining the sound of the wind is scary," "I hope the typhoon passes quickly. I hope there is no damage not only to Kang Su-jeong's home but to all of Hong Kong," and other messages of sorrow and encouragement continued.
Kang Su-jeong calmly relayed the situation amid the storm and sent safety messages to her fans. Fans and internet users, upon hearing her news, sent messages of support such as "The typhoon will pass soon, stay strong!" and "We hope you get through this safely." With the city virtually paralyzed by the typhoon, voices wishing, like Kang Su-jeong, that everyone safely weathers the storm continued.
Kang Su-jeong rose to fame as the "original an-etainer" after working as a KBS announcer in the 28th class in 2002. After marrying a husband from the financial sector in 2008, she moved to Hong Kong and has lived there for 15 years, and her home in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong, was reported to be an ultra-luxury residence valued at about 8 billion won, attracting attention. Last year on KBS 2TV's Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant, she showed her home boasting an ocean view, drawing interest from fans.
