Singer Na Sang-do made a marriage pledge through "Morning Yard."
KBS held a press conference for KBS 1TV's "Morning Yard" at the KBS headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, on the morning of the 30th. Present were "Morning Yard" 2MCs Eom Ji-in and announcer Park Cheol-gyu, newly joined panel comedian Jung Tae-ho, singers Na Sang-do and Yoon Soo-hyun, and director Kim Dae-hyun, who spoke with domestic reporters about the program's revamp.
"Morning Yard" first aired on May 20, 1991, and marks its 35th anniversary this year. As a representative long-running program of Korea after such a long broadcast period, "Morning Yard" is undertaking a revamp after more than 35 years with the banners of "viewer participation," "fun" and "digital expansion." KBS began implementing the revamp plan today (the 30th), which centers on introducing day-specific specialized formats and strengthening digital content.
The colors of the day-specific corners have become more distinct, and star panels optimized for each day have joined, raising expectations. First, on Monday's "Star couple story," the active trot duo Kim Yang and Na Sang-do, who are active in the trot scene, will appear as panelists. Tuesday's "Famous person with a partner" is a talk show where a celebrity and their close circle appear together to reveal untold backstage stories, with former "Gag Concert" comedian Jung Tae-ho serving as a panelist. Wednesday's flagship corner "Challenge! Stage of dreams" features broadcaster Kim Hye-young and singer Ahn Sung Hoon as panelists. Thursday's "Thursday special lecture: a teacher's move" includes life-oriented special lectures on finance, fashion and health, and comedian Cho Soo-yeon was brought in to ease what could be a stiff lecture atmosphere. Friday's "Quiz show: a ten-million blessing" is a variety quiz show in which four-person teams compete for a maximum prize of 10 million won, boasting the largest prize pool in morning broadcasting history. To this end, singer Yoon Soo-hyun will host as MC and enliven Friday mornings with his distinctive refreshing energy.
Through this, Na Sang-do, who newly joined "Morning Yard" as a fixed panelist, said, "I was nervous about the revamp. But when I heard the signal music, I melted. Announcers Eom Ji-in and Park Cheol-gyu, whom everyone finds comforting, guided the show so comfortably that I didn't feel it was a completely new program. I wondered how many people would find such a comfortable broadcast enjoyable. I think I fit well with 'Morning Yard.' My face is not the kind that's burdensome for being obviously handsome but rather a warm and comforting face. I believe I'm a character that suits Morning Yard," showing pride.
He added, "I plan to get married here. If I get married while I am a panelist, I will announce the marriage on 'Morning Yard' and use the 'Morning Yard' signal as the groom's entrance song. I ask for your support," drawing encouragement.
Above all, Na Sang-do added with a laugh, "Even after my audition ended, I never heard that I had succeeded, but when I said I would appear on 'Morning Yard,' my father said I had truly succeeded. Our elders gather at the community center every morning to watch 'Morning Yard.' There are many good programs Monday through Friday, but please especially watch on Mondays."
"Morning Yard" airs every Monday through Friday at 8:25 a.m. <
