MBC announcer Kim Dae-ho has grown from a 14-year employee to a professional broadcaster who cares about viewers.
At the ’51st Korea Broadcasting Awards’ held at the KBS TV Open Hall in Yeouido, Seoul on the afternoon of the 2nd and broadcast live on SBS, Kim Dae-ho won the Announcer Award in the Host category.
Kim Dae-ho, who will receive the award from Code Kunst, currently appearing on the MBC entertainment program ‘I Live Alone’, began by saying, “I am even more honored to have come from the MC position last time to this position.” He continued, saying, “I would like to thank my senior and junior announcers, colleagues, and the production staff” as he shared the honor of receiving the award.
Then Kim Dae-ho started saying, ” I have a cold .” He said, “I don’t know how people will hear this, but I think broadcasters should have colds. ” He added, “When I looked up the Chinese characters for ‘cold,’ it means ‘feeling energetic.'” He continued, ” In this rapidly changing broadcasting environment, I hope we can become broadcasters who can quickly catch difficult situations and relieve viewers’ ticklish and difficult parts with a sneeze .”
Then, Kim Dae-ho suddenly sneezed. He said, ” I will personally try to become someone who can make viewers sneeze loudly when they are ticklish and tired, ” and “I cannot always be happy, but I will wish for your utmost happiness.”
Kim Dae-ho joined MBC as an announcer through the program ‘Our Night – New Employees’ in 2011. He previously hosted ‘Zero Complaints UP Zero Man’, ‘Departure Video Travel’, ‘MBC Evening News’, and ‘Power Magazine’.
He said that while he was hosting a radio show in the past, he doubted his qualifications as an announcer and felt that ‘it doesn’t seem like tomorrow’. He even submitted a letter of resignation to the company. He was able to take a leave of absence and return to MBC after being persuaded by his seniors, juniors, and colleagues. Since then, he has been gaining attention by showing his honest and raw charm through the MBC YouTube channel, and has been active in various entertainment programs such as the MBC entertainment program ‘I Live Alone’.
