Lee Seong-bae wrote on his account on the 14th, "I say my last goodbyes to MBC today."The day when I first entered the broadcasting station 17 years ago with an unfamiliar pass around my neck is still clear. I'm putting down that pass today. He said, "I'm leaving the company."
"MBC wasn't just a job for me," he continued. "It was a place of life that made me live as a person, a thinker, and a message of the times," he said, expressing his extraordinary affection for MBC.
At the same time, "I decided to take a step back from my familiar and warm place and jump into an era of chaos."I try to throw my life into a new path, even though I know it's a path I can't go back to. Hopefully at the end of it is the beginning of a change for someone. I hope that the path will be filled with the public language and sincere attitude that I learned at MBC."
Some raised the possibility that Lee Sung-bae would join former Daegu Mayor Hong Joon Pyo's primary camp. TV Chosun reported on the same day that he will be the spokesman for former Mayor Hong's camp, along with the news of Lee Sung-bae's resignation.
Lee Seong-bae, born in 1981, joined MBC as the 27th announcer for the open recruitment of MBC in 2008 and hosted radio programs 'Before Sunrise is Lee Seong-bae', 'This is the morning that opens the world', news programs 'MBC 2 o'clock News Exhibition', '12 MBC News' and 'MBC Noon News'.
Former mayor Hong, who resigned as mayor of Daegu Metropolitan City after officially announcing his candidacy for the 21st presidential election, which will be held due to the dismissal of President Yoon Suk Yeol, held a ceremony at 2 p.m. at the election office in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo, Seoul. At 4 p.m., the camp appointment announcement will be made, including a spokesman appointment.
