After leaving MBC, Baek Ji-yeon, two presidential candidates, consulting, were elected (Ras)



'Ras' Baek Ji-yeon said she played a role as the kingmaker of Jae-ya.

Baek Ji-yeon, Hong Hyun-hee, Choi Jung-hoon and Baek Ji-yeon appeared on the MBC entertainment program 「Radio Star」, which aired on the 21st.

Baek Ji-yeon, who remained legendary as the first, youngest, and longest-serving anchor of MBC. Back Ji-yeon "I started ('News Desk' Anchor) in 1988. Hasn't our country developed remarkably over the years. At that time, it was 'How dare a woman?' I won first place in an in-house audition. Three months after graduating from college, I became an anchor. "When I was a trainee, the company asked us to hire a female anchor, so I auditioned in-house. I'm not qualified because I'm a trainee, but I came first on a field trip with senior anchors. I watched it again because it didn't make sense, and I won again."




Rumors have spread that there is a back bag. There was a rumor that Baek Ji-yeon was the daughter of a large stockholder 'Baekgom' because I was Baek. I heard he bought 10 years' worth of advertisements with great financial power."

Baek Ji-yeon said, `Even the company was opposed to it, saying it was an adventure"The senior said he was against it, too. 'I don't know why you were chosen, but this is an adventure. If you hold out for six months, I'll have a market in my hand. Rather, I think that kind of gaze made me stronger. It's never going to fall. I decided to work hard and become a representative anchor" he said.

Baek Ji-yeon said she played a role as the kingmaker of Jae-ya after leaving MBC. Baek Ji-yeon "There have been several offers, one of which came from a global consulting firm. I rejected the offer and set up a consulting office. But a big consulting firm asked me to do it"As I did so, I received consulting offers from presidential candidates as well. 'I never get into a political campaign. I will do it only as a business, so I signed the confidentiality clause and took on several people. I will not describe it as conservative progressive, but as one side or the other. One person from one side to the other was elected,' he said, surprising.




On the other hand, Baek Ji-yeon also served as an ambassador for luxury brand D. Baek Ji-yeon said, "'When the president of Company D Korea was watching my interview, what is this woman's job. I want to meet him,' he reported to the Asia-Pacific branch and went to the headquarters in France. So the invitation came to France." The door of the plane opened and the protocol began. I was treated like a VIP in the movie and had a meeting."
