On the 26th, a video was uploaded to the Wiracle saying, "'The secret of life realized by an announcer of 30 years who interviewed 10,000 people.'" In the video, Kim Jae-won appeared to reveal rumors related to his resignation and his feelings during the last broadcast of 'Morning Madang', which he hosted for 12 years.
On this day, Park Wi said, `There are dozens of shorts flying on YouTube these days that are the shocking reasons why announcer Kim Jae-won is leaving the morning yard, and I think you need to explain this controversy.'
In response, Kim Jae-won "Actually, I was surprised, too. Several videos have been posted, including all kinds of minor fake news. There was fake news saying that I received billions of severance pay or that I opened a coffee shop on an island with tens of billions of won worth of assets. "Voluntary resignation is right. First of all, I'm a year away from retirement, and I've decided to go out to the wider world first." Then "And the severance pay is not that big. I would like to inform you that it is a very small amount because I even received an interim settlement while studying abroad in the past," he stressed.
Kim Jae-won, who has hosted 'Morning Madang' for 12 years, said 'Morning Madang\' is set to premiere 10,000 times in early October. I opened 3,300 mornings out of 10,000," he said, expressing his pride.

When asked if he walked off work on the last day of last month's broadcast, Kim Jae-won said, `I tried to walk off work on the last day as well. However, so many people came to the last broadcast and gave me gifts, so I got a class announcer car and got off work."
Then "I was really grateful. The studio was filled by not only the production team they worked with, but also fellow announcers and juniors they worked with before. Above all, many viewers encouraged and cheered me up, so I wondered if I could receive this much love. I think it was a moment that was loved more than my wedding and even a funeral that I'll have one day," he said, expressing his gratitude.
Meanwhile, Kim Jae-won joined KBS 21st open announcer in 1995 and hosted KBS 1TV 'Morning Madang' for about 12 years.
