Lee Hye-sung focused on personal success during KBS Ana..I wanted to be like celebrities



Broadcaster Lee Hye-sung recalled his days as a KBS announcer.

Lee Hye-sung's 1% book club on the 26th featured former KBS announcer Kim Jae-won, Lee Hye-sung's senior.

On this day, Lee Hye-sung said, "After over 30 years of being an announcer, I have made a new start. Looking back on the past, I would like to ask what kind of person you think the announcer is"I asked.




In response, Kim Jae-won generally says that it is a job that talks about an announcer and a job that communicates and empathizes well, but in fact, I want to define it as a job that breathes with viewers"I think I was able to come out with a lot of love because I chose "Breakfast Madang" as if I was talking to my family every morning and breathing with them who spent an hour with me."," he replied.

Lee Hye-sung "You spoke so modestly. I don't think all MCs of a program are loved the same way"When I was at KBS, I don't think I thought deeply about my job as an announcer at that time. 'What is the essence of the job of an announcer? What value can I give people?' Rather than these concerns, I feel ashamed, but I think I focused on more personal greed and personal success. I think I'm thinking more fiercely about the identity of an announcer only now," he confessed. "I'm sorry that I couldn't ask for advice or counseling from them. So I wanted to hear that from them today."."

After hearing this, Kim Jae-won confessed that he was ashamed, but it is not a shame at all. It is also the heart of one to two years of experience in any job or job. I worked with a natural mind, and Lee Hye-sung also worked harder than anyone else."




Lee Hye-sung said "Until my mid-20s, I thought glamorous and famous people were amazing. And I think I wanted to be like those people. Those ideas and values have changed a lot now."

Meanwhile, Lee Hye-sung joined KBS in 2016 after graduating from Seoul National University's business administration department. I have been working as a freelancer since I left the company in 2020.
