Lee Kwang-ki also said "I thought my brother would really work a lot when he quit, but he didn't hear from me." Kim Jae-won admitted "No contact" and felt bitter. In particular, he said that if he leaves KBS, he will be banned from appearing on KBS programs for three years.
Nevertheless, Kim Jae-won said "I think self-sufficiency is more important. Confidence is a score that believes in my ability, and self-esteem is a score that respects me." In response, Lee Kwang-ki joked that "Hey, if you say this, you won't come into entertainment.", and Park Kyung-rim joked that "I think public interest advertisements will come in."," he said, drawing laughter around him. However, Lee Kwang-ki once again created a sea of laughter by saying, `Public interest advertisements are not worth money.'
Meanwhile, Kim Jae-won joined KBS in 1995 as the 21st KBS open recruitment and played an active role in KBS sign programs such as 'Morning Madang', '6:00 My Hometown', and 'TV carries love'. In July, he decided to retire voluntarily a year before his retirement age and left KBS.
