Producer Lim Ki-soon said at the 700th & new presenter press conference of KBS1 'Korean Table' held at KBS New Hall in Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 10th that he wanted to invite a person with high public awareness as a new presenter.
Starting with its first broadcast in January 2011, 'Korean Table' has traveled all over the country for the past 14 years and three months to unravel the lives and culture of Koreans on the table. Beyond simple food programs, it has served as a 'taste memory store' that records the culture, history, and stories of local communities contained in one meal and contains memories and longing.
Choi Soo-jong will take over MC Choi Bul-am's baton and share the long journey with 'Korean rice'. Producer Lim Ki-soon said, `The production team also had deep concerns about who should go to the next presenter as the reason for selecting Choi Soo-jong as the new presenter. The most important thing as a presenter was to be a person with a high public recognition that anyone, regardless of gender or age, could welcome. I also thought it would be nice to be a person who can express warmth and blend well with many people on the set and maintain a good relationship. Finally, he had to be a healthy person who could understand the identity, meaning, and record and value of food culture brought by the `Korean Table' with his heart and convey it to the viewers with his heartAs you all know, Choi Soo-jong is an actor that even elementary school students know and is a symbol of KBS's epic drama. Earlier, if Choi Bul-am had established a solid foundation with the current, actor Choi Soo-jong's image as a national husband was a big advantage" he said.
Meanwhile, the 700th episode of KBS1 "Korean Table" will air at 7:40 p.m. on the 10th.
