On October 8, Geum shared on her social media account, "Last Friday (October 6) marked my final day delivering the weather as a weathercaster. During my nearly five years at MBC, I always approached the camera with joy and excitement to share the weather with you," confirming her resignation.
She continued, "I have no regrets as I gave my best to every broadcast, from special reports during disasters to early morning shows. However, it's honest to say that I feel a sense of emptiness and regret knowing that the work and career I loved are coming to an end."
Geum expressed her hopes for the future, stating, "Nevertheless, I hope this conclusion marks a new beginning. I will greet you again with a new image. I sincerely thank the seniors and directors who supported me until my last broadcast. I wish everyone health and happiness in the new year."
