On the recent episode of MBC's variety show 'The Manager' aired on the 3rd, veteran announcer Moon Ji-ae shared her thoughts on why she didn't marry into a chaebol family while advising her junior, announcer Park So-young.
Park So-young returned to the show with her upgraded quirky and lively energy, captivating the studio with her hiking story with Yang Se-hyung, which hinted at a budding romance. Her unique running style added to her charm. Back home, she attempted cooking using 'Black and White Chef' Monk Sunjae's recipe, eventually creating a decent zucchini soybean paste stew and flower pancakes, much to the amusement of the commentators.
Despite her quirky daily life, Park So-young was all professionalism when it came to her job. As the host of a baseball program, she diligently watched game videos and studied player information even during meals. She also pursued her dream of hosting the lottery draw show 'Golden Hand,' showing her enthusiasm by preparing a golden dress. Once the camera rolled, she seamlessly switched to her announcer mode, successfully completing the draw without a hitch.
The advice from senior announcers Jeon Jong-hwan and Moon Ji-ae was invaluable to her. Moon Ji-ae, known as the original 'annatainer,' encouraged Park So-young to embrace her interest in variety shows and the attention it brings. Regarding the public's interest in her relationship with Yang Se-hyung, Moon Ji-ae advised her to enjoy it.
When Park So-young asked Moon Ji-ae about her choice of spouse, Moon Ji-ae humorously replied, "People often ask why I didn't marry into a chaebol family and chose love instead. The reason is simple: no one contacted me." When Jeon Jong-hwan asked if she would have accepted if contacted, Moon Ji-ae playfully responded with "no comment."
