Eunji Lee selected as new DJ for ‘Gayo Plaza’

Comedian Lee Eun-ji will be active as a DJ at ‘Gayo Plaza’. ‘Lee Eun-ji’s Song Plaza’ is highly anticipated as she has expressed her bold ambition to become the midday vitamin, red ginseng, and lactic acid bacteria.

On the afternoon of the 20th, a press conference for KBS Cool FM's 'Lee Eun-ji's Song Plaza' was held at the viewer plaza of the KBS main building in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Comedian Lee Eun-ji and PD Choi Yu-bin attended.

On this day, Lee Eun-ji said, "I took the KBS comedy talent recruitment test four times, and I failed all of them. At the time, I wondered why they failed me. Now that I think about it, I think I overdid it. After a long time, I ended up coming back to KBS. Really. “I feel like I’ve been reunited with my ex-boyfriend whom I loved dearly,” she said. The MC made everyone laugh by saying, "Usually, couples who reunite break up for the same reason, but I hope that doesn't happen."

Producer Choi Yu-bin said about the reason for hiring Lee Eun-ji as DJ, "There are many people who listen to Gayo Plaza during lunch hours. We needed someone who is fun and cheerful, and I thought Lee Eun-ji was the right person."

Lee Eun-ji said about becoming a DJ for 'Gayo Plaza', "I was worried whether I could do well. I was nervous because it was a program with a history. But after the meeting, I felt less pressured. I got along well with the producer and writers. I had a good sense of humor." “I am currently in PD Na Young-seok’s division, and I thought PD Choi’s division would not be bad,” he joked.

Next, Eunji Lee pointed out the girl group Ivewa and Le Seraphim as singers she would like to invite to 'Gayo Plaza'. He expressed his wish, "Because I like children, I also want to invite idols. Ive and Le Seraphim, I will be waiting for you at the 'Music Plaza'."

He also mentioned his promise to be number one in listenership. Lee Eun-ji said, "I think there was someone who wanted to broadcast wearing a bikini in the past, but I think that would be difficult," and "I will do a random dance in front of the KBS president. I like communicating with high-ranking people," making people laugh.

When asked what kind of penalty she would receive for being late, PD Choi said, "Shouldn't I be guilty of plastering on the listeners?" and Eunji Lee responded, "Tardiness is a big mistake that even punishment can't make up for. I won't do it. I'm late even when I'm at school." “I’ve never done that before,” he said, showing confidence.

Finally, Lee Eun-ji said, "I hope many people will say that 12 o'clock is Lee Eun-ji's song plaza. I will do my best to recharge my vitamins. I will do my best to become the red ginseng, lactic acid bacteria, lutein, and folic acid in the middle of the day." reported.

The first broadcast of 'Gayo Plaza' hosted by Lee Eun-ji can be seen on KBS Cool FM (89.1 MHz in the metropolitan area) at 12 noon on the 24th.
