'Pregnant' Ahn Young-mi leaves MBC Radio

Jang Seong-gyu of MBC Radio's 'Good Morning FM', Muzie of '2 O'Clock Date', and Ahn Young-mi announced their departure.

Broadcaster Jang Seong-gyu will leave 'Good Morning FM This is Jang Seong-gyu' after the broadcast on April 21st.

He has been a comfortable and fun commuting friend for listeners for 3 years and 7 months, and is known to have worked hard to keep his promises to listeners despite the physical burden of his long schedule. As a result, Jang Seong-gyu was recorded as the DJ who held the microphone for the second longest time in the history of 'Good Morning F', following announcer Kim Seong-ju, who hosted the event for a total of 4 years and 6 months. His unique ability to empathize and witty hosting have led to a recent increase in listenership, and he also won the grand prize in the radio category at the 2021 MBC Entertainment Awards.

On April 6th and 7th, the production team of 'Good Morning FM' will prepare an opportunity for 'Kyundi' to meet listeners directly and say their final greetings. The final public broadcast of 'Kyundi' will be held at Aladdin, a mobile studio that will be installed near the stage near the West Lake waterfront of Seokchon Lake.

The successor who will take over Jang Seong-gyu's DJ microphone has not yet been decided. From April 24th, 'Good Morning FM' will be run under a temporary DJ system.

‘Two O’Clock Date, Muzie, Ahn Young-mi’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Two O’clock Date’) hosts Muzie and Ahn Young-mi will bid farewell to listeners at the end of the live broadcast on the 14th.

Musician Muzie and comedian Ahn Young-mi, who also worked together on Celeb Five's 'Shutter', began broadcasting as co-hosts for the first time in the history of '2 O'Clock Date' in September 2019, and have been together for about 3 years and 7 months so far. MBC Radio, which is scheduled to undergo a spring reorganization in May, will air the final broadcast of 'Dude' two weeks early in consideration of Ahn Young-mi's childbirth preparation schedule. Starting on the 17th, actors who have been associated with 'Dude' such as actor Song Jin-woo, singer Young Tak, and Soran band vocalist Ko Young-bae will fill the month of April by serving as special DJs. Listeners can hear the voices of Muzie and Ahn Young-mi until the broadcast on the 16th, which will be broadcast as a recording.

‘Date at 2 o’clock, this is Ahn Young-mi, Musie’ is an MBC radio program that runs every day from 2 to 4 p.m. It started in 1973, and since September 2019, it has been hosted by Kim Ki-deok, the first host, followed by Lee Moon-se, Yoon Do-hyun, Park Myung-soo, Park Kyeong-rim, and Ji Seok-jin. Since then, Muzie and Ahn Young-mi have been hosting the show. Real-time listening is possible through FM 91.9MHz or MBC smart radio application 'Mini'.
