Jo Jae-ju Sparks Controversy with Statement "I Offer My Formal Apology" to Anchor Kim Joo-ha

Singer Jo Jae-ju has become a hot topic after a teaser video was released showing him offering a formal apology to anchor Kim Joo-ha. This is a preview of the new concept issue-maker talk show 'Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night', which will premiere on the 22nd on MBN.

MBN teased the fiery chemistry between Kim Joo-ha, Moon Se-yoon, and Jo Jae-ju through the first teaser video released on the 4th. This program, which promotes 'Day and Night, Calm and Passion, Information and Emotion', is conceptually based on the magazine office 'Day and Night', with Kim Joo-ha as the editor-in-chief and Moon Se-yoon and Jo Jae-ju as editors, interviewing celebrities from various fields and directly covering diverse locations.

The Appeal of Fact-Checking and Direct Statements

In the teaser video, Kim Joo-ha showcases a different appeal from her image as a 28-year veteran anchor. When Moon Se-yoon hesitates, unable to decide on a title, saying "Anchor-nim, Director-nim?", Kim Joo-ha fact-checks him by saying, "Neither a director nor an executive director."

The most notable moment is when Kim Joo-ha throws a direct statement saying, "Honestly, I was hoping for a single to come in." To this, Jo Jae-ju responded, "I will formally apologize", bowing his head and eliciting laughter.

Kim Joo-ha's New Transformation and Jo Jae-ju's Joining

Kim Joo-ha joined as a public announcer at MBC in 1997 and has established herself as a leading anchor in South Korea for 28 years, hosting MBN's 'News Desk', MBN's 'News 7', and more. After stepping down from the anchor position of MBN News 7 in March 2025 and being promoted to executive director, she attempts a new transformation through this talk show.

Singer Jo Jae-ju is gaining attention as a blue-chip in the broadcasting industry with his witty speech and natural sense of humor. The production team stated, "Viewers will be able to see a new side of Kim Joo-ha that has never been seen before," adding, "We will present a new genre of talk show with the fresh chemistry of Editor-in-Chief Kim Joo-ha and Editors Moon Se-yoon and Jo Jae-ju."

'Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night' will premiere on Saturday, November 22 at 9:40 PM.
