Broadcaster Kang Ji-young to Take the Mic on ‘Good Morning FM’; First Show on the 25th

“A smart start to the day” is the new slogan; show previews a morning routine tracking economic and current-affairs trends

Broadcaster 'Kang Ji-young' will join listeners as the new host of 'Good Morning FM,' MBC FM4U’s flagship morning radio program.

MBC officially announced on the 11th that it had selected 'Kang Ji-young' to succeed singer 'Tei,' who has led the program for the past three and a half years. The current DJ, 'Tei,' will step away from the microphone after the broadcast on the 22nd to focus on his main work: a new album and music activities. The show will run with special DJs for two days, the 23rd and 24th, before 'Kang Ji-young' hosts her first live broadcast as the regular DJ on the 25th.

With the revamp, 'Good Morning FM' is adopting a new mission: 'A smart start to the day.' The show will quickly round up overnight developments in global financial markets and major economic trends relevant to commuters, and add a specialist segment that makes the backstories of companies making headlines in the business world accessible and insightful. 'Kang Ji-young' has demonstrated exceptional communication skills and a steady hand hosting programs spanning current affairs, educational content and entertainment. Her distinctive blend of intellect and approachability is expected to create new chemistry in the morning slot.

First airing in 2003, 'Good Morning FM' is MBC Radio’s flagship morning program, broadcast daily from 7 to 9 a.m. Beginning with its first host, broadcaster Kim Sung-joo, the show has featured prominent broadcasters including Jun Hyun-moo, Noh Hong-chul, Kim Je-dong and Jang Sung-kyu, helping workers and students across South Korea start their mornings with energy.
