Announcer Kim Jae-won expressed his gratitude a day before leaving 'Morning Yard'.
In the KBS1 'Morning Yard' broadcast on the 30th, Kim Jae-won said, "The heat wave and scorching weather continue. I hope the recovery efforts for those affected by the flooding are going smoothly. I hear there are quite a few people who can't return home, and I sincerely wish for everyone to quickly return to their daily lives."
He then introduced the guests Moon Young-hee, Yoon Kwang-nam, Jeong Min-chan, Choi Seong, and Hwang Eun-ah, saying, "Today is an amazing day. This is the last 'Challenge Dream Stage' with Kim Jae-won. I have invited the guest singers I wanted to meet."
Kim Jae-won expressed his heartfelt thanks, saying, "I sincerely appreciate the last guest for being here. I hope the guest singers will support me, and I ask for your encouragement as well. Those who didn't watch yesterday or the day before might wonder where Kim Jae-won is going, but I will be leaving KBS after tomorrow's 'Morning Yard'. Let's part beautifully."
He added, "I carefully read every message you left with great sincerity. Your support and encouragement have been a great strength to me. Please look forward to the new announcer Park Cheol-kyu who will appear next week."
Kim Jae-won said, "Thank you for being with me all this time. I have learned a lot from the guests who appeared. 'Morning Yard' is also my life song. Although I can't sing a single line properly, I have received encouragement and comfort through the singing program. Additionally, the lines of support and encouragement from the viewers are both a short poem and a long song. I will cherish them in my heart and work hard in a wider world."
He added, "I have one day left. Isn't it nice to part beautifully with me? I will still be by your side tomorrow."
Kim Jae-won, who has been a part of 'Morning Yard' for a long time, has recently decided to take honorary retirement and will leave after the broadcast on the 31st. His successor will be announcer Park Cheol-kyu, who has been hosting the Friday segment on 'Morning Yard'.
