Broadcaster Hong Seok-cheon referred to Kim Dae-ho, who declared himself a freelancer after leaving MBC, as a 'traitor.'
On the 4th, Hong Seok-cheon and YouTuber Kim Ddol-ddol appeared as guests on MBC FM4U's 'Two O'Clock Date with Ahn Young-mi.'
On that day, the two discussed their YouTube channel 'Hong Seok-cheon's Treasure Box.' While talking about the criteria for inviting guests, Hong Seok-cheon mentioned Kim Dae-ho, who he had previously identified as someone he 'picked.' When this topic came up, Hong Seok-cheon jokingly said, "It was better when I debuted than now," adding, "As I get older, I lose my freshness. I feel like aged meat. I prefer raw meat."
He continued, "I like to nurture those I choose. (Kim Dae-ho) has already succeeded with a pathetic concept, so there's no fun in nurturing him."
On that day, it was also reported that Kim Dae-ho's resignation from MBC, where he had worked for 14 years, was finalized. Hong Seok-cheon said, "They say they're leaving MBC. I dislike traitors. These kinds of people tend to have a bad end. They need to experience hunger to realize and crawl back in," delivering a spicy joke until the end. Ahn Young-mi responded, "No, Jeon Hyun-moo also left, but he still appears on KBS."
