"Daehoyah, don't come out being hated." Senior anchor Kim Seong-joo's advice was a crucial help to Kim Daehoy's declaration as a freelancer.
On 30th of last month, Kim Daehoy appeared as a guest on the web entertainment show "Naraesik," which was released on YouTube.
Park Na-rae prepared an abundant meal for Kim Daehoy, consisting of seasonal flatfish soup and rice pot, as well as spring greens pancakes, after forming a bond with him through the MBC entertainment program "I Live Alone." Kim Daehoy also responded with a refreshing tone, laughing and saying about his recent status as a freelancer, "I have already paid off my second house loan."
However, the resignation process itself was neat. Kim Daehoy said about MBC, "It’s the company I was with for 14 years, and I really love it. I'm very grateful. I wasn't originally someone who wanted to be on air, and MBC made me who I am today. I just wanted to completely cut ties. You don’t meet someone during a relationship halfway, do you? I thought that was the right thing to do. There was nothing until just before I came out."
Emphasizing that "resignation should be quiet," Kim Daehoy highlighted the advice from senior Kim Seong-joo during his resignation process, both as an anchor and as a freelancer. He said, "I participated in 'The Masked Singer' twice; once as a contestant and once as a judge. At that time, I greeted senior Seong-joo, who was the MC. He held my hand tightly and said, 'Daehoyah, don't come out being hated.' I thought it was nothing much back then, but looking back now, I’m very grateful for that sentiment."
In fact, Kim Seong-joo was loved as a leading anchor at MBC, but after resigning in 2007, he faced a suspension from appearances for a while, evoking sympathy. As Kim Daehoy continues to gain attention with his declaration as a freelancer, Kim Seong-joo's realistic advice is drawing more interest.
