Anchor Kim Hyun-woo will step down from '8 News' in July.
On the 19th, an official from SBS stated to OSEN, "Anchor Kim Hyun-woo will be replaced in July due to overseas training. The successor is currently under discussion."
Kim Hyun-woo joined SBS in 2005 as a reporter from the 13th public recruitment and served as the weekend anchor for 'Morning Wide' and the weekday anchor for 'Morning Wide' before taking on the role of weekday anchor for '8 News' since May 2017. Kim Hyun-woo, who has held the anchor seat for over 8 years, regrettably announced his departure due to overseas training.
In particular, actor Jo Jung-seok, who played the role of the anchor Lee Hwa-shin, a former reporter in the SBS drama 'Hwashin,' sought advice from Anchor Kim Hyun-woo even before the filming began. The real model for the character Lee Hwa-shin in 'Hwashin' is also Anchor Kim Hyun-woo.
Meanwhile, Anchor Kim Hyun-woo married meteorologist Lee Yeo-jin, who is 8 years younger, in 2019 and welcomed a son the following year.
