Anchor Bae Sung-jae personally shared his thoughts on his marriage to SBS announcer Kim Da-young.

On the opening of SBS PowerFM‘s ‘Bae Sung-jae’s Ten’ on the 7th, Bae Sung-jae said, “The most important people to me are the listeners, so I told them to tell you first, and I was preparing, but I was a step late.” He mentioned his marriage, saying, “It‘s just as reported. I plan to live with Kim Da-young.”

He explained, “We decided to get married without a ceremony or any other procedures. The two of us and our parents were very understanding. Additionally, I don’t have any special plans or news to share.”

He then said about sitting in the DJ‘s seat wearing a suit, “I came here after filming. There were people asking if we were having a (ceremony) today, but we’re not. There‘s no ceremony,” making everyone laugh.

He also said, “I thought I’d continue living alone, but that‘s what happened. The other person also has an exposed job, so I’m careful about talking, but I think you‘re curious about what kind of person he is,” he said, expressing his affection for his wife-to-be, saying, “In every way, she’s a much better person than me, but she ended up getting entangled with me while doing a program called ‘Goltae Nyeo.’”

He said, “I wanted to tell you directly through the radio, so I came running after recording to talk live, excluding the recorded opening broadcast. I‘d like to thank those who congratulated me, and I’m sorry to those who are angry. Still, ‘Beten’ is operating as normal,” he concluded his greeting to the listeners.

He then said, “You have to go on a (honeymoon) trip. We will announce it when the special DJ is decided.”

On the 7th, SM C&C, Bae Sung-jae’s agency, announced the news, saying, “Anchor Bae Sung-jae and SBS announcer Kim Da-young will be tying the knot in May. After dating for two years, the two recently promised to be each other’s companions.”

Anchor Bae Sung-jae, born in 1978, was a KBS 31st open recruitment announcer in 2005 and transferred to SBS the following year, where he was very active.
