Choi Eun-kyung, leaving ‘Dongchimi’ after 13 years “Surprised by the many calls I received while traveling abroad” [Full text]

Broadcaster Choi Eun-kyung shared her thoughts on leaving ‘Dongchimi’.

On the 24th, Choi Eun-kyung confessed her feelings about leaving MBN‘s ‘Sudden Release Show Dongchimi’ after 13 years through her Instagram. She confessed, “I got so many calls yesterday and today... Since I had finished the last recording a few weeks ago, I came on a trip without thinking much about it, but I was surprised to get so many international calls after seeing the article.”.

Choi Eun-kyung said, “It may not seem like it, but I’m the type of person who can‘t stand having all the attention on me, whether it be my thoughts, aspirations, congratulatory speeches, or toasts. For my final greeting, I never did it separately on air. I just thought that having fun recording like I normally do was the best greeting I could give you all, so I just recorded it really excitedly,” and added, “I was embarrassed on air, but seeing you contacting me and expressing your regret made me think it would be polite to say hello to our long-time ‘Dongchimi’ family and those who loved ‘Dongchimi’, even if it was in writing, so I’m leaving this here, even if it’s short.”

She said, “Thanks to the people who have appeared on ‘Dongchimi’ for over 13 years, the people who created ‘Dongchimi’, and the viewers who loved ‘Dongchimi’, I have been able to grow a lot thanks to the stories you have generously shared with me. Through your worries, I have been able to unravel my own, and through your lives, I have been able to change the direction of my life and become a better person as a mother, daughter, and daughter-in-law. It was an honor to work with ‘Dongchimi’, which was truly a reference for my life. Please continue to love ‘Dongchimi’ a lot. Thank you so much.”

Choi Eun-kyung said, “I started in my 40s and now in my 50s, I will excitedly write the liberation diary of ‘Dongchimi’,” and added, “I’ve never taken a break in my life, so I will work hard on more broadcasts and live like I always do. Thank you.”

Meanwhile, ‘Dongchimi’, which first aired in 2012, received much love for 13 years with the MC system of Park Soo-hong and Choi Eun-kyung. After the reorganization, Kim Yong-man, Lee Hyun-yi, and Enoch were selected as new MCs to fill the positions of Park Soo-hong and Choi Eun-kyung.


Here is the full text of Choi Eun-kyung’s writing

You contacted me so many times yesterday and today…

I recorded the last episode a few weeks ago, so I went on a trip without thinking much about it, and when I saw the article, I got so many international calls that I was surprised

On the contrary, I was the one who was surprisedㅋ

In fact, I’m the type of person who can‘t stand having all the attention on me, like expressing my thoughts, aspirations, congratulatory remarks, toasts, etc. (I guess not, right? That’s right)

I didn‘t do my last greeting on air, and I thought that just having fun recording like usual was the best greeting I could give you, so I just recorded it really excitedly

I was embarrassed on air, but seeing you contacting me and expressing your regrets made me think it would be polite to say hello to our long-time Dongchimi family and to those who love Dongchimi, even if it’s just in writing, so I‘m leaving it here, even if it’s short

To those who have appeared on Dongchimi for over 13 years, to those who made Dongchimi, and to the viewers who love Dongchimi, thank you all for your generous support. Thanks to your stories, I was able to grow a lot.

I was able to untangle my own worries through your worries, and I was able to change the direction of my life through your lives, becoming a better person as a mother, daughter, and daughter-in-law.

It was an honor to be with Dongchimi, which was truly a reference book in my life.

Please continue to love Dongchimi a lot. Thank you so much.

I started in my 40s and now I‘m in my 50s. This time, I was the first to congratulate you(?) (you really congratulated me via text message, hehe. Stop pickling dongchimi and go on a spring outing, lol). Just like the title of my book, by author Yoo In-kyung, a thousand suns shine even after you’re in your 50s, so I‘m going to write Dongchimi Liberation Diary with excitement.

I’ve never taken a break from work in my life, lol. As always, I‘ll work hard at Choi Maison and Choi Eun-kyung’s Management Office on more broadcasts. Thank you
