Broadcaster Jo Jung-sik has signed an exclusive contract with SM C&C.

SM C&C stated, “We have joined broadcaster Jo Jung-sik, who possesses both a passion for laughter and a gift for the gab. We will not spare any material or spiritual support to help him demonstrate his abilities.”

Jo Jung-sik joined SBS in 2012 as the 18th open announcer and has been active as a representative announcer of SBS, instilling stability in various fields such as culture, sports broadcasting, radio DJ, and entertainment programs. Jo Jung-sik‘s stage has since expanded to YouTube. He has made a name for himself as a unique host with overflowing talent in SBS Mobidic Channel’s ‘Jessi‘s Shorterview’, ‘Official Request’, and ‘Why Not Crew’ Season 1 and Season 2.

Jo Jeong-sik, who declared his free agency in 2023, caught people’s attention by surprisingly releasing the audio and music video for his self-composed song ‘Declaration of Independence’. Not only is his high-level singing and rapping skills essential, but his message of ambition to ‘Quit’ has drawn a groundbreaking response in the era of self-PR. After leaving the company, he appeared on MBC‘s ‘Radio Star’, and was praised as having the potential to become a ‘professional entertainer’ by showing off his fresh individual skills and entertainment sense that surprised the MCs.

Last year, Jo Jung-sik was selected as the first DJ from another broadcasting station for KBS Cool FM’s ‘Jo Jung-sik‘s FM Parade’, and is communicating with listeners every morning from 7 to 9 a.m. with a cheerful energy. In particular, he was honored to receive the DJ of the Year award at the ‘2024 KBS Entertainment Awards’ in his first year as a DJ.

As Jo Jung-sik, an MC and broadcaster with a great sense, and SM C&C, which has the best management system and artists in the country, have announced a new beginning together, expectations and interest in the synergy they will show in the future are high.
