TV CHOSUN’s ‘Baekban Gihaeng’, airing May 17 at 7:50 PM, will take a spring trip to Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, with the legendary voice of 37 years, Lee Geum-hee. Goyang holds a special meaning for her, as she previously visited the city to attend a BTS concert, and she will officially confess that she is a “true ARMY”!
Lee Geum-hee, who was beloved by viewers for her long-time narration on ‘Human Theater’, shares the decisive reason why she chose to leave the show. When the scheduling of ‘Human Theater’ (which was seeing a surge in ratings) was moved to the slot right before ‘AM Plaza’, a show she also hosted, she decided to step down, stating, “I felt it wouldn’t be polite for viewers to hear my voice consecutively.” However, she shares a funny yet sad episode, admitting she secretly hoped the production team would beg her to stay, but instead, they immediately started looking for her successor.
Living up to her reputation as a legend in the announcing world, Lee Geum-hee easily passed a high-difficulty pronunciation test and even spotted a hidden typo, “March 33rd,” in a sentence instantly. But even this perfect professional had a surprising past! She reveals a “dark history” from her very first announcer final exam, where a salon owner who knew nothing about makeup gave her blue eyelids and bright red lips, leading to her being rejected at lightning speed. Catch the episode at 7:50 PM.
