[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Broadcaster Im Baek-cheon shared an update on his wife, who is also a broadcaster, Kim Yeon-ju.


On the 25th, Im Baek-cheon appeared as a guest on KBS1's 'Morning Yard' in the 'Tuesday Invitation' segment.


That day, Im Baek-cheon said, "This year marks my 42nd year since debut," adding, "But actually, I have to subtract 6 years of activity because I worked as a construction engineer at a construction company."


He recalled, "When I worked as a construction engineer, I built subway stations and worked hard on Olympic stadiums," and added, "Architecture is a comprehensive art, but it is very tough. So I thought about an easier way to make a living, and since I had done broadcasting in college, I started broadcasting, but it was even harder."


He continued, "My life goal is to live thin and long, like a wet fallen leaf," adding, "Living thick and long is difficult because I don't have that ability."


Im Baek-cheon married Kim Yeon-ju, who was active as a professional MC, on March 27, 1993.


Im Baek-cheon shared an update on Kim Yeon-ju, saying, "My wife Kim Yeon-ju is a good friend and comrade. She is currently studying for her doctorate. I think she will appear on a good broadcast in 3 to 4 years."


Meanwhile, Im Baek-cheon debuted while attending the Department of Architecture at Kookmin University in 1978 by participating in MBC's 'College Music Festival' with Ko Young-sun with the song 'Hanmaeum,' winning an encouragement award. He became well-known as a famous MC in the early 1980s.



Kim Yeon-ju graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in Chemistry Education and was selected as a professional MC at MBC in 1989, working as a broadcaster.
