[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Broadcaster Lee Ha-jung appeared on MBC for the first time in 10 years and revealed the story of her first meeting with her husband Jung Joon-ho.

On the night of the 11th, MBC's entertainment program 'Radio Star' aired a special episode titled 'First Time Parents,' featuring singer Park Hyun-bin, former announcer Lee Ha-jung, broadcaster Park Seul-gi, and singer Jo Jung-chi.

Lee Ha-jung, who made her comeback to MBC after 10 years, expressed her feelings, saying, "Tears are blurring my vision. I couldn't sleep since the preliminary casting call."

She continued, "When I received the casting call, Oh Sang-jin was sitting here and crying. At that moment, I wondered, 'Why is he crying if it's good?' but I realized I was the one crying," adding, "I was deeply moved. MBC, which I had left, was the first to call me for casting. I am very grateful."

Lee Ha-jung then shared an anecdote about her first meeting with her husband Jung Joon-ho, saying it was irritating at first. She said, "As you know, I was exhausted because I talked too much. But (Jung Joon-ho) seemed to find that side of me very unique. After finishing a long interview and parting ways, I received a text message," and added, "He apologized and said he would treat me to a meal, then contacted me every other day."

She continued, "After the meal, he said he had something to give me, so I was expecting something, but there was a box of apples in the trunk," and laughed, saying, "Mr. Jung Joon-ho's hometown is Yesan, and he gave me Yesan apples, saying they are delicious."
