[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] DJs Kang Seok and Kim Hye-young, who hosted the 'Single Bungle Show' for over 30 years, held their final broadcast.

Kim Hye-young said, "I always thought 'that day will come,' 'when that day comes,' but today is that day," adding, "It is the day to say goodbye to our listeners."

She continued, "I will carry your warm hearts as a deep gift in my heart. Thank you for being with us for such a long time."

Kang Seok stated, "It is said that when you die and go before God, God asks two questions: Were you happy? Did you make those around you happy? I was happy to be able to do the 'Single Bungle Show,' and I take some comfort in thinking that the listeners were happy as well."

Special guests including singers Noh Sa-yeon, Hyun Sook, Yoo Hyun-sang, former 'Single Bungle Show' PD and current MBC Deputy Director Jo Jeong-seon, and the first writer Park Kyung-deok appeared to join their farewell.

In particular, Yoo Hyun-sang expressed regret, saying, "I came to personally confirm if this is really the last time the two of you are hosting."

Kang Seok and Kim Hye-young, who hosted the 'Single Bungle Show,' hold the record for the longest-running single program hosts in Korea. Afterward, singers Bae Ki-sung and announcer Heo Il-hoo will serve as temporary hosts for the 'Single Bungle Show.'
