[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Ahn Hyun-mo, Shin Ah-young, and Kim Min-a revealed the reasons why they declared themselves freelancers.

On the 6th, Ahn Hyun-mo, Shin Ah-young, and Kim Min-a appeared as transfer students on JTBC's 'Knowing Bros.' They introduced themselves by saying, "We once played around in the news and transferred here."

Ahn Hyun-mo is a former SBS reporter, Shin Ah-young is a former SBS sports announcer, and Kim Min-a is a former JTBC weathercaster.

The reasons they became freelancers varied. Kim Min-a confessed, "Honestly, I was fired." Having delivered the weather on JTBC's morning news for five years, Kim Min-a explained, "In March, with the news restructuring, the weather segment by the weathercaster disappeared."

She added, "I was never a full-time employee. I was originally free, and now I am even freer."

Ahn Hyun-mo, who worked as an SBS reporter for seven years, said, "I felt I had done enough, so I left," adding, "As we live longer, it would be unfair to do only one thing for our entire lives and then die." He continued, "The more I did it, the more I could have developed, but I was curious about other worlds."

Shin Ah-young, who worked as a sports announcer, said, "I wanted to try activities other than sports, and like Min-a, I was somewhat pushed into it. Because of Hodong, I had no choice but to do it," revealing an anecdote from her appearance on 'Star King.'

She said, "When I was an announcer, I appeared on SBS's 'Star King' in the musical competition segment 'Musical King' and advanced to the finals," adding, "Kang Ho-dong asked me, 'If you become the Musical King, will you quit being an announcer?'"

She continued, "He asked if I would quit, and I answered 'Yes.' After the broadcast aired and I went to work, I could feel the gaze of my seniors who had watched the show," revealing, "Everyone seemed to think, 'She will leave someday.'

She then said, "Exactly six months later, I declared myself a freelancer."
