[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Broadcaster Jang Sung-kyu missed his radio broadcast due to a lip injury.
On the morning of the 19th, MBC Radio's 'Good Morning FM Jang Sung-kyu' was specially hosted by actor Song Jin-woo instead of DJ Jang Sung-kyu.
Song Jin-woo began by saying, "It is indeed 7 a.m. now, and this is 'Good Morning FM.'
He explained, "Jang Sung-kyu suffered a minor injury, so unfortunately he cannot join us today. I was contacted suddenly yesterday afternoon. Jang Sung-kyu injured his lip area, making pronunciation difficult, so it is challenging for him to host the radio. It is not a serious injury, and we hope he recovers quickly and returns soon."

Also, Song Jin-woo attempted a phone connection with Jang Sung-kyu's manager. The manager said, "He fell forward but fell badly and injured his lip. It has been stitched. It is not a serious injury, but because of the lip injury, pronunciation and speaking are difficult. We will assess his condition today and aim for a quick return."
