MBC Anchor Kim Su-ji has returned to the 'News Desk' after 4 months since giving birth. She has come back to the field with a more mature appearance after having a daughter.
On the 23rd, Anchor Kim announced her return to the news desk through her social media. She expressed her gratitude, saying, "I am thankful to the company for accommodating my return to my original position and to my colleagues who filled the vacancy with strength." In particular, through her closing remarks, she pledged, "I will stay by the viewers with the same mindset as before," revealing her sense of responsibility as a professional broadcaster.
The reason this return is receiving more attention is due to the hardships she shared in the past as a 'working mom.' During her 8th month of pregnancy, she appeared on the entertainment program 'Radio Star' and confessed to a harrowing moment she experienced while presenting the news. At that time, due to severe morning sickness, she had to rush to the restroom during a brief moment when her partner anchor was speaking, which drew sympathy and support from many viewers.
Colleagues are also sending their congratulations on her healthy return. JTBC Anchor Han Min-yong, who gave birth to twins last year, expressed surprise and sent warm support, saying, "Has it already been that long?" This highlights the bond as fellow 'working mom' anchors.
After about 4 months of rest following the birth of her daughter last October, viewers are responding with warm welcomes, saying, "It's the voice we've been waiting for," "I'm glad you returned healthy," and "The news seems deeper after becoming a mom."
