Broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk delivered a congratulatory message on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of "Kim Young-chul's Power FM." DJ Kim Young-chul was on the verge of tears upon hearing Yoo's heartfelt tribute.

On the episode of SBS Power FM's "Kim Young-chul's Power FM" (also known as "Chepaem") aired on the 19th, a special congratulatory message prepared by Yoo Jae-suk for Kim Young-chul, who is approaching his 10th anniversary on air on the 24th, was revealed. Given that the two have maintained a close friendship for a long time, Yoo's warm encouragement felt all the more special to Kim.

On this day, Yoo Jae-suk began by saying, "I sincerely congratulate you on the 10th anniversary of 'Kim Young-chul's Power FM.'" He then added, "The 7 a.m. time slot is truly not an easy one, but the fact that you have consistently held your ground in that position for 10 years itself serves as a prime example of Mr. Young-chul's diligence," applauding Kim for his steadfast commitment to morning broadcasting over the past decade.

Yoo Jae-suk also spoke about Kim Young-chul's character, which he has observed as a long-time colleague. "The Young-chul I know is someone I have watched for a long time, but he is always full of energy and never truly neglects his studies or self-improvement," he said. "It seems that with such positive energy from Young-chul, many people's days are cheerfully opened every morning." He also mentioned hearing the news that Kim had maintained the number one spot in the morning time slot for 10 years, exclaiming, "That is truly an amazing achievement."

Finally, Yoo Jae-suk expressed his hope that Kim would become a DJ loved for a long time, extending beyond 10 years to 20 and even 30 years. He also asked the listeners, known as "Cheolgaru," to continue their unwavering support. He concluded the message with the heartfelt words, "Young-chul, I truly congratulate you on your 10th anniversary."

Kim Young-chul, who was on the verge of tears upon receiving Yoo Jae-suk's unexpected congratulatory message, described it as a "message beyond mere comfort," expressing deep emotion. He also said, "I almost cried. What should I do, wiping my tears," while trying to calm his emotional state, adding, "As we reach our 10th anniversary, there are truly many things happening," sharing his unique reflections.

In particular, Kim Young-chul noted that a remark made by Yoo Jae-suk on "You Quiz" ("Yoo Quiz On The Block") in (last) January "flashes through my mind." He cited the conversation he had with Yoo during his appearance on the tvN variety show "Yoo Quiz On The Block" last January as one of his own "tear buttons."

Even amidst the lingering emotion, Kim Young-chul steadfastly continued hosting his segments, demonstrating the professional spirit befitting a DJ in his 10th year. In particular, he performed an impression of Yoo Jae-suk, regaining his signature cheerful energy and turning the touching atmosphere back into laughter.
