KBS Cool FM (89.1 MHz in the capital region) will unveil a newly revamped Cool FM on May 11, featuring singers Paul Kim and Gabi, a broadcaster who began her career as a dancer, alongside KBS announcer Heo Yu-won.

According to KBS Cool FM on the 30th, Paul Kim will host "Paul Kim's Music Plaza." Following comedian Lee Eun-ji, Paul Kim said, "I am eagerly awaiting my first broadcast with a sense of responsibility and excitement," and added, "As a listener who has long enjoyed radio and as a new DJ, I hope to have gentle conversations with many people and share the lunch hour with them," raising expectations for "Meeting Paul Kim at Noon."

Oh Goo-na, the producer in charge, stated, "Paul Kim's warm empathy and wit will pleasantly dispel the lethargy of the lunch hour," and expressed his ambition to become a lunchtime companion for listeners who seek not just music but "someone to talk to," including solo diners, drivers, and parents caring for children.

Gabi, known as "Queen Gabi" and the former leader of the dance crew Latchika, will take over as the new host of "Super Radio," succeeding Haha. Facing the challenge of hosting the traditional prime-time 2 p.m. slot on radio, she remarked, "It is an immense honor to finally become the radio DJ I have only dreamed of. I will do my utmost to create a pleasant 2 p.m. for KBS radio listeners." Hong A-ram, the producer, affirmed, "Gabi is the ideal person to connect the MZ generation with older generations," and added, "Through Gabi, people of all generations will gather on the radio at 2 p.m. to laugh, chat, and share their daily lives, experiencing a party-like day every day."

KBS announcer Heo Yu-won has also been newly appointed to host "Refreshing Morning," a two-hour program from 5 a.m. daily, drawing high expectations. "Heo Yu-won's Refreshing Morning

will feature music and stories that bring vitality to listeners at the starting line of their day, under the catchphrase 'A zesty, talk-filled start! We open your day with a pleasant mood!'"

Heo Yu-won, a 50th cohort public recruit of KBS, is expected to connect with listeners through her unique fresh and bright charm, with production handled by Kwon Ye-ji PD to enhance the program's quality. Heo Yu-won expressed her affection for the program, saying, "I joined KBS with the dream of becoming a DJ, and that time has arrived sooner than I expected. I am grateful and cherish this moment." She further added, "As Heo Yu-won the human being, not just as announcer Heo Yu-won, I will be a DJ who can make listeners smile with honesty and transparency, empathize with a pure heart, and offer sincere comfort."

Meanwhile, "Paul Kim's Music Plaza," "Gabi's Super Radio," and "Heo Yu-won's Refreshing Morning" will premiere on the 11th at 5 a.m., 12 p.m., and 2 p.m., respectively. They can be heard on KBS Cool FM (89.1 MHz in the capital region) and via the radio applications "KBS Kong" and "KBS Plus."
