Broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo is set to challenge as an official sports caster for the SBS broadcast of the Asian Games.

According to SBS, Jeon Hyun-moo, who has taken on the role of a sports caster following the Paris Olympics and the North America World Cup, will cover the men's high jump featuring Woo Sang-hyuk and the recurve archery events at this year's Asian Games. In particular, he is scheduled to present a unique broadcast by taking charge of the men's high jump final, where Woo Sang-hyuk, who has won consecutive silver medals in two previous Asian Games, will challenge for his first Asian Games gold medal, alongside the recurve archery events where gold medals are concentrated toward the end of the tournament.

On the 17th, expressing his feelings upon joining the cast, Jeon Hyun-moo said, "It is a great honor," and declared his determination: "Since many national team athletes have worked hard through training, I will study diligently to ensure their efforts are not in vain and will strive to retain the number one rating."

For this Asian Games broadcast, the areas Jeon Hyun-moo has focused on most in his preparation are 'fun' and 'easy-to-understand delivery.' Jeon Hyun-moo stated, "Since there are many people who are already excellent at general broadcasts, I want to add fun so that even those who don't usually watch can tune in," and added, "I am studying to convey rules and other details of the sports in an easy-to-understand manner."

In particular, archery is a sport where Jeon Hyun-moo can leverage his own strengths. Although this is his first official sports broadcast, Jeon Hyun-moo revealed his confidence by saying, "It was an entertainment program on another channel, but I have covered idol archery broadcasts for 10 years." He continued, "Although this is my first official broadcast, I will prepare diligently so that it doesn't feel like one," and added, "I will strive to bring out the fun and interest not seen in existing broadcasts so that even those who were not interested in archery can be drawn to sit in front of their TVs."

However, this does not mean he intends to present a broadcast where he talks excessively. On the contrary, Jeon Hyun-moo is also focusing on capturing the tension and immersion of archery. He explained, "Paradoxically, I plan to focus on selection and concentration rather than talking too much," and added, "I am not trying to make it too fun; instead, during tense moments, I intend to reduce my commentary."

He further added, "I will properly convey terminology explanations or exciting moments, but in scenes that require intense concentration or are particularly tense, I will try to control the pace by holding our breath together and watching," previewing a broadcast that captures both fun and immersion.

Among the events assigned to Jeon Hyun-moo, the men's high jump has drawn particular attention. Woo Sang-hyuk is challenging for his first Asian Games gold medal at this tournament. Jeon Hyun-moo is scheduled to cover the men's high jump final, where Woo Sang-hyuk's challenge hangs in the balance, as well as the recurve archery matches where gold medals are concentrated toward the end of the event, aiming to vividly convey the hot moments on site.

Finally, Jeon Hyun-moo stated, "I will present a broadcast that is fun and not boring so that people can become interested in and enjoy the Asian Games, but it will be a thoroughly prepared broadcast," delivering a powerful declaration of his intent.

SBS's 2026 Nagoya Asian Games will open on the 19th and run for 16 days until October 4.
