Broadcaster Kang Ji-young has been selected as the new DJ of MBC Radio's "Good Morning FM."

Following singer Tay, who hosted "Good Morning FM" for three and a half years, Kang will take over hosting duties for MBC FM4U's "Good Morning FM with Kang Ji-young" starting on the 25th.

The slogan for the new "Good Morning FM" led by Kang is "A Smart Start to Your Day." Aiming to make the two-hour morning slot more substantial for office workers who want to catch up on world news as they begin their day, the program plans to cover a wide range of topics, from major news to interesting stories worth sharing with colleagues and useful information that helps in daily life, offering both entertainment and learning.

To this end, various new segments have been prepared. The show will quickly review overnight financial market trends that are easy to miss on busy mornings and share the intriguing behind-the-scenes stories of notable companies. In addition, it plans to add the joy of new discoveries by cheerfully exploring diverse episodes from the workplace and telling stories across a wide range of fields, including history and books.

After gaining recognition through MBC's announcer audition program "New Employee" in 2011, Kang joined JTBC, where she served as a weekend anchor for "Politics Meeting" and "Newsroom," leaving a deep impression on the public with her accurate delivery and stable hosting skills. Since declaring herself a freelancer in 2025, she has expanded her activities by appearing in various variety shows, including Netflix's "Devil's Plan: Death Room" and Disney+'s "War of Destiny 49." Recently, she is showcasing unique charm with witty English ad-libs and exceptional quick thinking on Coupang Play's "Office Workers 3."

Kang, who combines the expertise built as a news anchor with the cheerful talk shown in variety shows, steps up this time as a reliable companion for listeners' mornings. This also carries significance as she reconnects with MBC after 15 years. Anticipation is building over what kind of fresh enjoyment "Good Morning FM," starting anew with Kang, will offer to its listeners.

Meanwhile, "Good Morning FM with Kang Ji-young" will air its first broadcast at 7 a.m. on the 25th and can be listened to daily from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. via MBC FM4U (91.9 MHz in the metropolitan area) and the MBC Smart Radio app "mini."
