[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] "This is for everyone. Except for Oh Se-hoon (Mayor of Seoul)..."

Broadcaster Kim Eo-jun said this on the 30th during the farewell live broadcast of TBS Radio's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory,' while playing the song "Don't Worry, Dear." Kim stepped down from his position as the host of 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory,' which he had been running for 6 years and 3 months.

Kim said, "I have to say this first. I will come back. I will return in 3 years and 6 months. Today is the first day of that 3 years and 6 months. I will come back and start day one again, and after that, I plan to hold the number one spot for 20 years."

Kim said, "Today is the first day of the 3 years and 6 months, and I will spend this time with those who have been with me for the past 6 years and 3 months. I lied about sending the former TBS president Jeong Chan-hyung on a reward vacation to Hawaii. I will omit the title and just call him by name. Jeong Chan-hyung (laughs) was invited as a guest. He came thinking he would be asked to say a few words. I will hand him the microphone toward the end."

Jeong Chan-hyung, former TBS president who was part of the history of News Factory, along with those who appeared most frequently, were invited as special guests on this day.

Kim said, "There are so many guests today that we will split into teams. The first team is the News Factory Hall of Fame guests. They are the most frequent guests by category," introducing the cast including reporter Ryu Mil-hee.

The first part of the broadcast featured taste columnist Hwang Gyo-ik, Kim Eon-gyeong (Director of Mungkul Media Rights Research Institute), lawyer Yang Ji-yeol, reporter Joo Jin-woo, CEO Won Jong-woo (Science and People), and reporter Ryu Mil-hee (TBS).

The second part featured former Minister Jeong Se-hyun, former Director of the Korea National Diplomatic Academy Kim Jun-hyung (Handong University professor), Professor Kang Yoo-jung (Gangnam University), Visiting Professor Hosaka Yuji (Sejong University, Director of Dokdo Comprehensive Research Institute), Professor Choi Bae-geun (Konkuk University Department of Economics), and Professor Lee Jae-gap (Infectious Diseases, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Hallym University).

Meanwhile, Kim is known to resume a broadcast similar to News Factory on YouTube. The broadcast is expected to start on January 9 of the new year. Many of the existing cast members who appeared on the News Factory radio broadcast are also expected to appear on the YouTube broadcast.

Former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won revealed on Facebook on the 27th, "The chief said it will start the second week of January next month, so he begged me to appear, haha. Hmm, I was going to ask~~ We are starting again. See you on the broadcast."
