Broadcaster Kang Ji-young has been named the new DJ of MBC Radio FM4U's "Good Morning FM."

MBC announced Wednesday that Kang will take over the program on Nov. 25, succeeding singer Tei, who hosted "Good Morning FM" for three and a half years.

Kang is expected to break down economic news in an accessible and entertaining way, while also covering a wide range of topics — from workplace conversation starters to practical tips for everyday life.

Kang first gained public attention in 2011 through "Sinipsawon," MBC's talent show for aspiring announcers, before joining JTBC, where Kang served as a weekend anchor on political affairs program "Jeongchibu Hoeui" and "Newsroom."

After going freelance in 2025, Kang expanded into entertainment, appearing on Netflix's "Devil's Plan: Death Room," Disney+'s "Unmyeongjeonjaeng 49" and Coupang Play's "Jikjangindeur 3," among other variety programs.

"Good Morning FM," which first aired in 2003, is one of MBC's flagship morning radio programs. Past DJs have included Kim Sung-joo, Jeon Hyun-moo, Noh Hong-chul, Kim Je-dong and Jang Sung-gyu.
