Broadcaster and former announcer Choi Dong-seok has shared an update on his life as he embarks on a new career path.

Choi announced Sunday on his social media that he is pursuing a role as a place curator. "I have always been deeply interested in spaces," he said.

"It is not a grand beginning," he said. "It is an attempt to continue doing what I have loved, but with a bit more seriousness and depth." He added that while it may start as a hobby, it could become a new profession over time.

"There is no such thing as too late to start something new in life," Choi said, outlining plans to document various spaces he visits firsthand and the stories he discovers within them. He said he hopes to introduce places that each have their own charm and leave a lasting impression, rather than well-known or flashy destinations.

Choi married fellow KBS announcer Park Ji-yun — both part of the broadcaster's 30th announcer cohort — in 2009, and the couple had a son and a daughter. They divorced in 2023 after 14 years of marriage.
