Kim Dae-ho shed tears under the burden of broadcasting the Olympics 'I didn't think it would be this hard''Nahonsan'



'Na Hon-san' Jeon Hyun-moo sympathized with Kim Dae-ho's broadcasting difficulties.

MBC's entertainment program `I Live Alone' aired on the 16th featured Kim Dae-ho's challenge to broadcast the Paris Olympics.

At the '2024 Paris Olympics', Jeon Hyun-moo made his caster debut with weightlifting and Kim Dae-ho made his badminton debut.



Kim Dae-ho said "It was my first time playing it, so I didn't know it, but seeing him play on the field made my heart warm. I felt a lot of enthusiasm" It was a valuable experience to have a job as an announcer"

Kim Dae-ho arrived in Paris two days before the broadcast. Kim Dae-ho said " (on the plane) I was so nervous. I think I almost prepared it, but I was nervous and watched badminton for 14 hours" he said. Kim Dae-ho met Kim Sung-joo at the Paris airport. Kim Dae-ho said "In the case of Kim Sung-joo, he was a person who mainly played sports. It felt different when we met with the same caster. I feel like I'm meeting you as a professional."



Kim Dae-ho arrived at the accommodation and unpacked his luggage, but he couldn't rest due to the tension. Kim Dae-ho decided to practice broadcasting in earnest. In response, Jeon Hyun-moo also said, "If you study 100 of them, there are fewer than four to five that you use in the field. But you have to do it", he confessed to the pressure.

Then "Daeho's event is difficult to broadcast. Aren't you breathing fast. Things change while you're talking. He sympathized with Kim Dae-ho's difficulties, saying, "When I see veteran casters, I don't talk much."

Kim Dae-ho said "Sports should be accumulated. "I have to gather experience in sports to learn it on the spot. Isn't this my first time?" he said. "I organized all the information in my own way because I had to watch a better game." he said.

The next day, Kim Dae-ho finally entered the stadium. Kim Dae-ho, who saw the players in practice, said "The players who were only seen on the screen were in front of him. It really makes a loud sound. I felt that this is the world and this is the world class."

Kim Dae-ho said, `Even though I'm not technically good, let's call out the names of the players who have practiced for years. Let's keep an eye on the support with my own eyes."

Kim Dae-ho even took a mock test to practice broadcasting. The mock test was to broadcast an unknown game in front of everyone. To see the caster and commentator's breathing. When the rehearsal started, Kim Dae-ho stuttered, and Kim Dae-ho, who was watching it on video, said, "I can't be here."I kicked off my seat and stood up. In response, neither Jeon Hyun-moo nor `I can't stand it either"Even if the PD is from the same company, they are different people. He's someone I've never met before. It's like an announcer interview."

Kim Dae-ho was very nervous in the first rehearsal, but his skills gradually improved as he received feedback. Kim Dae-ho even showed tears as he looked at himself. Kim Dae-ho said "Because I have to bear that weight. If you don't, don't do it. He confessed his burden because he had to do it.

Kim Dae-ho said, `Without that moment, it would have been difficult to fully digest the Olympic period. That moment was important" he said. The panelists who saw Kim Dae-ho were surprised by "I knew it was difficult, but I didn't know it was this hard."
