KBS's Paris Olympics broadcast ranked first in the women's sabre final, which was broadcast early on the 4th (Korea time), and the semifinal match between women's boxing Lim Ae-ji, which was broadcast at night.
The fencing women's sabre final match between South Korea and Ukraine, which was broadcast live on KBS2 at 3 a.m. on the 4th, had a 1.7 percent viewership, proving high interest even though it was in the early morning hours.
In particular, attention seems to have been paid to KBS fencing commentator Kim Jung-hwan X Kim Joon-ho, who completed all broadcasting schedules of the Paris Olympics.
Kim Jung-hwan and Kim Jun-ho made headlines throughout the competition with nicknames such as 'AI commentary' and 'human sensor' as they were the previous Olympic national team members.
On the same day, Kim Jung-hwan and Kim Jun-ho remained cool during the game, but enthusiastically encouraged the national team's silver medal, saying, `I will win enough gold medals in the next Olympics.'
In addition, the women's 54kg boxing semifinal match between Lim Ae-ji and Hatize Akbas (Turkiye), which was broadcast from 11:43 p.m. on the 4th, also ranked first in the overall ratings of the match with a high viewer rating of 5.1%. Viewers cheered at the weekend night for Lim Ae-ji's bronze medal, the first medal in Korean women's boxing history, and KBS commentator Kim Kwang-sun's proven 「Gold medal-class commentary」 added to the immersion. Kim Kwang-sun said, `I wish I could have attacked him a little more in the third round, but it's a pity.'
