TV announcers find love in younger men

KBS TV announcer Chung Se-jin, 39, will marry a man 10 years her junior.

The former presenter of KBS primetime news show “9 O’clock News,” Chung reportedly sent out wedding invitations to her colleagues earlier last week. The groom-to-be is a fellow Yonsei University alumnus and currently works at a commercial bank in downtown Seoul, sources said.

Chung, who found fandom for her intelligent and modest news reading, will wed at a cathedral in Seoul on June 21.

Chung’s former colleague, former KBS announcer Kim Kyung-ran, on Thursday revealed that she has been dating TV actor Song Jae-hee, who she met at church, for two months.

Thirty-six-year-old Kim, also a former newsreader for the “9 O’clock News,” said she was happy and that she has no intention to hide her “healthy relationship” with the 34-year-old actor of MBC small-screen smash hit “The Moon that Embraces the Sun.”
