Kim Dae-ho to explore corporate life in new variety show

TV CHOSUN will premiere "Office Worker Dae-ho" on the 15th, featuring former MBC announcer Kim Dae-ho visiting companies like Samsung Biologics and Graphy to compare the working environments and organizational cultures of large corporations and startups.

Broadcaster Kim Dae-ho is transforming back into an office worker approximately one and a half years after leaving MBC. He will meet viewers through a new variety program where he visits Samsung Biologics and startups to uncover the raw reality of corporate life.

TV CHOSUN announced on the 13th that the new variety program "Office Worker Dae-ho" will premiere on the 15th. The program is structured around Kim Dae-ho visiting various companies across the country to explore actual workplace life that is difficult to understand through recruitment notices or promotional materials alone. The core of the show is to verify on-site the differences between a company's image and its reality, as well as the environments in which employees work and the welfare benefits they enjoy.

Kim Dae-ho will head to corporate sites driven by public curiosity regarding the stable working environments and solid welfare of large corporations, as well as the free and flexible organizational cultures of startups. Rather than focusing solely on a company's outward appearance or brand value, he is expected to look into the actual working environments and organizational atmospheres experienced by members.

In particular, he will uncover the inner workings of companies by meeting and talking with employees of various ranks, from the youngest staff members to CEOs. The show is expected to deliver realistic stories of workers by meticulously examining not only welfare systems and working environments but also the actual work and daily lives experienced within the organization. A key point of interest will be whether Kim Dae-ho's characteristic honest and unrestrained questioning can draw out interesting stories from inside the companies.

In the first broadcast, he will visit Samsung Biologics, a biopharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), and Graphy, a company that has commercialized 3D printing-based clear orthodontic devices. By visiting a large corporation leading the global bio industry and a company that has grown based on original technology side-by-side, the show is expected to allow for a comparison of their different organizational cultures and working environments.

Kim Dae-ho, a former MBC announcer, has been active as a freelance broadcaster since his resignation last year. As someone who understands the life of an office worker better than anyone, "Office Worker Dae-ho" is expected to serve as a return stage with a new meaning as he embarks on exploring workplaces by visiting companies nationwide.

Attention is focused on what realistic stories Kim Dae-ho will hear at Samsung Biologics and Graphy, and what kind of chemistry he will show with the members of each company. "Office Worker Dae-ho," which will capture the true face of workplaces and the vivid stories of workers that cannot be known through recruitment notices alone, premieres on the 15th.
