It is known that he has decided to continue working as a freelancer at SBS, where announcer Bae Sung-jae submitted his resignation, and the background draws attention. This is because something has happened that is far from industry practice.
Biz&Sports World reported on the 16th, borrowing the words of SBS officials, that announcer Bae Sung-jae, who recently submitted his resignation to the company, is expected to be flexible through SBS platforms and programs such as SBS Sports and YouTube even after the declaration as a freelancer.
The broadcasting industry tends to treat retired freelance announcers exclusively. In fact, KBS has created a rule that prohibits freelance announcers from appearing in their programs for three years.
KBS labor and management held a labor-management council in 2008, saying, “In order to strengthen the publicity of broadcasting, if an employee retires from KDHC for the purpose of converting to freelancer, it is prohibited to participate in the program for three years, regardless of program and media.” Adopted.
Due to these regulations, Hyun-moo Jeon, who left KBS in 2012, is actively working as a signage program in terrestrial, cable, and comprehensive programming channels excluding KBS.
In the case of MBC and SBS, it is known that there are no restrictions. Even so, for an announcer who made a pre-declaration in order to prevent the departure of popular announcers, it has been passively tolerated to operate on its own platform. Virtually refrained from appearing for several years.
For this reason, each broadcaster had to watch as a dog chasing a chicken, an announcer from its own who is active in other broadcasters until the period stipulated by internal regulations passed.
The reason why announcer Bae Sung-jae’s case comes in special is because he broke the sometimes explicit and sometimes tacit broadcaster practices.
If the contents of the Biz&Sports World report are true, it is highly likely that SBS will consider the flexibility of announcer Bae Sung-jae in SBS platforms and programs such as its sports channel and YouTube channel.
This can be said to be a testament to the ability of announcer Bae Sung-jae as a broadcaster that SBS has earned high. Bae Seong-jae has long established a name as an SBS signboard announcer with his unique’words’ and ability to progress. His ability to progress is outstanding enough to take charge of World Cup and Olympic soccer and national team soccer broadcast.
Announcer Bae Sung-jae is also thorough in self-management as a broadcaster. He said, “I apologize as a family. Until I die, the name will not be mentioned on the air.”
Because of this combination of both ability and personality, SBS is said to be extremely dry, saying,’I must have you,’ when announcer Bae Sung-jae submitted his resignation.
SBS may be in return for the appreciation of the announcer Bae Sung-jae for protecting the company for a long time. He joined KBS for the 32nd term in 2005 and worked for KBS Gwangju Broadcasting Office, and then in 2006, he joined SBS as the 16th term for the job. After that, despite its popularity, he did not declare free for 15 years and kept his loyalty to SBS.
As for SBS,’Even if you declare free, sports broadcasts are with us. On that condition, I will repair my resignation.’ It is safe to assume that I accepted announcer Bae Sung-jae’s resignation.
