Former announcer Park Eun-young: “Even when it looks like I have no work, I earn far more than my salary”

Park Eun-young said that appearances can be misleading: although people may think she has little work because she is rarely on television, she earns more through home shopping than she did as a KBS announcer.

Park made the comments while appearing on the YouTube channel of Lee Ji-yeon, who also previously worked as a KBS announcer. Asked about her current activities, Park said people often ask why she no longer appears on TV, adding that she now works in home shopping.

Lee joked that home-shopping companies also choose presenters according to their image. Park, she said, handles beauty products because she is attractive, while Lee works with detergent and laundry products.

Even when it looks like I have no work, I earn far more than my salary.

Park said she remains grateful for home-shopping work but still feels a desire to appear on broadcast television. She acknowledged that some people dismiss that wish as outdated, saying television networks are declining and asking why anyone still talks about broadcasting. Even so, she said their generation had grown up in a different era.

Lee said people now argue that nobody watches legacy media and that everyone should move to new media, especially YouTube. But YouTube, she added, is already saturated. “There is nowhere to go. Still, you do it,” she said.
