MBC caster Ko Kang Yong shares thoughts on broadcasting his first major international tournament

MBC caster Ko Kang Yong shared his reflections on his first major international tournament after completing the broadcasting for the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games.

During this tournament, caster Ko Kang Yong was in charge of men's and women's basketball, handball, taekwondo, weightlifting, and more, and recorded number one viewership ratings for major matches, including the men's basketball final.

He recalled being so nervous that he sat blankly for 30 minutes immediately after his first broadcast, and explained that during the preparation process, he contemplated the flow of each sport, coordination with commentators, and expressions that would easily convey information to viewers.

He cited the men's basketball final against Japan and the women's basketball semifinal against China as the most memorable matches.

Caster Ko Kang Yong stated that he learned narrative, vocalization, and quick-wittedness in broadcasting from caster Kim Na-jin, and expressed his desire to continue being a caster who delivers sincerity in an engaging way.
