Former MBC personality Kim Dae Ho addresses rumors of an entertainment ban with confidence, emphasizing his jam-packed schedule in a recent encounter.

In an online video on StudioHey's channel, Kim was surprised by JTBC announcer Kang Ji Young who arrived with a gift near the MBC building's futsal field.

Spotting a man napping on a bench, Kang hesitated, questioning if it was Kim and expressing concern about his public image. Startled to find it was indeed Kim, she woke him with a chuckle.

Greeted by Kang with New Year wishes and gifts, Kim joked about his hectic schedule and expressed gratitude, albeit noting the planner was too small for his packed agenda.

Asserting his busy itinerary, Kim jested with Kang before playfully admitting he was just kidding about it being a leisurely time.

Despite widespread speculation about his future at the network, Kim officially bid farewell to MBC earlier in February. Comedian Lee Kyung Kyu amusingly teased Kim’s inclusion in a tongue-in-cheek list of banned variety show personalities post-departure.
