Popular comedian Jung Sun-hee will make a comeback as a radio host in mid-April after a seven-month hiatus, Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) announced, Wednesday.
Jeong had left last year another major radio station MBC when listeners complained about her criticism of anti-American beef protesters. The 37-year-old then took a break from the entertainment scene altogether when her husband of less than a year, actor Ahn Jae-hwan, died in September 2008, and her best friend, actress Choi Jin-sil, committed suicide two months later.
Jeong will re-enter the public radar as the DJ for a show on SBS Love FM (103.5 MHz). This also marks her return to the station after 10 years. The news was released earlier than scheduled in order to silence recent rumors that the widowed star had killed herself, a staff member of SBS radio was quoted as saying by Newsen.
"Jung Sun-hee did not rush her comeback", said the staff member. "She showed great enthusiasm to return to broadcasting. She has been through a lot of pain, but I hope work will help her recuperate".
Details about the radio show, such as the title or content, are yet to be announced. But considering Jeong's hosting style, it will most likely feature people's life stories, said SBS.
