Announcer Kim Byung-chan regrets drinking until 4 AM on his first child's birth day

Announcer Kim Byung-chan shared a past regret of leaving his wife alone to drink until the early morning hours during the birth of his first child, reflecting on the situation and his current feelings.

"My wife's resentment is a lifelong mistake"... Memories of the day of childbirth

In a recent video on the YouTube channel 'Dongchimi,' Kim revealed an anecdote from the day his first child was born. Kim stated that he heard the news of his wife's delivery after finishing a morning broadcast recording. Describing the atmosphere at the time, he explained that he visited the hospital after the production staff (PD) told him to "go for a moment."

However, Kim said that after visiting the hospital, he joined a drinking session with friends that lasted until 4 AM. Recalling the situation, he said, "I wanted to brag to my friends that the baby was born, and I drank because I felt I should celebrate." Kim mentioned the resentment his wife must have felt when he finally entered the hospital room at 4 AM, adding, "Even now, my wife brings up that story whenever she gets the chance." Reflecting on his mistake, he said, "I feel like the alcohol I drank that day was a mistake I will carry for a lifetime."

"Alcohol is an important tool for business"... Drinking as a part of social life

Kim then shared his views on alcohol in connection with his professional life. He mentioned that throughout his various activities as an announcer and a photographer, alcohol has played an important role in business. Kim explained, "It is almost impossible in our era to maintain human relationships without drinking," noting that drinking sessions act as an important 'Tool' when looking after juniors or forming relationships with clients. In particular, he added that when meeting with clients as a photographer, they sometimes finalize contracts after becoming close through drinking.

He shared how one can grasp a person's character through drinking sessions and how business relationships are formed. However, reflecting his changed values, he expressed the personal sentiment that "now, not drinking is better for doing business," stating that it is more efficient to practice moderation rather than risking mistakes while intoxicated. Meanwhile, cast member Yong-Keum Choi revealed that he avoids drinking sessions about 90% of the time, emphasizing that he does not drink a single drop yet has no issues with his social relationships.

Various alcohol-related episodes from the cast

The video continued with various alcohol-related anecdotes from the cast members. One member shared an episode of lying to his girlfriend in the past to attend a drinking session. He drew laughter by recounting how he lied that he was going to make *kimchi*, but eventually tried to cover his tracks by using *kimchi* bought from a mart. He recalled buying plastic containers for making *kimchi* at AsungDaiso and heading home with store-bought *kimchi* while drinking beer to make the situation look natural, only to face embarrassment when the lie was discovered.

On the other hand, a cast member who stated he does not drink at all emphasized that alcohol is not a prerequisite for social life, saying, "I don't go to drinking sessions often, but not drinking hasn't caused any issues in my human relationships." Additionally, everyday concerns related to alcohol, such as heightened sensitivity after drinking or conflicts between married couples, were shared among the cast. In particular, they discussed marital fights occurring in a sensitive state after drinking or obsessive-compulsive behaviors, such as the need to wash while intoxicated.
