"Kang conveyed his intention to quit to fellow members of the program about a week ago, and other staff members were subsequently informed of the news", a KBS official said in a telephone interview with the Chosun Ilbo on Wednesday.

"The production crew opposed the idea as the program is still very popular, so a final decision has not been made yet", he added.

The reason behind Kang's desire to leave the show has not yet been revealed.
