Age: 38

Kim So Young is a South Korean former announcer turned entrepreneur. She graduated from Uijeongbu Girls' High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Sociology from Yonsei University.

She made her debut in 2010 working for cable network OBS. She then joined MBC in 2012, in the middle of a chaotic and prolonged strike demanding the resignation of then MBC president Kim Jae Chul. However, her tenure at the network was marked by constant pressure from her bosses due to her political ideas that she often expressed on social media. She was constantly being moved from one show to another, never lasting more than one year on a specific program. Eventually, she resigned in 2017 and became an entrepreneur, opening several bookstores around the country. In April 2017, she married former announcer turned actor Oh Sang Jin and the couple has two children.

She now is the CEO of her bookstore chain and also works as a freelance broadcaster. She is represented by TN Entertainment (티엔엔터테인먼트).
