Broadcaster Baek Ji-yeon (62) has been registered as an inside director of a company established by her son, Kang In-chan.
According to court registration information on Wednesday, Kang assumed the position of Seol Rip-ha-go (CEO) director at his personal company, Formare, in May last month. His mother, Baek, was registered as an inside director. The headquarters location is reportedly identical to the address of Kang's residence on Gyeongridan-gil in Yongsan, which is owned by Baek Ji-yeon.

Court registration documents list Formare's business areas extensively, including perfumes and cosmetics, food and beverages, household goods, lodging, brand design and consulting, advertising and marketing agency services, content production and media, exhibition and space planning and operation, intellectual property management and licensing, logistics and distribution, and entertainment and celebrity planning. Specific business performance or operational plans have not been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Baek began her broadcasting career in 1987 as a public recruit announcer for MBC, and the following year was selected as the first female anchor of "News Desk."
She married in 1995 and had a son, Kang, but divorced in 1998. She remarried in 2001 but divorced again after six years, raising her son alone. Kang married Jung Ji-soo, the second daughter of HL Group Chairman Chung Mong-won, in June 2023.
