"W" new host: Kim Hye-soo

"The documentary program W has had five successful years on the air, with news anchor Choi Yun-yeong as the host. The show’s handling of risque topics, including coverage of Haitian children eating “mud cookies” (made of mud, salt and margarine) and the murder of a Korean woman by her British husband, has received both critical acclaim and public interest."

This is this show I was talking about: World and I, apparently they changed the name. I haven't yet got the chance to watch the new episode with new anchor, but I'm waiting for it impatiently.

But you know, two movie shows are coming my way, one with Iggi cast, mehehe, so I will most likely cut it and post it here today.

세계와 나 W: The World And I

   Maybe I will start like this. Fifty years back, Korea was one of those countries who got a lot of help from the others. Now, the table has turned, and it is Korea that helps a lot. Not only by financing, but also by building the infrastructure of undeveloped countries and regions. Korean medical stuff visits remote corners of the world with help. And some of known people take an active role in participating in helping programs. I mean, recording a song for a cause is nice, but for those in need building a house, school, orphanage is even better. This is the main difference about those I like and those I admire.

The show I'm talking about is 세계와 나 W. I watched today an episode from July 2nd. To my surprise, I saw Kim Namgil-nim in it. He appears on behalf of the organisations fighting the sexual abuse and poverty. He doesn't just talk. He doesn't record a song (he could, granted, he's not a professional singer, but his voice is nice, plus he sings really good), but he takes a hammer and props up a wall. This is the actor I want to follow his career the way I have been doing for all this time. This is the person I want to look up to.
