    <title lang="en">DIPLOMAT'S ARCHIVE: HIDDEN STORIES</title>
    <desc>As of April 2025, S. Korea has established 
diplomatic relations with a total of 194 countries.
Among them are countries that have had ties and 
exchanges with Korea for hundreds of years.
With such long-standing relationships with so many nations,
might there be fascinating hidden stories between 
Korea and the rest of the world that we don’t know yet?

"Diplomat’s Archives: Hidden Stories" begins with this very question.
Together with foreign embassies in Korea, 
the series uncovers and sheds light on meaningful 
yet lesser-known stories between Korea and other countries.

Through this, we aim to reaffirm the deep friendships that 
have been built over time, highlight how countries 
are interconnected—bilaterally and multilaterally—
and emphasize the importance of 
cooperation on the global stage today.

Inspired by the recommendations they hear on the street,
the two idols try the products themselves,
sharing honest reviews and comparing their different tastes

Step by step, their experiences and notes come together,
eventually forming their very own special “beauty book”.

    <title lang="en">DIPLOMAT'S ARCHIVE: HIDDEN STORIES</title>
    <desc>As of April 2025, S. Korea has established 
diplomatic relations with a total of 194 countries.
Among them are countries that have had ties and 
exchanges with Korea for hundreds of years.
With such long-standing relationships with so many nations,
might there be fascinating hidden stories between 
Korea and the rest of the world that we don’t know yet?

"Diplomat’s Archives: Hidden Stories" begins with this very question.
Together with foreign embassies in Korea, 
the series uncovers and sheds light on meaningful 
yet lesser-known stories between Korea and other countries.

Through this, we aim to reaffirm the deep friendships that 
have been built over time, highlight how countries 
are interconnected—bilaterally and multilaterally—
and emphasize the importance of 
cooperation on the global stage today.

    <desc>K-Beauty is loved all around the world,
but choosing the “right” product isn’t always easy.
With so many reviews out there,
it can sometimes feel even more confusing.

So two male idols hit the streets themselves!
Still new to the world of beauty, they meet everyday Koreans—
people who are true “beauty experts” in their daily lives,
each with their own routines and must-have products.

Inspired by the recommendations they hear on the street,
the two idols try the products themselves,
sharing honest reviews and comparing their different tastes
as they discover what works best for them.
Step by step, their experiences and notes come together,
eventually forming their very own special “beauty book”.

Join two idols on their honest and fun journey
as they explore and discover the world of K-Beauty together!

    <title lang="en">EXPLORING KOREAN LITERATURE B</title>
    <desc>2021 Exploring Korean Literature   
    There is a growing interest in Korean literature among readers from around the world and so we bring Korean classics to Korean modern literature to viewers in this special series under three themes. 

    
What They’ve Read  
    Well-known TV personalities read three translated works of Korean literature that have recently received attention.

    Kim Soom's novel "One Left", brings the comfort women issue to the forefront of the literary world, and her book is recited and discussed by Darcy Paquet, a translator and essayist for the film "Parasite," and translator and essayist Colin Marshall, Italian architect Simone Carena, and fashion designer Shin Ji-hye. The novel was published in the U.S. in September 2020 and a second book print was released this year.

    Cho Nam-Joo's novel "Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982" has been translated into 25 languages and is recited by TV personality Daniel Hicks (UK), Carlos Gorito (Brazil), YouTuber Sarah Mack (USA) and singer Punita (India) who share their thoughts about the book.

    Howon, a member of the boy band, W24, recites passages from Kim Young-ha's novel "Diary of a Murderer" and gives commentary.

    
 Living to Tell a Story  
    This documentary features Korean writers whose works are not only popular in Korea but also overseas.

    In episode 1, poet Kim Yi-deum, the Winner of the National Translation Award and the Lucien Stryk Award for her collection of poems, "Hysteria," as well as Korean novelists Kim Cho-Yup and Kim Yeon-su appear to talk about the creative process and how they carry out research before writing a novel. 

    In Episode 2, novelist Yun Ko-Eun, the winner of the Crime Fiction in Translation Dagger award for her book, "The Disaster Tourist", and novelist Ha Seong-nan and poet Jin Eun-young explain what they were trying to convey to readers through their works. 

    In Episode 3, novelist Hwang Sok-young, whose works are mostly inspired by his own experience of living in modern Korean society, tells the story of his life and literary journey. 

    
 A Word Depicted in Stories   
    The cultural characteristics in Korean literature that encompasses Korean classics to modern novels are highlighted on this show. Six episodes with different themes ranging from female poets in classical literature, makeup culture, wine and arts, tea ceremony, pets, and a literary discussion forum will begin airing on November 5th.
