KBS 2TV's 'Celeb's Secret' - Korea's first medical storytelling entertainment program - features Lee Chan-won, once again caught up in 'age controversy,' providing laughs with his despairing appearance.
The episode airing today, 4th, includes ASEAN economic expert Dr. Koh Young Technology. He said, "There was a domestically produced car called Pony for the first time. I think many people might not know about it..." as he looked around at the MCs. Meanwhile, amidst the ongoing 'age controversy,' Lee Chan-won, who is suffering, looked blankly, and Jang Do-yeon joked, "No, I feel like you are lying! I think I saw you in the parking lot!" In response, Lee Chan-won confessed in despair, "Actually, my first car was a Pony," bringing laughter.
Additionally, the story of how Daewoo Chairman Kim Woo-joong launched the remarkably compact car 'Tico' to compete with the small car 'Pony' will be revealed. He fervently marketed while commuting in Tico, but lyricist Kim In-na, who experienced that era, said, "There were rumors that if you stepped on gum, the car would stop and it would get caught in tunnel spider webs," conveying Tico's evaluation at that time.
In this way, three major corporations—Hyundai, Daewoo, and Samsung—experienced a significant event that shook Korea during the 1990s, known as the 'day of national bankruptcy' during the 1997 'IMF financial crisis.' Lee Chan-won noted, "My father was an employee of a large corporation, but he took early retirement in 1998 and returned to our hometown, where he struggled in various businesses. My father and mother's generation must have had a really tough time," reflecting on the era's hardships. However, Chairman Kim Woo-joong viewed the IMF as an opportunity and took a bold step to aggressively acquire failing companies. The results of his choices will be revealed in the broadcast.
The life and death of Kim Woo-joong, who became 'the hope of office workers' from an ordinary salaryman and also orchestrated the largest accounting fraud in world history, is explored in Korea's first medical storytelling entertainment program 'Celeb's Secret,' airing on the 4th (Tuesday) at 8:30 p.m. on KBS 2TV.
