'Naked Korean History' returns with a new face.
The first broadcast of 'Naked Korean History 2' (directed by Seo Yong-seok and Kim Si-hyeon) will air at 8 p.m. on September 9 (Tuesday). It is an easy and fun Korean history storytelling show with history communicator 'Big Star Teacher' Choi Tae-seong. The first season, which first aired in 2022, gained a magnetic charm that no one could watch just once, comfortably surpassing 100 episodes and proving its prowess as Korea's representative history entertainment program.
The upgraded second season embarks on a greater journey through Korean history, meeting pivotal moments and crucial figures that have adorned 5,000 years of Korean history. Notably, it highlights compelling rivals by utilizing a 'vs' competition framework that traverses various eras and genres. This competition structure is expected to offer more vivid and three-dimensional storytelling, enhancing viewer immersion.
The widely acknowledged star of Korean history, Choi Tae-seong, will lead 'Naked Korean History 2' following season 1. He is expected to continue to be responsible for the storytelling of 'Naked Korean History' with engaging, exciting lectures that blend entertainment, emotion, and lessons. Kim Dong-hyun, who has been growing alongside 'Naked Korean History,' has also confirmed his participation. Kim Dong-hyun, who announced in the last season that he achieved a level 5 certification in the Korean History Proficiency Test, is reported to be highly motivated to aim for level 1 this time around.
Actor Kwon Hyuk-soo and fromis_9 member Baek Ji-heon will join as new members. Kwon Hyuk-soo, possessing quickness, wit, a sense of humor, and entertainment skills, is expected to provide a unique pleasure while diving deeply into Korean history with a fresh perspective. Baek Ji-heon, who holds a level 1 certification in the Korean History Proficiency Test and is well-known for having a particular interest in history, will be highly active as the 'youngest history expert' enjoying Choi Tae-seong's lectures with enthusiasm.
The production team noted, 'Thanks to the great love from viewers, 'Naked Korean History' returns for season 2. In the new season, storytelling of Korean history will continue to be even more exciting with a competition structure. Within the twisty 5,000 years of Korean history, we ask for a lot of anticipation and interest until the first broadcast on who the strongest rival will be.'
