SBS 'Three Perspectives' delves into the vast topic of 'memory and dementia' through three lenses: history, science, and medicine.
On the broadcast of SBS 'Three Perspectives' airing on the morning of the 31st (Sunday) at 8:30 a.m., the theme 'Stop the end of memory!' will feature MC Kim Seok-hoon, So Seul-ji, science writer Kwak Jae-sik, historian Lee Chang-yong, neurosurgeon Choi Yul, and family medicine specialist Lee Kyung-sil. MC Kim Seok-hoon, an actor, noted, "By the time my child goes to college, I will be in my 70s. My biggest worry these days is whether I can stay healthy until then," expressing the honest fears of a middle-aged father. His confession represents the common anxiety of parents who began parenting at a late age, resonating deeply with the audience.
Historian Lee Chang-yong, serving as a docent, invokes President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Yalta Conference, a turning point in World War II. He discusses Roosevelt's dazed gaze, memory lapses, and diminished consciousness at that time, offering the shocking analysis that "that blurred judgment left a bifurcation in world history like the agreement on the division of the 38th parallel." The next individual introduced is Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States. He was the first president to openly confess his Alzheimer's diagnosis after leaving office, shocking the public with a letter stating, "I am now embarking on a journey into the twilight years of my life." 'Three Perspectives' highlights Reagan's case, which raised public awareness of dementia as a societal issue.
Science writer Kwak Jae-sik brings up the legend of Park Hyeokgeose recorded in the Samguk Yusa, unfolding the story. He states, "The mythical narrative of Park Hyeokgeose, who was born from an egg and became king, holds secrets that connect beyond mere legend to our brain health." Kwak Jae-sik interprets the symbolism in the legend scientifically, interestingly unraveling the workings of memory and brain cells to stimulate the curiosity of the viewers.
In today's world, where forgetfulness has become commonplace, attention is focused on the direction of brain health research. The component that has recently garnered attention is none other than phosphatidylserine. 'Three Perspectives' will thoroughly investigate how this substance protects brain health and memory through the lens of medicine. When the astonishing results revealed by the research team at Seoul National University are disclosed, MC Kim Seok-hoon and the other participants reportedly reacted, "I didn't expect this much," unable to hide their shock.
SBS 'Three Perspectives,' a knowledge health entertainment program that explores a single health topic through the lenses of history, science, and medicine, will air its 11th episode on August 31 at 8:30 a.m.
