Science writer Kwak Jae-sik made an unexpected confession.
The SBS program "Three perspectives," which airs at 8:35 a.m. on Sunday, the 21st, hosted by MCs Kim Seok-hoon and So Seul-ji, features science writer Kwak Jae-sik, historian Lee Chang-yong, internist Kim Bo-min, and comedienne Park Se-mi, who grants a multifaceted exploration of the human health keyword "oxidation."
First, docent and historian Lee Chang-yong probes the secret of the elixir of life "Mumiya," which 16th-century French king Francis I supposedly carried on his person daily. The medicine, which European royalty reportedly ate for immortality, was revealed to have been shockingly made from "ingredients taken from corpses," delivering a jolt. MC Kim Seok-hoon, upon hearing this, could not hide his astonishment, saying it was hard to believe. Curiosity grows as viewers wonder what that mysterious identity could be.
During the broadcast, science writer Kwak Jae-sik surprised everyone with the unexpected remark "actually, I have two fathers." He mentioned another "scientific father" in addition to his biological father and explained the fundamental reasons humans age and get sick using an intriguing analogy. Kwak then warned, "there is a time bomb hidden in our bodies," and interpreted its nature scientifically.
Next, internist Kim Bo-min identifies the common denominators of cancer, dementia and inflammatory diseases and introduces the latest medical keywords that have emerged as key answers to preventing them. In particular, she will focus on technologies that dramatically increase absorption rates and analyze the substance that serves as the "conductor" of the body's antioxidant system.
Comedienne Park Se-mi, who appeared as a special guest, passionately sang the OST of the Netflix hit animation "K-pop Demon Hunters" and likened scenes of fighting demons to the battle between reactive oxygen species and inflammation inside the body. Her cheerful performance, saying "close the gate so bad substances can't come out," reportedly left the studio in stitches.
Oxidation, which humanity has long feared, poses the question of how it becomes the spark for cancer and inflammation and how it can be controlled; the three perspectives of history, science and medicine provide clear answers. Viewers can expect to see everything from the emperor's secret medicine in history, the time bomb inside the body revealed by a scientist, to the solutions offered by the latest medicine, making this broadcast both informative and entertaining.
The 14th episode of the SBS knowledge and health variety show "Three perspectives" will air at 8:35 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 21.
