The first episode, "Cyborg," of KBS's grand project "Transhuman," a three-part series often called the "superpower documentary," completed a successful premiere, and the dubbing session of narrator Han Hyo-joo for episode 1 was revealed.
The first episode, "Cyborg," of KBS's grand project "Transhuman," which depicts the "post-human" future that looks like a science fiction movie becoming reality, aired on the 12th (Wednesday) and received enthusiastic responses from viewers. Viewers sent warm praise with comments such as "the intro alone is a masterpiece. Worth the viewing fee," "it was truly chillingly good. A documentary that makes you think about many things," "it was impressive to see people who lost parts of their bodies doing research themselves and striving to overcome limits," and "the word cyborg used to appear only in movies, but mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and control engineering are flourishing." In episode 1, "Cyborg," the front lines of cutting-edge technologies that help people who have suffered unavoidable physical losses return to daily life—such as bionic arms, fully artificial hearts, and wearable robots—were introduced, offering hope.
In addition, actor Han Hyo-joo, who attracted attention before the broadcast as the first narrator of a science documentary, assisted viewers' understanding with a warm and soft narration tone. The production team released footage of Han Hyo-joo's dubbing session, which added warmth to cold scientific stories.
In the making film uploaded to the "KBS Documentary" YouTube channel, Han Hyo-joo entered the recording studio with a bright expression, drawing admiration with her unadorned, natural beauty. She recited the narration with clear pronunciation and a soft voice, saying, "Imagination becomes reality and the future has already arrived. The future that humans have drawn with boundless imagination is coming closer, one by one." Her serious expression, frowning as she concentrated, showed Han Hyo-joo's sober professionalism in conveying emotion even without her face being shown.
Han Hyo-joo shared her dubbing impressions of episode 1, "Cyborg," saying, "When I narrated today, when I recorded the very last page, chills ran through my whole body." She added, "I participated in 'KBS Transhuman' hoping that these technologies will be used well for humans and will be used for many people who need help. As a viewer, I think this will be a documentary I faithfully follow, so I ask for a lot of anticipation and interest." Along with Han Hyo-joo, episode 2 of "Transhuman," which will introduce a new horizon of human expansion, "brain implant," will air on the 19th (Wednesday) at 10 p.m. on KBS 1TV.
The three-part KBS grand project "Transhuman," which introduces the boundary between machines and humans and its front line in Han Hyo-joo's warm voice, is being broadcast on KBS 1TV at 10 p.m. every Wednesday for three weeks starting on the 12th. <
