Today (6th) at 8:30 p.m., KBS 2TV's "The secret of the celeb soldier" will follow the life of Kim Dae-jung on the occasion of the 102nd anniversary of President Kim Dae-jung's birth, who crossed the threshold of death several times and ultimately returned alive.
The man who saw the future even in the face of death
From the incident in which an explosive device detonated at his residence to a mysterious traffic accident, overseas abduction, and a crisis in which he was nearly drowned in the middle of the sea. Former president Kim Dae-jung had to face moments standing at the crossroads of life and death several times. Nevertheless, he survived each time. In this broadcast, there will be focused attention on how Kim Dae-jung endured those extreme moments and on the life narrative that crossed the boundary between life and death.
"The first president in my memory," said Le Chanwon as he began the story, and he said he was recently greatly shocked after watching a video. What he introduced was a black-and-white video filmed in 1981. In the dimly lit footage, Kim Dae-jung continues to speak, mentioning future changes in detail as if foreseeing the AI age. Watching this, Jang Doyoun admired, "He's Nostradamus," and when an explanation about the location and circumstances where the video was shot was added, she was reportedly left speechless.
Kim Dae-jung, who went into exile in 1982 due to political repression, continuously contacted foreign media and political circles while abroad to inform them about Korea's political reality. Despite threats that his safety could not be guaranteed if he returned, Kim Dae-jung decided to return after two years. The secret that allowed him to return safely even under the fierce military regime was thanks to the dozens of "human shields" who stayed by his side. When the identity of those human shields was revealed, the participants could not contain their astonishment. Who were they, and why did they stay by Kim Dae-jung's side?
Health secrets of the president
In 1997, Kim Dae-jung ran for the 15th presidential election. It was his fourth challenge, and he was 73 at the time. As health concerns spread because of his advanced age, the Kim Dae-jung campaign publicly released a medical certificate to confront the issue head-on.
In this broadcast, Jeong Nam-sik, who served as the personal physician for 12 years from the president's tenure through his post-presidency, appears to reveal the health secrets of former president Kim Dae-jung. How could he ultimately live long despite extreme stress and the aftereffects of torture? Upon hearing this, physician and writer Lee Nak-joon empathized, saying, "This is the most important thing," and praised it as "the level that should be used as a promotional video by the medical association."
Meanwhile, on this broadcast, lyricist Kim Eana and Professor Oh Je-yeon of the Department of History at Sungkyunkwan University join as special guests.
A person who narrowly escaped death countless times but ultimately survived, a politician who spoke about the future even in the face of death.
