Jang Seongkyu·Lee Sangyeop's ranking battle chart show "From one to ten" selected the "Korean passport" envied by people around the world, the "K-convenience facilities" that amazed the world, and "Good Doctor," which became a god in the U.S. medical world, as the top three cases of national prestige boosting.
On the 19th episode of tcast E Channel's "From one to ten," the "1983-born close friends" Jang Seongkyu·Lee Sangyeop·Lee Seokhoon held a fierce three-way battle on the theme of "icons of national prestige that captivated the world."
Especially, "honey-voiced vocalist" Lee Seokhoon, who appeared as a special guest for his same-age friends, overwhelmed the scene with his extraordinary wit and quick-reacting responses and grabbed first place. The number one item was the "Republic of Korea passport," which boasts the world's second-strongest passport power. Lee Seokhoon introduced it as "a weapon that supports me as much as my voice whenever I go on overseas performances." The Republic of Korea passport has global competitiveness that allows visa-free entry to 190 out of 277 countries worldwide. In addition, Korea became an international example by issuing the world's first braille passport for the visually impaired, and the baggage handling accuracy at Incheon International Airport boasts an astonishing 99.9998%, placing it in the "top 1%."
The "K-convenience facilities compilation" that amazed the world took second place. Facilities familiar to us but a "Shinsegae" to foreigners were introduced, from the "LED floor traffic lights" that Korea was the first in the world to introduce into transportation infrastructure to the "crosswalk shade" that senses and operates temperature·wind·sunlight by itself. In particular, regarding the heated seats that warm bus stops in winter, nicknamed the "butt-warming seats," Lee Seokhoon said, "When I first saw them I thought I was going to faint. I'm proud to be Korean," expressing his pride.
The story of Dr. Kim Yoo-geun, the "Korean good doctor" who provided free medical treatment to low-income patients in the U.S. who had difficulty obtaining health insurance, delivered a deep resonance. He opened a free clinic in 1993 and treated more than 100,000 patients, from diabetes patients to cancer patients. In recognition of these contributions, he received the Jefferson Award as the first East Asian recipient and even received a leadership award from the U.S. FBI. He has retired after 25 years of free medical service, but the clinic he founded still operates under the name "The Kim Health Center." Jang Seongkyu expressed his respect, saying "It is sublime," and Lee Sangyeop admired, "He is a real hero."
Meanwhile, the "song title initial consonant quiz" the same-age trio played for a limited edition "national museum muis" added to the viewing fun. In the early rounds, Lee Sangyeop and Jang Seongkyu gained momentum by each guessing "I miss you" and "I know," respectively, but later Lee Seokhoon sang three songs, including TWS's "The first meeting didn't go as planned," and succeeded in a comeback to emerge as the final winner.
Also on the episode, Lee Sangyeop drew intense attention with his passionate hosting that held nothing back. About this, Jang Seongkyu praised him, saying, "He works harder after getting married. It's almost at 'Gag Concert' level." In addition, cases of national prestige boosting that received the world's acclaim were richly introduced, including the "fingerprint analysis technology" that the FBI learned a thing or two from, the "K-dental tourism" that people around the world rave about, the "Korean language village" that is a hot spot among U.S. millennials and Gen Z, the hot travel trend in Korea "optician tour," the "Korean baking king" admired even by French President Macron, the Egyptian grand museum "muis director," and the "K-coin" used by half the world's population.
