The 48th episode of KBS2's 'The secret of celebrity soldiers,' which will air at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday the 17th, highlights the mysterious life and death of Michael Jackson, the "king of pop," who had to endure the world's most fervent praise and brutal ridicule at the same time.
Seventeen years have passed since Michael Jackson's death, but his daughter Paris Jackson still insists, "My father was murdered." This broadcast traces his final day, which still remains a huge question mark, and examines the reality of the misunderstandings surrounding him
Choreographer Monika, who joined the broadcast that day, recalled Michael Jackson's death, saying, "At the time it was so unbelievable it felt like April Fool's Day." Writer Bae Soon-tak also expressed regret about his short life, saying, "His musical achievements will be difficult for other artists to achieve again."
There was a decisive witness to his death: Conrad Murray, the physician who spent about 12 hours with Michael Jackson on his last night. Murray, the physician, claimed that Jackson's breathing stopped during the two minutes he was away and that he took immediate action. But when it was revealed that the 911 call was made 1 hour and 30 minutes later, the studio was thrown into an uproar.
The autopsy findings were also surprising. Monika could not hide her shock at the fact that Michael Jackson's death was classified as "homicide," and Lee Chanwon also tilted his head and reacted, "So it was murder?" adding to the tension. This broadcast focuses on the missing golden hour of 1 hour and 30 minutes to closely investigate the mystery surrounding his death.
The misunderstanding that troubled Michael Jackson the most in his lifetime was the rumor that he wanted to become white. The mockery that he used bleach to make his entire body white or that he was addicted to plastic surgery ultimately trapped him in the frame of "Wacko Jacko."
But specialist Lee Nak-jun suggested that these changes were not eccentric behavior but possibly choices made to fight illness. He said Michael Jackson suffered from the autoimmune disease lupus in life, which could have caused necrosis of nasal tissue. Cast members could not hide their sorrow at the analysis that his insistence on using a black umbrella even under the blazing sun was not eccentric behavior but a battle with illness.
Before his death, Michael Jackson was troubled by debts amounting to 700 billion won. What he prepared for his comeback was the concert tour "This Is It." The concert, originally planned for 10 shows, was increased to 50 by the concert planning company's unilateral decision, and Michael Jackson had to continue an unstoppable race to death. What exactly happened that last night to the king of pop?
