Hip Korea: Yu-na Kim – Seoul Spirit

Can’t wait to see this on the Discovery Channel on March 19th! South Korean Gold medalist Yu-na Kim will be featured in a documentary titled “Hip Korea: Yu-na Kim – Seoul Spirit”.

It will be broadcast around the world on the Discovery Channel beginning March 19. It is the third in a series made to promote tourism in the Korean capital, following the first on pop star Rain and the second on actor Lee Byung-hun.

Shot between August and December 2009, the new film features Olympic champion figure skater Kim Yu-na and shows a variety of tourist sites in Seoul such as the Gyeongbok Palace, Gwanghwamun Plaza, Bosingak Bell Pavilion, and the nightscape along the Han River while following Kim’s daily routine.

    Hi there..just to add some additional information from the production house who is producing Hip Korea! The Hip Korea series including the episode on Kim Yuna is an independently produced series by Bang Singapore and the Discovery Channel. The Yuna episode was coproduced with her management company IB Sports. The broadcast however on Discovery is sponsored by the Seoul government. Hence the Seoul government is not the producer or rights holder or the editorial gatekeeper to this program. And Kim Yuna is not in any way promoting the Seoul government or its activities in any capacity for this program. We do however believe that Seoul is a wonderful context within which to understand the vast changes sweeping Korea and to visually help illustrate Yuna’s iconic achievements.

    Thanks
