A day in the life of two Koreans racing towards the 'ultimate immersion' unfolds on completely different stages: the soccer field and the laboratory.
On the upcoming episode of KBS2’s ‘Crazy Rich Korean’ airing on the 27th, the ‘crazy immersion’ of coach Kim Sang-sik, who is leading the ‘era of common sense’, and engineer Dennis Hong, a frontier in global robotics technology, will be revealed.
Coach Kim Sang-sik, who is rewriting the soccer history of Southeast Asia, enters his prayer routine the day before an A-match, saying, “It feels good to have faith,” which draws a retort from Lee Dong-gook. His pre-game prayer routine at the temple, predictions of goals by players he personally selected, and rotation tactics that defy common sense will be unveiled in this broadcast, surprising even coach Park Hang-seo.
In particular, Kim Sang-sik’s remarks, “We trained for two days and beat Manchester United,” and “I must not fail for other Korean coaches to be selected again,” reveal a sense of mission beyond that of a coach, raising expectations. His relentless preparation for the next match right after the game against Cambodia also showcases the essence of professionalism.
Meanwhile, Dennis Hong, who puzzled everyone with his statement “I don’t trust robots,” leads a life full of irony. Dennis Hong is the creator of the robot Artemis, praised by Bill Gates as the ‘best in the world’. The signature of Bill Gates engraved on Artemis’s leg and the world-class comment “Bill Gates followed me on social media first” spark curiosity.
His day, characterized by research that uses failure as a stepping stone with students, meticulous self-management with 15-minute power naps, and discussions about robots and cooking with his son, truly embodies the phrase ‘a man obsessed with execution’, promising to provide viewers with a profound stimulus. Notably, the story of a family obsessed with robots for three generations and the debut stage of a robot busking outdoors will also be featured in the main broadcast.
‘Crazy Rich Korean’ is a documentary variety show that goes beyond simple success stories, presenting the daily lives, philosophies, and emotions of K-people at the center of how crazy immersion in their work moves the world in a delightful and authentic manner.
‘Crazy Rich Korean’ will air on the 27th at 9:20 PM.
