Big Star Teacher Choi Tae-sung will meet 'Knowing Bros' in celebration of Liberation Day.

On the 16th, the JTBC entertainment program 'Knowing Bros' will feature a special episode for the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day, with appearances by Korean history instructor Choi Tae-sung, announcer Jang Ye-won, and actress Lee Jung-hyun. They will share various episodes related to Korean history and discuss the significance of Liberation Day with the brothers.

On this day, Choi Tae-sung will share, "Thanks to my previous appearance on 'Knowing Bros', I was appointed as the '1st Honorary Ambassador of the Overseas Koreans Agency' and 'Public Relations Ambassador for the Ministry of National Defense's Remains Recovery Team'," bringing warm news. He will also mention, "As a lecturer, I thought that my students might get tired of seeing the same plain face every time, so I started collecting unique glasses," showcasing his collection of distinctive glasses that impress the brothers.

Jang Ye-won reveals, "At first, I had no intention of taking the Korean History Proficiency Test, but after filming 'Naked Korean History' with Kim Dong-hyun and Jonathan, who passed the test first, I decided to take it." She shares her experience of studying seriously for the test, saying, "Teacher Choi Tae-sung put pressure on me, so I studied as if I were preparing for the college entrance exam and didn't meet any friends."

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-hyun shares, "I was invited to sing the national anthem at the 73rd Liberation Day ceremony as a descendant of a national merit holder, but I received many protest calls asking, 'Why is a Japanese person singing the national anthem?'" recounting her experience of being mistaken for a Japanese role. Additionally, Choi Tae-sung's touching lecture and various episodes for the '8.15 Liberation Day Special' can be seen on 'Knowing Bros' airing at 9 PM on the 16th.
