[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Seulgi Kim] Son Mina, a writer and former KBS announcer, appeared on a Mexican current affairs program and gave an interview about South Korea's response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

On the 5th, Son Mina posted on her social network service (SNS), "The interview on a popular Mexican current affairs program produced by Televisa, the largest media group in Latin America, has been uploaded on YouTube."

She said, "There was a big misunderstanding regarding privacy invasion, so I corrected it and explained in detail about masks, which I couldn't mention during the Spanish broadcast due to time constraints." She added, "This time as well, Dennis Maerker, a veteran journalist and popular anchor with impressive credentials and style, highly praised our Republic of Korea's case and civic consciousness as 'an extraordinary case and even touching.'"

She continued, "Mexico, the largest economy in Latin America, has more than half of its population living in poverty, showing the severe wealth gap in Latin America, and lacks a proper medical system or infrastructure." She said, "In such a place where it is hard to even imagine how painful and tragic the times will be, my interview and the story of our Korea were of great help, and I was deeply moved as I repeatedly heard 'thank you'."

Finally, Son Mina added, "I will pray for Latin America, a land of tremendous history that heals with breathtaking nature and offers abundant warmth, affection, and love. Please join me in sending your thoughts."

Earlier, on the 28th of last month, Son Mina appeared on the Spanish current affairs talk show 'Mirror of the People' and gained attention by discussing the excellence of South Korea's COVID-19 prevention and response methods.

Son Mina is a former KBS announcer from the 24th recruitment class and has been working as a travel writer since resigning in 2007.
