"Never Forget" SK Broadband to Air Special Programming for 'Month of Patriots and Veterans' Starting Tomorrow

[Asia Economy Reporter Joeslgina] SK Broadband will air a special program for the Month of Patriots and Veterans from June 5 to 12 through B tv cable local channels in observance of Memorial Day.

According to SK Broadband on the 4th, during the special period, at 10 PM, special documentaries produced by the news production bureaus in Seoul, Daegu, Jungbu, and Busan regions, as well as documentaries and dramas produced by Defense TV and Buddhist TV, which are exchanging programs, will be broadcast simultaneously nationwide.

The special programming begins at 10 PM on Saturday the 5th with "My War," produced by Defense TV. It contains stories of the Korean War conveyed through vivid memories of veterans who have become old soldiers. It is expected to provide an opportunity for generations without memories of the 6.25 War to understand the older generation who participated in the war.

On the 66th Memorial Day, the 6th, at 10 PM, "The Fierce Tragic History, the Korean War" will be broadcast. As time passes like a person's life, the generation who personally experienced the Korean War is disappearing. The program aims to revisit the tragic history through traces of the Korean War that remain in various parts of our lives, which have become a strange background encountered only in movies these days.

On the 7th and 8th, over two days, the drama "Samyong Daesa" Parts 1 and 2, which depict the stories of the Imjin War monks who protected the country alongside the Joseon Buddhist pioneer Samyong Daesa, will be aired.

The "Memories of the 6.25 War" episode airing on the 9th vividly tells the battle story of Cheonan Samgeori, where the fiercest fighting occurred, from the perspective of 6.25 veterans. The episode "The Future of Military Service, Volunteer System vs Conscription System," which revisits the rapidly decreasing military manpower issue, and "Busan, the Refuge Capital," which finds traces of the Korean War throughout Busan to remind viewers of the correct historical perspective, will be released on the 10th and 11th respectively.

The final day of the special, the 12th, features "True Story Theater: Untold Stories in the World," which shows the process of uncovering the truth about the "Nogeunri Incident" that occurred in Yeongdong-gun, Chungbuk during the 1950 6.25 War. It is highly praised for enhancing immersion by including a play reconstructing the Nogeunri civilian massacre incident along with testimonies from survivors. It also contains a video interview with Martha Endoza, a reporter from the US AP News who scooped the Nogeunri incident in 1999 and became a Pulitzer Prize winner.

SK Broadband’s June "Month of Patriots and Veterans Special" programs can be viewed on B tv cable channel 1.
