D'Live Unveils Local 'Rice' Themed Variety Show 'Miss Korea'

D’LiveTV, responsible for D’Live’s regional channels, announced on the 24th that it will introduce a variety entertainment program called ‘Mi米’s Korea (Miss Korea)’ that showcases the uniqueness of regions through rice.

Co-produced by D’LiveTV and OBS, Miss Korea is a program that reflects the trend of focusing on ‘local’ by introducing unique regional products, restaurants, culture, and the beauty and special characteristics of each area. In particular, to improve awareness of our ‘rice’ and promote the consumption of rice-processed products, the program features specialty rice products from various regions and adds elements for enjoying them. Each episode invites ‘local experts’ who know the region best to share stories about art, food, history, natural environment, and the lives and experiences of the local people and neighbors.

Hosted by broadcaster Sayuri and Lucky, Miss Korea will visit Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do as its first region. The program will deliver the seasons, tastes, stories, and hidden special ‘Mi’ of Yangpyeong, including Yongmunsa Temple, mountain vegetable bibimbap, Makgeolli, and the Chrysanthemum Festival. The first episode, ‘Miss Korea Episode 1: Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do,’ will premiere on December 3rd at 8:45 PM on D’Live Channel 1.

In addition, D’LiveTV will release an educational documentary program titled ‘Gift of the City, Library.’ This program reinterprets the value of libraries as public services and aims to make libraries feel like a ‘gift’ to city dwellers by encouraging more people to use them.

Meanwhile, ‘Gift of the City, Library’ is a short documentary planned through the broadcasting program production support project by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Communications Agency. It is scheduled to air on D’Live Channel 1 on the 25th at 8:25 PM.

D’Live stated, “We hope that through ‘Miss Korea,’ which explores new charms of our regions, rice consumption will be revitalized and many regional stories will be shared. Furthermore, through ‘Gift of the City, Library,’ we hope the value of libraries, which can be easily found around us, will be reinterpreted and lead to changes where many people gain a lot.”
